Cheers folks.

In fact I still have my original front bumper (with washer jets) for if/when I want to sell the car.

@ the newspaper comment from Lloyd I may well stick from meshing to prevent anyone sticking things in my hole

Jel - I was going to get one of those Alex intake ducts, but for

Yep - you need some kind of Mikey's grill or something there.

Newspapers are the least of your worries.....

Looks nice though.

So you flatted the washer jets to keep the front looking smooth and then cut a letterbox in it?

Logic ?

Sebring is a bit lighter than Silverstone - more of silver colour than metallic grey.

We don't get it over here though. I've only ever seen pics of it on the US side of the forum.

You have the wrong Mugen intake for that hole (Mugen do 2 models) and the numberplate in that position will seriously impede airflow into the radiator.

eSeM - If you have a look at the second photo you can see my CAI intake. I have the v2 Mugen CAI which has the shorter neck so the hole lines up.

Mugen stopped making the v1 as there was no point in having that longer neck.

Thought i'd seen it quite often on the yank threads.. wonder why its not an option over here unless Honda ( light years ahead with technology) realised that in 2007 we 'd be over run with silver cars in the UK!!

..... which is the *wrong* one.

It is designed to work with a cut airguide.
