Different solution needed if you use an AEM V2 Intake though The bumper vent is currently used for that.

I have a different solution planned but having a flat floor under the car helps.

I got these 51mm air inlets for my pre-facelift front http://www.advantage-motorsport.co.u...sed-black.html
Matching mesh http://www.advantage-motorsport.co.u...esh-black.html
They seem to work good but might be possible with to go a little bigger.

I would definitely have some from you if you're making more.

I've been speaking to WASP about pricing for a possible group buy and the state of play thus far is... Pre facelift and facelift kits available.

Front bumper ducts:

1 set of ducts $140

2-5 sets $125

5-10 duct $115


They now also offer a full brake cooling kit (picture attached)

1 set $410

2-5 sets $390

5-10 sets $370

These prices are all plus shipping and import duty. If there is definite interest in a group buy then i can pursue things further and work out landed costs into the uk for kits or ducts alone.

mate made his own for a fraction of the cost

Some more progress, i decided to install some brake ducting as this will help my brake life on track, i'm hoping it will stop me warping brakes and increase pad life. Since theres no 'off the shelf' kits available i custom made one, i wanted it to look as factory OEM as possible......pics.







Air pump in the way, so i removed that (had to put a resistor in to avoid engine light)
This runs when the car is cold, to help warm up the cat to reach emissions sooner, wont be needing that then...
