Under you're steering wheel behind the CECM module you'll see some cables going through to the engine bay.. Pop your hood remove the battery case and you'll see them coming out.   

At least that's the easiest way on LHD cars. Think maybe you don't have to remove the battery box on RHD?

Sorry where do you mean again...
Id rather they come out from the left side somewhere so they come out near the battery and i dont have to have them going accross the bay if that makes sense

if you lift up black plastic strip, along bottom of windscreen.
You'll see a rubber bung, cable inlet by the air intake, covered with mesh grill.
It's for when you have the air quality sensor.

Also another lower down, below the battery, where abs pump is

Push a hole in either one and feed cable will come into passenger footwell

What do you mean by cable inlet by the air intake?

There is a rubber bung by the side of this, for the cable
