Decided to change the air filter that came with the APS induction pipe as it looked a bit small and had seen better days, couldn't fit the new filter on the induction pipe so had to use a nice big piece of silicon hose with a 45 degree bend

Standard filter in the wheel arch

Filter should get plenty of cold air through the fog light cover
