You use a hole saw or tank cutter to get the holes nice an round to that size, then you get air feed pipes from pipercross that have those plastic ends to them and slot them in the holes you made... Did it to a mates car and had the pipes feeding into the bottom of his airbox...

It's my housemate.... he didn't do the holes himself. Just simply cut out and base ports fitted in place

right cheers lads, and when i cut throught the bumper, it will go straigh throu to the engine bay? will it be easier to get an air feed from there rather than just from the bottom of the bumper??

I think it was a bit of a pain getting the air feed through around the rest of the parts in the engine bay - but if you can get it to work - it will be better than the air feed just pointing downwards

right well i'll have a go 2morrow.
it just seems that my engine bay is too full to have a cold air feed without the pipe being totally squashed. and its only a 1.4
i just dnt wanna drill the holes and not being able to do it coz it will wreak the bumper. 
cheers for the coments and advice
