The car is standard height has a set of 17's on aswell , looking to swop the 17,s tho have them on gumtree need it lower.

its actually not a complete pipe it is the flex pipe you get - the bending type one - just to help supply cooler air cuz since i pt the branch in the engine bay is alot warmer then before - also looking at heat wraping the branch in the future want the car to breath better you know

You have to cut them out. I cut mine out, but then I realized it was a mistake, cause I now have a CAI setup and my filter sits at the bottom now and you can see it through the hole. Will probably have the covers plastic welded in again.

Fit fogs if you cut them out. Might as well.
