Dont bother drilling the box, simply cut a circular hole for a large diameter feed to fit into it.

it wont be as loud as the bfo no. people say you get better performance from a panel & drilled airbox.
the bfo does look and sound good though!

Like I said, dont bother drilling the airbox as you are back to the same scenario of the engine sucking in warm air. Cut out a large circular hole bigger than the present air feed to it and silcone/hot glue gun a large diameter pipe.

i was thinkin about this yesterday, at the minute i have a large hole in the front of my airbox, but dont have a cold air feed as i dont need on, enough cold air circulates in behind the light
but if you get a cold air duct and hot glue gun it in, then point end of the cold air duct either outside thru the grille or down the front wheel arch to the bottom of the splitter, then its all well & good on DRY days. but on WET days your just sucking up spray from the car in front, which aint good at all

Ive got a load of Pipercross universal filters..
(Cone filters as on induction kits)
You could make your own induction using one of them..
£25 posted to you.
What the honda boys do is to use a cold air intake.. basically an extended induction kit, - the cone actually fits behind the bumper- hence loads of cold air.
Im sure something like this could be done on a corsa.
