There are 2 holes and there should be 2 cold air feeds . One down to the wheel arch and the acoustic valve , the other is shorter and just runs towards the passenger side light in the engine bay .

as above, one goes downbehind the bumper/wheel arch, and the other kinda comes forward and connects to a 'hole' in a bit of metal. very techy explanation there.

but yes, there should be 2 pipes

what do you mean where it comes from?
they both go towards the headlight area.

ok, as you look into the engine bay, on the right hand side of the airbox there are 2 holes which should have pipes.the one nearest you goes to the right, and down behind the headlight, down to some air vents behind the bumper/arch liner. The other one which is furthest away from you comes forward, and connects to a plate with a huge hole in it so it sucks the air that comes in from the front grill next to the haedlamp.
