    Air intakes

    Hi all,
    i'm interesting in running a cheap-ish cold air intake on the mk1 in an attempt to gain a "smoother running" engine. I've thought about running some plastic piping down into the bottom corner of the front grille or else lower wheel well.

    Would love to see some pictures of what anyone has had a go at.

    cheers,
    mike
