thanks for the reply guys...in response

so basically i need to run the ducting from the end of the cone filter outwards? may i ask outwards where exactly, the engine bay isn't huge on the c max lol...and there aren't any places i could place it so the end of the ducting is on the outside of the car if that makes sense...

with regard to remapping i don't really have £300 to spare on a remap, although i hear they're good...instead i've been a cheap skate and bought a tuning box, will see what that does lol...am also planning on tinting rear lights
