   Keep the feed as straight as possible with as few bends!

   You can put them anywhere mate.
   
   The grill
   Fog light hole
   Wheel arch
   In bumper, other than foglight.
   Scoop in bonnet
   Standard inlet

   This is actually a bad thing to do as it increases turbulence in the engine. Duct in duct out is the way it should be done.

   feed the cold air just straight, but need to cut some
   hole there.
   
   i'm lift my bonnet too, but that does'nt help to cold
   air feed, maybe a little help to cool my alloy intake
   manifold? also remove the rubber that will let the
   bay watering at heavy raining day.

    yea i just dont want to put it in the standard place as the hole is tiny and prob no point at all fitting it there, the rad grille is the best place but i cant get round it.....
