Cheers guys, Well I have just pulled all the crap out of the inside.  Just want to get a good cold air feed to it.  So will use the existing 65mm hole in the bottom and get a feed pipe to it from the front bumper, will try and get a 63mm trumpet for the top 1/2.  Does the bottom need to be any bigger? would cutting it out to 80mm make it any better?

It's much better to buy a 8v air box for the bottom part for future reference. The more air the better. At speed a 80mm hole will take more air than 65mm as long as its got a direct feed to the front bumper. I need a set of Hellas to make the best air box mod
