I have about 100 no joke. all wing side, I honestly can't drill any more holes.

Oh and just bought a pipercross panel filter for £34.85
Rather than lots of little holes I just cut away large sections of the air box, works better that way in my opinion. I need to get pics up!

True but I wanted some structural strengh. I started off with small holes then after a week I went mad with a 30mm hole saw.

What structural strength? It's not a building, doesn't need that much strength  :tongue: I left the drivers side and some of the front and back untouched though so it still has strength.
