    rather than getting a cold air feed i was wondering if it would be better to move the whole filter to the front of the car.
    has anybody managed to do this? and what would i need?
    already got a brether on the rocker cover

    no. its an open filter.

    its swallowing alot of warm air so wanted to do something with it.

    surely you'd be looking at piping which is used on a BMC air filter
