Default Air filter above top feed intercooler is there one?

Hi people

I have a 100mm top feed intercooler in my saff and there's a lot of space above it. A friend told me that some people turn the cone filter the other way which makes sense as there now the space and air flow there but has any seen an air filter designed to go in this gap

Cheers si

Seen it done before, especially on MK1&2 Escorts due to space... Didn't Ronnie Amis run it like that on his 3Door? Don't know what size cone you'd need though, without going and measuring it though....?

I see last yr a black 3dr had a carbon fibre air duct made which was central and that went through one of those viper air filters into the turbo, looked well made and well placed together but those filters are crap
