Ahh right I follow. There's no risk of that, it's steel reinforced

Got version 1 in. Not 100% happy with it, doesn't open out as much as it like but it does get the airflow past the lump of metal behine the fog opening in picture 1.

It looks better than having the opening, but not 100% on it yet. V2 to follow

I've adjusted it, looks much better now

Just need to take off the mount on the left and side then I'm done

Great work Alex.

If we didn't have those indicator lights there then you could have made an Air duct like this:

Cheers nitin

I was thinking that actually, stupid indicators!

Could retrorfit some round indicators into the bumper above but I think it'll run the risk of looking gash!

I had a thought, if you could wire your indicators to the headlights (Side/dipped lights)? Then you can take out the indicator things off the car and make the air duct there? Just a thought.

Sounds like it could be a messy one. Wouldn't it need the orange reflecty stuff in the headlight too?

^^ See how they put the yellow tint in the headlights? You can put the indicators there?

Ah ok, Perhaps it would work on some of those ebay headlight where the setup is different. Might be a bit too much work for a slightly bigger CAI mind

On a different topic, hoping to get some CF skinning done on the weekend

hack the bumper a bit and extend the tube a bit and your onto a winner. i might even think about taking out the fog light if you can make it look slick enough
