It currently has the cut out fog grills, but the air just goes nowhere, espesh with the box around the filter to block engine heat. so i defo think i need to direct it up there. and probably replace with standard fog grills

Title: Re: rampipe trumpets
Post by: MAT ED30 on September 16, 2010, 09:23:26 pm
just buy the kit mate it so much easier than messing about and infact just measure the opening when you take the cover off the foglight as mine just sat perfectly behind the cover
