hey Vee you would have to make a Hole and run it to the Engine Bay but you could use that to get air in there.

What he means is that the air that comes in there doesnt 'flow' to the engine bay. So inside the engine bay you would have to remove some metal to let the air get in(top left and top right hand corners in engine bay). I am just not sure wether this will be any problems with fumes getting into the car when driving slow in traffic etc :confused: I would think so....

And yes you need to cut the body to get the air into the engine also you need to remove foam stuff that seals the passage.
