It depends whether you plan on fitting a bigger engine or want a vent anyway for styling purposes.

Where do you think the air that goes through the front bumper goes? Into the engine bay....how will a feed change that?
I'd put a sealed pipe from airbox to just behind the gap in the bumper for performance, but you only need to get air into the radiator for cooling purposes.

you need more air to the radiator. I would have not covered up the hole to begin with.

I agree, this seems the most sensible option

I dont know on post97 corsas but on pre97 corsas, except on GSi, the OE bumper grille is BLOCKED off anyway. So what difference will it had made if i was to keep my OE bumper or the grilleless Delta bumper?
