How about fitting something like this instead?
A little extra cold air is always good :wink:

Would cover up the hole nicely and look like it was totally intentional.

Might as well take the headlights out and put some in there too.
Christ that reminds me! I was on site last year and there was an Evo in the car park, had what looked like an exhaust coming out just behind the front wheel arch. I presume it was an exhaust cause there was a black smoke trail up the side of the front panel and along the door a bit! Anyone seen this before? Seems a bit mad if you ask me!

Oh, you could alwaya fill those holes by fixing something behind them and filling with a plastic resin I presume could you?

Yea its called a screamer pipe, often used on cars running huge power,
when the rpm reaches a pre determined rev a valve in the exhaust system opens, so it doesnt have to travel to the back of the car to exit and go through muffler etc, hence called a SCREAMER pipe. Seen this in TOTB a few years ago,

And yes I would think a cold air feed would look awesome

Ah, so it sort of like an external dump valve but for the exhaust instead of the turbo. Made a sh1t of his white paint though!

do you know what diameter the cold air intakes are cos the holes are fairly close to the original spots so i only really have 50mm to play with
