Default Wanted cold air fog cover feed

Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Looking for a trumpet to sit in my fog cover on my bug with prodrive bumper. Will be running a caik through the wing. Any pics of what you guys have done would also be appreciated to get some ideas

Cheers
Martin

Just this mate , got it from ebay I think . Got a spare fog cover from there too , kept the original prodrive one incase I ballsed it up. Put the ducting in first as there isnt alot of choice of where the trumpet will sit.

Brilliant cheers mate, I have an inner wing filter so guess I won't need that much duct anyway. Checked eBay and there's a 76mm trumpet with duct for 13.99 may just get that one.

I had to buy a hole cutter , cost me more that the parts FFS ! I use them in work too , just didnt have the size I needed. Even took it back to the shop as it didnt even mark it but he wouldnt refund. Give me a shout if you need it.

With the spacing issue , if u look at the metalwork that holds the foglight in , with a large hole in , by the time you put the length of the trumpet it gets quite close. Then when the ducting gets attached , if u dont line it up exactly there isnt much room to allow the ducting through the metal hole. I went closer to the right of the fog cover as it is a flatter surface , but it could have been doing with going left a bit to avoid this. (If you look closely there is a sharp bend on the ducting to the left)

I found metal ducting good as u can shape it and it stays there , but mine goes up into bay.

That's great buddy ill defo give you a shout for it. Thinking if my filter sits behind the hole that the fog light goes into then with the trumpet in the cover and a maybe a 3-4" duct should be adequate to get air to the filter.

I bought this, not that you need the ducting.
