Funny you bring this up mate as im just about to make some new fog covers as i need another port on the other side. Im going for a more oem look this time.

rather

what you got in mind? Or is it still very much a work-in-progress?

Personally I like the ones on the blobeye (above), but either in carbon or painted the same colour as the car.

Fog surround with a fine mesh to stop the wildlife getting in.??

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

not bad... where did you get it from?

Pics?

Now thats what I am talking about... details? Where? Price? etc Will it fit a bugeye

Here's one I made earlier

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

that would work as well... I have a slightly different bumper, but probably even easier to do this to mine

JonMc

From Frayz pic this is the same trumpet and just cut out the mesh and attach. This is an interim as I plan to make some custom fog covers now that I am lampless which will be a standard bug/prodrive bumper hybrid style. I have some BMW E30 bumper vents to use for the custom ones

Just got a secondhand foglight surround, glued the mesh in place and then mounted the flexi-pipe directly behind. I dont know what the bugeye foglight surrounds are like, but you can get pre-meshed covers off e-bay for bugeyes. Hope you eventually get what your looking for..

You could be really lazy (like me) and chuck the fogs and fit a trumpet (or 2) in the holes left.

grahamc

will have a look, thanks!!!

a little untidy, but does the trick I think I will take the covers off mine and see what is behind

JonMc

iTrader: (51)

I had to cut a lot of that away to fit my FMIC

iTrader: (3)

It's very untidy, But it only took 20 minutes and does work well for little money and no effort
Did I mention I'm lazy?

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

precisely why I like the idea

micaredwrx

iTrader: (3)

20 minutes and less than £20 on parts. Job done

I may have a spare port for sale as im looking at some other duct ideas.

stainless bellmouth 3" £10

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

thanks

is 3" as big as it can be?

frayz

iTrader: (7)

3" is 76mm and is as big as you really want to go on the front of the car. Much bigger and it will look daft.
You will be amazed at just how much air a 3" port will flow. You also have to route the hose. 3" hose is perfect for routing and is the perfect size to fit into the stock airbox.

Try bigger if you want but you honestly wont gain any more.

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

hmmm, will have to measure up over the weekend and go from there, but will definitely keep it in mind.

How do you find this plus your cold air kit?

frayz

iTrader: (7)

It made a huge difference mate, my car has been off the road for a whilenowbut im going to use the same 3" ducting to feed the filter for my rotated GT35R setup.

So im very confident it works very very well

grahamc

iTrader: (10)

thats very good to know!! Thanks

have a look at the rest of the kit they sell - its like aladins cave - full of goodies

phil739- when i wrote loud i meant because of the colour! however you can here the air being sucked in induction hose in the inner wing, you can also hear the stock bov venting
