F plate is 88-89  :smiley:

nope no funnel bit any pic's ?
the 88 valver has some plastic around the drivers headlight but a big bit is missing I assume and it does not have the intake ..

8916v pm on he way in a minute mate  :smiley:

There was a tube from the carb arm connected to it (1.6 carb motor) and air would be sucked via the 1/4 panal to the car, But i dissconnected the tubing and placed a cone filter on the end of it and put it behind the grill. Ive still got the bit in the 1/4 panal there, ill take a photo in the morning (when its light) if you like

mines a 90 digifant. there was a piece a plastic that fitted from the front of the airbox to the hear of the headlamp enclosure.
Cant take a pic, as i ripped it out, and its in a box of bits somewhere!

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.

the intake duct is in the haynes well the elbow is  :shocked:
I thought maybe it was for carb model's and fitted to the shell prior to being spec'd as a gti except for the haynes shows it in the injection section  :shocked:

I'm realy interested to see what's missing from behind the headlight to the air box so I know what I'm looking for  :smiley:
