Ok some of you with good memories will remember what i did when i was looking for a decent spot for a cold air feed on my LCR. for those of you that dont the link is

Everything is working very well and im really pleased with the feed but i have been looking for a way of evening up the look on the front of the car, as removing both fogs and having one shiney feed looks strange. other than putting a shiney blank behind the drivers foglight grill my only other option seemed to be to make another feed.
once i fitted my FMIC everything seemed to click into place and i could now see exactly how i was going to do it but i needed to find and make some parts.
i started by looking for a 'T' or 'Y' piece and found this in wickes which i modified to fit over my existing scoop. here the Y and it fitted to the scoop
this will effectively sit inside the bumper below the nearside headlight.
i then had a very hard look for a decent bit of piping and found some awesome tubing which i recommend you all look at if you are thinking of doing any cold air feeds. its extremely tough and flexible and a bit cheaper then ducting found on ebay. heres the link http://www.cisdirect.co.uk/products.asp?cat=137
next i made another shiney feed for the offside
and had to find a way of connecting to the new tubing..... wickes to the rescue again...
and here it is fitted together
Now all i have to do is fit it to the car which will probably be friday as i am taking the bumper off again....
I cant wait.... if the gains on the logs are as good as for the first foglight scoop then i'll be over the moon if i see something similar for the second
