i got a cold air pipe from max power the other day and want to use it to feed more cold air to my k & n as i dont feel the standard one does feed enough to it. i couldnt find anywhere to place the pipe though on the standard facelift bumper. the radiator sems to be in the way unless i squeezae the pipe and warp it. any suggestions with pics if possible.

I have mine on a pre 97bumper where the badge was.... the radiator is not in the way and does not effect the air temp too much!
Just unclip the plastic guard (found under the standard air feed from top of radiator to bottom!) and squeeze it down the side to ya air filter?
Can send ya a pick if ya want mate!

Had a few different opinions on mine but majority seem to like it so far should look less obvious when everything colour coded
