A guy on VW vortex made his own one ages ago by cutting up one of those big water cooler bottles. Worked too  :wink:

Thanks guys, lots for me to go on! Thank you also to VR6-Joe for removal tips. Perhaps the off side fog lamp vent could be a second feed into the airbox?! I was reading a long post on this and some are for and some are against?! I'm on my weight saving mission so everything that I dont need on a daily basis is up for consideration!

joe they are 95 quid each for the fogs, 15 quid each for the reflectors and 15 quid each for the indicators

so your talking about £230 for the full set up both sides

Yeah and sell me the fog glass, mine are cracked to fook.

about 20 quid at dealer for the glass, but tricky to fit and get to seal..

Cheaper to buy a new set from ebay, lol

Mine now supplies a cold air feed into the airbox and had no problems with it even in the pouring rain.

For extra weight savings consider dumping the carbon cannister and valve and the 2.5 kg weight attached to the top rear of the engine subframe.
