Default Twin headlamp air intakes.........

Well i wanted some mesh vents for me twin headlamps, but i cudnt find them anywhere.

So a trip to BQ yesterday and i found these 150mm ducting vents.

So i chopped the middle parts out and painted em chrome




bought some, mesh...........




painted em grey because the chrome came off dead easy






So job done, just need to find where i am going to put the indictors before fitting these. All in it cost 17 quid and the only thing i need to buy now is the actual ducting pipe at 9 quid, and put it driectly to the air filter to release a few more horses.

what ya think??

exactly what happened to me. Thats why in the end i put the indicator bulbs in the second light recess.

Wasnt sure on how to get around it. Even though i still used the side wiring etc and holders i was still getting the flasher going too quick

Reckon i cud extend the wires from the side ones, thus running 2 lots of one set of wires?
