Where is the best place to draw in cold air for my air filter?
I've got Pre-Lift bumpers, so theres little/no places for air to come in.
Any advice?

the best place is to run a cold feed from behind grill, it will just go past the rad hose

if ur cold feed is long enough then it goes from the grill and to the left of the hose and then on to ur filter
u could always point it down towards the inner wing but u'll not get much cold air

The feed I've got is pretty big though, its like, 70mm. This means that it can just get over the radiator hose, but not down behind the radiator itself.
At the moment its aiming behind the headlight.
Any ideas?

In a TV mag a while ago there was a tuning guide for 1.4/1.6's, n it said to drill a hole in the airbox n run a pipe down to the space behind the headlight, as it's a high pressure area.

i've put it over the radiator hose and behind the lower grill. Still behind the radiator.
I've got the original feed still in the front bumper, so I think it'll be fine
