Default cold air feed on st24

hi all. i have a mondeo ST24 that has cone air filter fitted. it came with the car.
sounds good but its sucking up so much hot air from engine bay its pointless. i am looking to buy a sealed induction kit with a cold air feed wich i think will realy help against the high temps you get under the bonnet of the ST24.
problem i have is i cant seem to find a decent place to run the cold air feed from the front of the car anywhere.
anybody got any ideas where to put cold air feed on ST24?

The original airbox would have had a cold feed, can you not adapt and use that ?, if all else fails then just run a pipe to a lower point down the engine bay so it gets draughted air.

Your only option then is to make something up with a pipe, and a scoop to catch the air from a bumper slot etc, maybe even removing a fog light and putting pipe in there, tbh you'd be hard pushed to notice a difference on n/a anyway.

cheers for advice but i no all this done plenty before. iv noticed a good diferance in the ones iv done. front mounted cold air feed made a big diferance on my v6 calibra and on my volvo 850 T5-R.
and the st24 is known for a very hot engine bay so trying to avoid heat soak as its very noticable in this heat we are having.
dont realy want to put a vent on my bonnet
what i wanted to no is does anybody on here have an st24 with a cold air feed atached and if so where did they run there cold air feed as there dont seem to be room anywhere. and i have seen a few st24s with cold air intakes in the grills. just wondered if there was a place that most people used that is tried and tested on st24
