Default Sapphire Fogs/Surrounds....

I have a white saph, with a cut out bumper with a rouse splitter. And I have no fog lights!!

Was thinking about putting some air ducts in, to give it a mean look

Has anybody done this, or have any pics. As I was thinking about putting some fog surrounds and then the air ducts at the back to either the brakes or modifying the air box.

But I think I can only put a duct to the brake on the passenger side, as the washer bottle sits in the way on the drivers side.

The other thing I thought of doing was a grill, similar to the 500, don't know where to get them from etc.

Let me know your thoughts/Advice.

Thanks, Mikey

You can cut a hole the size of your duct in the back and fit your tubing to the bumper. Or you could use the location to fit an oil or power steering cooler.
Fix mesh behind the fog lamp surround to make it look decent.

I did think about some coolers, but it's not going to be used on track, so didn't see the point.

Probably just cut the hole out like you said, attach a air duct, and find something to finish it off.

I'm sure I have seen something like this in Burton's mag which you can cut down to fit, have also seen carbon fibre ones on a couple of sapph's before not sure were to get them from though but look good.

There's a big point in a PS fluid cooler, these get seriously hot.
I'm taking my fogs out to put some day running lights in there, I never would use it in the fog, but DRL's are there every second to make you more visible, just my thoughts, using RING AURORA btw.

I cut up the fog light surround on the back of my bumper and put a oil cooler behind it on one side and a ducting to the airfilter on the otherside + some mesh and black paint to make it look a bit better... Hope this helps.

Yesssssss! That is exactly what I'm looking for

Have you got any close ups, or pictures of it being made?

Cheers, Mikey
