you need to drill the side closest to the drivers side wing the bottom of it and the front only drill holes about 3/4 of the way across the front this will minimise the risk of sucking hot air from the engine

My corsa doesnt have a dizzy cap and I bought an airbox from 1 with a dizzy cap
It doesnt fit right cause the hole on the front doesnt line up with the rubber bit to hold it in place
