Well thinking of taking my passenger side beam light out and replacing it with a cold intake pipe or extending the air filter so that its getting cold air straight to it, as atm the engine bay is getting quite hot.

If anyone has done which im sure a few have, could you post some pics up or me pls, and also if poss of the air filter you have and how you have gone about doing this....

Main beam light missing is an MOT fail. Mine failed on it last time. I've just removed a load of the plastic in the grille, to open it out near the lights like it is in the centre.
