Not to sh!t on your chips, but I would be very cautious with a kit like that in our current climate.
I would not fit it until the sun comes out.

With the rain like this your engine is going to be drinking a lot of water if you go through puddles that you cant avoid.

Haha wey aye didn't even pay that for it, on a budget mate it's for me project car, plenty of time down the line for performance  Air filters,& me standard box is goosed. the majority of me funds are getting spent on turbo, injectors, manifolds etc 
Nice V6 btw

I certainly wouldn't be fitting that until the weather brightens up, if I had one I would have ruined my engine 10 times over with the amount of large puddles I've had to drive few over the last few weeks

Air filters a air filter in my eyes Carl, sucks air into the intake, I could put an empty tea bag over the pipe and still get desired effect. Thing is I needed a new filter so I went for the cheap option.

Dom I dunno water the weathers like down your neck of the woods but the main roads round here aren't to bad, no fish swimming about or anything

Cut the pipe so the filter sits behind the headlight ..if it will fit there.. as said i would not risk putting the filter behind the bumper.. this is the UK rain is all we get :grin:
