172/182 airbox on a 1.2?

[Thomaspaddock]

Is it possible to put a 172/182 airbox on a 1.2 16v?

without bodging it on haha

if not, am I better off getting a normal air box or just getting a cheap filter?
currently my car has no connected airbox and its TOO loud..

Why don't you have an Airbox? The 1.2 has a square inlet where the sport is round so no it won't fit. Just buy one off eBay

At least put a cheap cone filter over the throttle body if you're using it, or even pair of tights ffs!

I have this for sale if it will help you out?

[Thomaspaddock]

Won't fit the throttle body! just go to a scrap yard and pick one up or get a proper one of eBay! It will cost you a lot more than an air filter if something goes into your engine!

Ill get a snap up of my bay for you all to see, ive been told that its the air box but when i had a throttle body warning come on that was nowhere near what i am on about now... hmmmm

You do have an air filter as its built into that black engine/airfilter box. Its what was on most of the later PH2 1.2 clios

Are you saying you have no filter in it though?

 

[Thomaspaddock]

what am i missing thats meant to connect onto that loose piping?

Does this mean i wont need to purchase an air box then?

 

[BLT]

Its just a cold air feed that goes to that hole near the battery. Trying to find a picture on google to show you but failing to find one

Found one!

​No its not essential.
