Hi all
does anyone know where I can get one of those anodised cold air feeds that replace the headlight on an E30?
i am not sure if they are from Dave F but I have seen a few of them around.
its to help with cooling into the induction kit area as I have the s50 in my e30.
any pointers or links would be great.
thanks, Nick

I wouldn't bother personally.. Just cut the grill slats etc like I'd mentioned.
If you want a feed, take it from behind the bumper..

So where does all the cold air rushing through that huge mesh covered intake under the front bumper go?

It really isn't worth removing a headlight. I have an intake temp sensor & gauge on my track car (which has all it's headlights) and intake temps are not a problem despite the car being turbocharged with the exhaust and turbo much closer to the air filter compared to the S50.
