What i was thinking before i even got it

 

[MattsClio]

Keep it red

 

[howie p]

can this be done on a 172? ive heard that there is stuff in the way....

 

[Winston]

Think you could sand the red off with fine wet and dry to make it silver......could even make it shiney after that with metal polish.

Black or silver

 

[Baby D]

would look nice silver but reds more eye catching i reckon

 

[Remedi]

Satin Black.

Keep it stealth.

 

[telford_mike]

Keep it red Mark, make a statement

The man speaks the truth, subtle is the way...

 

[clio__chris]

keep it red imo

 

[The Big Yin]

BLACK will look nice and subtle but cupp blue as a second choice

 

[clio_rt_1.4]

IMO black, or blue

 

[connor]

Red!

 

[jon_r]

Go buy a Carbon on from Revire and do it properly.

Yes it can be done on a 172 non cheap version.

 

[badinvincible]

Good point, carbon fibre.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

NO WAY blue, itll look crap cos I doubt itll match. Silver looks ok on Cupcakes and so does the red IMO. Id go black though.

 

[TheCake]

Connect A-B ... insert joke here

What piping you using Marky boy?

 

[Little Newms]

Erm im using the green filter stuff mate........

 

[Little Newms]

Being replaced by Carbon one

 

[ViolentJ]

black.

looks like you had a red nose on the car and it slipped!

 

[BigChris]

black

 

[rcp]

i think it looks pretty good as it is

 

[nickg123]

Cant you put it behind the Grille/Mesh?? (obviously youll need a new piece of Grille now youve hacked up the old one) hehe

If not id paint it Black so its as discreet as possible!

 

[ryan22nd]

silver

 

[cliotuRS]

Black or Carbon so its discreet.

just wake up and smell the coffee have you heard of mickey night ? "shall we put a potatoe or banana in there kev" not even mickey night could just be young kids pratting while your @ work come back to a blocked intake. IMO Keep it standard looking then insurance may not have to be a problem also.

BTW how does a system like cope with high water levels on the roads i.e flooding as i have driven in waters upto the 2.016V badge on the 172 fine (15/25mm lowered at the time) would an intake system like that suck water into the engine or just not get any air into the engine hence be stuck in the middle of a flooding road no escape ! i think this is relavent as im in yorkshire and flooding is frequent as it is around the UK more so every year think about it. what about sucking up stones, leaves, bugs etc.. presumably the standard intake pokes out of the wheel arch to give it protection against this sort of thing ???

306 GTI-6s are often going bang when fitted with aftermarket induction kits as they sit so low down - as soon as they take in water, youre talking a good few £££/£s for a rebuild!

On the Clio the filter itself still sits quite high so it may be ok - i doubt it would suck water up that far, but the 306 its the physical filter itself thats really low down - thats the problem with them!

good point. but its a bit of a risk isnt it just for 4-5hp when combined with exhaust and remap (gains from actual induction not zorst and remap gains). my cars 30mm lower but its shortened shocks aswell i wouldnt want to risk it TBH.

 

[nickg123]

Well i dont really know how these Viper kits work - they may be protected from Water but i cant really see how.......

Just dont drive through any Fords and it should be ok!

 

[cliotuRS]

Couldnt it be placed next to the light on the left hand side ? sure air wouldnt be as cool 30cm higher but surley the advantage of shorter pipe and a almost straight pipe would be better ?

tried that mate and it was crap.... this is so much better! Using more fuel aswell so its a good sign that its working properly, as for flodding im def not going through any fords etc.... besides it will sit lower soon anyways when the coilovers are on the car.

As for sticking it behind the grill it wouldnt stay in place....

Cheers for the coments
