Default Cold air feed on classic

Have a few questions chaps.

1. I'm guessing people have done it?
2. What pipe work and where from?
3. Any improvement?
4. Any disadvantages? Let's assume I'm not going to drive the car through a lake, lol.

Think that's about it. Cheers for any input as allways.

Morrete headlights with the light missing for a Cold air feed pipe straight to the filter!! Always liked this set-up on a classic and at least high enough to stay away from big puddles!!!

Have you got STi covers??

If you have, cut/drill a big hole, then fit one of these trumpets to it(e-bay add attached), and attach a big feed pipe and direct it to your filter!!

Would probably paint it black too, or if you can find a black one as the alloy/shiney ones look a bit bling!!!

Pre-facelift bumper you've got isn't it, Dan?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131173084433

If you do that and want to be really posh, get a wingsert from Frayz.

The morette looks better and easier to install but costs more, the fog light mod is a lot less cheaper but more faffing about chopping and cutting etc (don't **** it up lol)
But both very easy.

Too cheap for genuine Morettes, even modified ones.

They've been sold anyway, ending up near me.
