My new head light cold air feed

[Msphotographic]

Couple weeks ago i managed to break my headlight when messing around with the headlight level adjuster.
I bought a new headlight and had this spare ,my dad and i have been working on this together to make a cold air feed for when im on track ,its not quiet finished yet ,what do you think ??

First attempt was poo so tuck it back to scratch
Ended up with this

First coat of primer

Second coat
Hopefully be getting couple more layers of primper and then be going gloss black

looking good. personally i would have made the hole at the back larger. Good work though

Looks like you've made a good job pal

Its 80mm but has a pipe that connects onto it and aims straight at my filter hopefully be ok

I also think the hole at the back is a bit small.

 

[Tunst]

Nit reckon the 80mm hole will be big enough ??

Filthy

I think its the size of the main part that makes it look small...

Big ole sexy headlight air thingy

Been following this on Instagram, looks promising mate but as said I also thought the rear hole looked a bit small.

That does look a nice job, but is it a big job to make the hole larger? I'd go 100mm as (iirc) that's the size of the big opening on the v6 airbox?

 

[Msphotographic]

Not really a big job id just cut the hole bigger and bound a 100mm pipe on the back to secure the air feed pipe too. Will have a look into it

The white is where i masked the indictor up the whole thing needs a quick polish and then at the weekend il gove it a trail run

 

[iOllieSM]

Haha i see what you mean

I have just been making some also, the plan was to fit a large rectangular duct into it like the cup race cars but it wouldn't fit well so ended up using the old headlight insert as a guide for the air which will do the same job as I have just got a ktr induction kit so should look like this when fitted

I didn't get the edges of the hole as straight as I wanted but every time I tried it looked the same and the hole was getting bigger lol but I think as headlight level it won't be as noticeable or I hope anyway otherwise I with have to make another

 

[Scottie203]

Not sure it will work well mate,i think the air will hit the bumper and rise over the feed as its set back,it's also seems to be at the wrong angle,Ktec run a track car with blancked headlights and there feed is right on the front of the headlight,I'd bring the feed forward so it's the first thing the air hits

 

[Dan.G]

Looks like a good job there! Only thing i might have changed is maybe chamfering it down to the hole rather than the flat area around the holeif you know what i mean? But looks great non the less!

 

[sonny172cup]

Looking good. Hopefully it wont create drag. Do you have a pic of the inside, is it linked to the filter or is there space, something for any water to fall through?

The qauilty of it looks crap imo. Looks as ruth as a pensioners ass. You need to sand it all back down from 300 grit through diff grades down to 1200 grit and skim all those shocking undulations out and spray with high build primer and then sand down from 600 grit back down again repeat till it's smooth as a babys ass then spray final coat on.
