   I'm thinking of having an air feed near the fog light down low, but I'm just a bit concerned that if it rains it will suck up water, I try to avoid puddles but it cant always be done.
   
   I have a BMC atm, Should i worry if it rains with the air feed?

   only if you drive through fords.
   
   if you are driving forwards an air feed anywhere at the front of the car will draw in water in the atmosphere if it rains.
   
   unless you drive through puddles which come over your bumper it doesnt matter wherre it goes

   Alec Coates had one, but he had it where his morettes were. He never had any trouble, so can't see why you would.

   Looks awful if you are doing it were the fogs are, custom the front bumper and add circle foglights like junglejim and use one of them as the airfeed.
   
   Still it won't make a difference perfomance wise..

   I would'nt just stick a round tube in, i would make a custom adaptor. I know there would be no gains, just want something other than fogs.
   
   Maybe have some alloy pipes behind the grill
