[kennierobo]

have to agree a bit rounder may have suited shape of car better........nowt like a little grinding......lol

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

brave or insane, i'm yet to decide....

and yes rounder would suit the car better imo

 

[fraz_micra_88]

each to their own

So your gonna get more than air intake what about water feeding straight in.:glance:

 

[squarepants]

make some covers up

 

[Napster]

how can u prevent water getting into throttle body with this design?

or is it impossible??

just wondering because i dont think it can be done....as in.....u cannot prevent water entering through those vents?

im guessing that it is ok for water to make its way under the bonnet and over the engine....aslong as eveything is taped / secured / plugged down so its all water tight?

 

[Alienfish360]

The airfilter should do this job.

 

[kennierobo]

it will be interesting to see how it turns out.....wasnt sure i liked mine untill i finished it.........so i reserve comment untill the jobs done......you never know it may look the the part

 

[Anto Modded]

Great idea, cant wait to see how it looks finished..thats what counts

 

[Baz]

The airfilter should do this job.

to a certain extent maybe but if its belting down not a chance. . . .

 

[jackassuk]

due to the fact that water isnt very nice and likes big holes, the design has been changed.

you gota wait and see guys and gals.

jackassuk

 

[SHR3K]

As jackass said the design has been changed. But i'm waiting 2 days untill its finished before i unveil it

Shr3k

 

[kennierobo]

oh dear what now........dont tell me you put some huge big obseen buldge on it....

 

[SHR3K]

Actually japsye i kept it nice and shallow, and curved it out lol,

Anyway i decided with a little help from my friends to curve in a "scoop" well its looking spanking to be honest.

See what you think, had a coat of primer:

Oh and 4 hours of sanding.... Worth it though
