Fayelady_z Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Hi guys, just a couple of things. I am looking at getting one of them cool air feeds in the front bumper, where would I find a carbon fibre surround bit for it, and how easy is it to cut out and fit etc? Thanks guys Quote
Keyser Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Tarmac Does then - I think in GRP and CF Easy to cut in as it is a plastic bumper - either double sided tape or tiger seal (or simlar) to hold in so easy - the hard part is getting it in exactly the right place and summoning up the courage to cut a hole in your bumper EDIT: some have holes in each corner (mine) so just 4 self tappers Edited May 1, 2014 by Keyser 1 Quote
Ricey Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Most people have used a Dremmel to cut it out I think. Gives better control. Quote
Lexx Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 There's a template somewhere on the forum (who knows where, I'll try and find it) to help you cut the bumper in the correct place. Bumper is easy to cut with a dremel. Quote

WhackyWill Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Are they just for show, or do they help with cooling. ? Quote
Ricey Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Are they just for show, or do they help with cooling. ? If you've got an induction kit and duct the nostril to the head of the induction kit I think they do. Graham did it at one time I think Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Fayelady_z Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 It does look cool, a little different, I just like the idea, does it help performance or is that false info? Quote
14N Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 They're all one piece aren't they? (i.e. no seperate surround). Quote
Fayelady_z Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 They're all one piece aren't they? (i.e. no seperate surround). Ohhh I see, I know a guy at ep racing I might ask him to do it as I dont think its worth risking diy is it, I might cut my whole bumper off by accident ha ha ha Quote

mouthwash Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 If you check out Mighty Car Mods on youtube, I believe someone posted a link around here somewhere, they test CAI kits and found that they give no performance gains on a dyno. It includes using cold air feeds etc etc 1 Quote
Exotic Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Don't do it! I never thought it looked that cool but it's your choice haha Edited May 1, 2014 by Exotic Quote
Rocky4510 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Hi guys, just a couple of things. I am looking at getting one of them cool air feeds in the front bumper, where would I find a carbon fibre surround bit for it, and how easy is it to cut out and fit etc? Thanks guys I brought my one on eBay from Hong Kong - I didn't realise Tarmac sold these it took quite a long time to get delivered and it's slightly warped (see my build thread in soggy for pics). I complained about it and got most of my money refunded, so I've just gotta somehow bend it back into shape My advise would be buy one from Tarmac, I have the template so pop us a pm if you'd like me to send you it, it's quite a easy job!
