Renault clio 1.2 16v blue cone air filter (help)

[Bradd]

Hi, I am new to the forum so I hope I have posted in the right place. I have just bought a renault clio 1.2 16v and I would like to add a cone air filter. I would just like some help knowing how I would go about doing it, the cheapest way possible, can I keep the existing stock air filter and somehow add the new cone filter along with it, if not then how do I go about connecting up the new cone filter after removing the stock one? thanks, i'll post some pics below.

This is what it currently looks like:

This is the sort of thing I would like to add:

Hi mate, someone might be along to prove me wrong but I don't think you can just add the cone filter to the existing set up. You will need to remove the black air box & get an adapter that slots in its place. The cone filter can then be connected. Look at the k&n 57i filter for the Clio to get the idea! HTH

Ah yes i see thanks, so I need to find an adapter to fit into the place of my existing air box when removed, then connect the cone filter, where does this adapter connect into? is there a connection going from the standard air box that goes into somewhere that I can't see? thanks

Of you remove the air box you will be able to connect the adapter to it quite easily. Then it's just a piece of silicone hose with a jubilee clip attached to that, with the cone filter on the end. I have a K&N 57i on mine. If you need a pic I can get one for you.

Yes that would be very helpful thanks, I would like one of those myself at some point, I think.
