well today i decided armed with only the things in my house to remove the front light for cold air to pass to the filter


here are some pics i took and how i did it


1. removed bumper using wiki guide (took ages lol)



2. removed front light



3. got an old kids tennis racket for the shead and cut out the meshed bit for use as cover



(sprayed the insert black as i didnt fancy pink lol )



5. fitted to inside of light hole on bumper



6. put back together and the finished result












and do i win the comp for biggest magic tree?? lol :lol:





any comments welcome as usual

SICK! I'm doing the exact same thing when I do my battery relocation!

Did you change your intake routing at all? To have it all the way up by the high beam?

And it was a good idea to use an old tennis racket! I've been searching for DAYS for some mesh I can fit to it, but that's a much better idea!
Kudos!

hi mate

i havnt moved the intake routing yet, i still need to relocate the battery lol.

the tennis racket worked a treat!


cheers

Looks good. Great idea with the tennis racket mesh!
How do cops in the UK look at you missing one of the high beams, though?

haha! Good work mate. That's what i like to see, using crazy crap on your car! Looks ace though

poor little girl, now she cant play tennis.

But The idea is good. I have even seen air filters sticking all the way out there.

That's awesome! Sadly though here in the US that's a big no no aka illegal and won't pass safety inspection which driving a car with no inspection is a bad idea. I don't see how a cop can pull some one over for that for the high beam is only to be used for certain situations but I'm sure if you had to drive with the high beams on and a cop did see only one high beam on I guess you could be pulled over for that. I would so do this but I don't want to deal with failing inspections.

I like it, nice use of innovation. However, I would black out the other high-beam so it matches, because right now it just looks like your car has a black eye.

it looks ok but if you were to route the air intake there, wouldn't water get in? possible hydrolock?

unless someone runs a hose through his vent, then no, rain will not cause it to hydro lock.

Intakes can be exposed to water, so long as they aren't completely drenched... Like if someone routed their intake into their wheel well and went through a huge puddle, they'd have problems. But not if it was just raining.

Still thought you should of kept it pink

^ghey^



i heard pouring a bag of sand in ur intake cleans up the engine..

cheers for the comments

im not sure how the police will react to it tbh lol. i no it will fail its mot over here but its just a case of putting the light back in to pass it lol


oh and the tennis racket belonged to a little boy....... lol

with a rewire and a twin filament bulb and holder you can put the high/main beam into the dipped

Does that really work? Whenever I bought my GT, I opened up the intake box and it was filled with sand. I was wondering how it got in there in the first place. But now I understand

I cant quite depict if this is sarcasm or not? lololol

Very cool

cheers mate
