Title: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: Callum45 on August 17, 2014, 03:17:38 am: Looking to fit some cold air feeds to my car and plan to run them through the fog cover.

Does anyone have any pictures of some fitted and links to the ones they have used, thanks

Post by: Stevepd on August 17, 2014, 08:23:57 am: I removed the boxed item at the grill and the tapered bit that is clamped to the rigid plastic. I the fitted 80mm cold air tube to the tapered bit bring the tapered bit forward against the original intake = works a treat. I 'll throw up a photo later.....

Post by: ED30GTI on August 17, 2014, 04:00:28 pm: I like the open vents , but I also like the look of the ducting feed , I need to do one of them but not sure which route to go down . :smiley:

Post by: Tazgti5 on August 17, 2014, 04:11:31 pm: I also would like to see how the air duct is fed through the engine

Open vents on the fogs don't actually cool anything. Air needs to be specifically directed to where you want it to cool, hence the tubes.

Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on August 17, 2014, 07:01:51 pm: Open air vents + ducting to the air filter element and/or brakes is a win/win.

I have removed my fog lights and fastened ducting from behind the fog opening

Cable tied to the screw holed that the fogs screwed into

Excuse the filthy car :ashamed:
Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: MC71 on August 17, 2014, 07:24:21 pm: As Mike says, run ducting from grill to CAI and/or brakes.

Pic of mine fitted in the above post, removed pic and engine bay pic below. Remove fog light to fit as its too tight then after ducting put into place then refit fog light.

Thank you for the link, are they a good fit?

Hi , I've just bought some open grilles off of eBay £19.80 delivered are a perfect fit and in my opinion look a lot better than standard ones. Jut got to get some ducting to my filter now. :happy2:

Thank you for the quick reply going to order these asap

Post by: Martk19871 on August 15, 2016, 10:31:19 pm: Sorry for kick starting an old thread. Bit what ducting did people use for this model? Where from? Thanks
Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: bad devotions on August 16, 2016, 10:09:21 am: i should imagine that you can pick up that sort of piping from B&Q and the likes. Good find though. I quite like this mod, although am not running a CAI just yet.
Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: Dan648v on August 16, 2016, 11:08:08 am: I got mine from just searching eBay for air ducting, quite abit comes up :happy2:
Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: Martk19871 on August 16, 2016, 06:15:19 pm: Reason I asked is I've been to B&Q and Homebase, literally nothing that will work, looked for ducting / pipework in electrical and plumbing.

Ok cheers Dan, I will just take a chance on something off ebay, hopefully it's not too wide etc.
Title: Re: Cold Air Feeds In Fog Grills
Post by: MC71 on August 17, 2016, 11:34:26 am: Get some ducting from ebay. I used RAM AIR ducting 100mm x 1000mm. I also used a air funnel (see build thread), also ebay and same size or VERY close in size will be fine.

Remove fog light to allow access and slightly squash tubing to fit....job done.

Thanks man, that's pretty much what I've ordered. I went with the 80mm x 500mm, hopefully it's just about long enough!

Post by: Martk19871 on August 18, 2016, 09:56:36 pm: Quick Thursday evening mod. Just about long enough. Went for a spin and I actually think it helps the Revo CAI breath hidden behind the front light.
