I'm trying to work out where I can mount an air filter, but I want somewhere that won't be sucking in too much hot air. I'm not having a bonnet lift, or any vents near the back of the engine bay, so don't really want it up the back corner.

One thing we thought about is using an inline air filter (like Pipercross Maxflow, and there are plenty of EBay cheapy versions - not sure how good they are), or using a standard air box from another car, and mounting it inside the passenger wing, with the inlet pipe running to the grille.

Has anyone done this before? Obviously just a cone filter under the passenger wing wouldn't work because it's too open to road water/dirt.

I wouldn't worry about it, plenty of cold air reaches the back of the engine bay when you're moving. There's enough packaging issues to deal with without over complicating something that isn't needed. You could simply fit a cold air feed pipe similar to the vents if you really wanted to
