I dimagine that gets a good belting of air from the grill there with all the surrounds. Not to sure about the K04 take off to the DV though. Bit in your face or is that an additional mod.

All the bends look like they have been straightened out a little to improve flow which is good.

i like that but i would cut a hole in that tray and run a duct to the grill on the golf  :smiley:

Shhhh ! im doing that lol my fogs have cracked and to be honest i never use them any way. so air duct here we come, only reason i havnt done it yet is that i need to disable fogs with vag come or the bulb out error comes up :(

it still sucks in plenty of air from the front of the car though (cut out some pointless plastic ontop of crash bar etc)

cheers for thay robin. looks like that could be exatly what im after. At AMD today they had their Seat leon Dunlop sports cars there, they have similar thing but utilising cable ties. No doubt it works but looks a little scruffy

Yeah, most full-on race car owners don't care two figs about how scruffy they look! There are exceptions of course.

This seemed to work OK for me, and I kept my fog lights, I was venting my front discs but you could run the ducting anywhere. I have got the OSIR carbon grilles now which have a vent in them  :happy2:

....Neil, are you running any ducting from your OSIR slot vents? (I've got those carbon panels too)
