would anyone have any clue where to get this plastic part? or where you to somehow get plastic sheets ( bunnings) and screw on?
My current plan, is to insert a hard plastic and place it in between the under body tray and the filter. Don't even need to screw on for my instance as it would hold itself by the inner wheel arches/filter/underbody tray. The main point is just to prevent any splashing of water from underneath. As long as it prevents water from directly splashing onto the filter, it will be fine as water will leak out by itself. Also, because i don't have fog light, i'm not too worried about water from the front. However, i might need to make a 2 fold plastic as there's also a pretty big hole in between the filter and our gearbox (the hole's used to be where the air resonator pipe goes)Quote:

For your case, i think you just need to make it a 3 fold.......hope what i say makes sense??
All that effort.... Why not just get a icebox instead?
Too much prob with the cu2 icebox. One of them is the rattling noise because the box is made of thin carbon fibreQuote:

I think its really up to individual. Technically, little bit of water wouldn't bother it that much as the CAI filter's oil based (at least my injen is) which will block off some water when being splashed. But its just for a piece of mind. For my method, i don't even think i need to take off the bumper as i should be able to slide it in by some of the underbody tray clipsQuote:
