My one on the passenger side was supplied with the K&N cone filter to stop water dripping on it.

Almost right, they both remove air to keep underbonnet temperatures down when stuck in traffic

Those fans are pretty mint... where'd you get them from?

As for the vent plates, I have the one which came with the air filter,but you can get both sides from AS for under £20

Fans were designed and manufactured by me, have never seen any one else with them. I bought the fans from http://uk.rs-online.com/web/ and made the brackets to suit

Have thought about it but they take a while to cut out and smooth and make look good that the cost would be silly. I did sell the my mark 1 version on ebay last year had loads of watchers but they still didn`t make much.
