Ethos 0 Posted January 26, 2008 When "tickering" with the 205 today I noticed how restrictive the air intake is. It goes to the front grill but is completely covered. So.... I did this; Should make a difference to how much get gets chuffed up there and you can't really tell it's been done. About to take it out for a little drive now.... (Yes I was bored this morning ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupertfinch 6 Posted January 26, 2008 Excellent pun! Steve, that is a lovely engine bay. Good work! Is that a polished fuel rail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ethos 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Damn, how could I have missed that Steve!! Are you free at the moment, I can pop the alternators down quickly if so? (I've had them waaaay too long).

returnofjim 0 Posted January 26, 2008 good effort, could never understand why pug put a cold air feed to airbox then blocked it with the grill same goes for the grill under the bumper thats usually blocked with a big plastic flap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainK 11 Posted January 31, 2008 I went the easy way and just removed that whole plastic strip at the front that blocks the air intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
