took the innards out of the fog lights, took the glass lens off, enlarged the hole in the back, shifted the whole lot forward so its flush with the face of the bumper, then stuffed 3 inch alloy extractor fan ducting in the back.

to the casual observer they look like funky brake ducts, but they actually feed the throttle bodies, i didnt want a bonnet scoop giving the game away see ;) . tests have proven them to keep induction temps to 2-3 degrees above ambient.

All you need now is the ventage that the GSi superboss had instead of fogs, IIRC they were for brake cooling but easily adaptable im sure;)
