yeah i know, currently working on a enclosure for it with a cold air feed, for now i have put the alloy tubes back on, that photo was just to show the filter really.
thanks for the comments!

F*ck all that, Number 1 on the list should be to lower it, lots! Thats when a car looks a hell of a lot better, rather than a car modded in bits and peices. Will look ace when lowered!

Update:
The car is at the garage getting repaired. on thursday i lost the use of the clutch, think its the release fork snapped inside So I'm without the car for a week. Only the 4th time its gone wrong this year lol.
so far i'v spent more repairing it than modding it or buying it in the first place, over the 1 and a half years or 22000 miles of owning it. Its getting daft. Thinking of fixing it this time, selling all the mods and part exchanging it for something better or at least more reliable.

Seems a shame to sell it after all this work? It's
impressive the amount of time you've
put into it.

But when it's fixed it will be fine again what's the point in s[ending the money to get the clutch fixed to sell it on?
Just keep it!

Ah but i said that last time, and the time before, and the time before and that only takes me back to xmas lol
Nah will be driving it for a bit longer until i find something that i really want and can afford.
Someone else can enjoy the work i'v put into it, i can do it all again (better ) on the next one.
Want to go euro i think, looking at a 1999 model polo. or a 2001 model clio. dunno yet i'll wait and see.

Fair enough. I love the wheels by the way... I might be slightly biased in saying that though as I just got some as well but in chrome black.

will do when i get the car back from garage, pretty sure its the release for snapped on the inside as the garage is running at half the man power its going to take a while.
basically i'm running the scoop to the vent in the cupra splitter the just using ducting to take it up to the filter.
Thats what i WAS going to do. Now i'm putting the standard airbox back on and running the scoop up to that
