on closer inspection it seems the standard air feed on the 19, from the bumper to the air box..has split in a number of places...surely this isnt helping performance?!

question is shall i replace it with the standard one...or some of the ducting you can get from motor factors?

how much would one be from reno?

pipes silly money from renault.

ph2 gay air feed then, they take it from under the passenger headlight. the early ph2's and all ph1's have the superior air feed on the rad surround.

Get a ph1 rad surround.

no pics of it, as ou look at the front of the car the black plastic rad surround, about halfway up on the gearbox side the air feed goes from there to the airbox.
