Hi peeps, just wondering about putting a ram pipe on my cold air feed for my K&N. Just don't know to do it or NOT, (thinking it might look a bit CHAV) Don't want a shiney one maybe anodised blue or matt silver???
looking to put it on the lower front grill comes in various sizes but was thing about 75mm dia. Comments welcome.

Yes all are much the same just different colour funnels think it might look a bit TRICK.

I'm prety sure these type of direct air feed pipes requires the passenger fog light to be removed and the intake pipe to be placed there Morris, i may be wrong, but i think thats why they are colour coded.

They supply cable ties to fix to the front, But i want to put on one of those fancy ram cones on the lower grill will have to probably have to cut a hole in it.

Hi Mo,

Think about it for a minute ..... start cutting and modifying original parts, then they eventually have to be replaced. That ends up costing a lot more money. But hey, at the end of the day, it's your car ...
