If mine had been open and towards the front and bottom of the car I don't think I would have survived Sunday's drive without the risk of hydraulicing my engine. Must have been an inch of standing water on the M6 and I was very pleased mine was located high up.

thats what i was going to say. use a old speaker cover

i need to take a picture of what ive done for my cold air feed to show you all, ive cut a hole in the undertray, the part that comes up slightly vertically in the air stream kind of, and put a ram air feed into that then ducting going right up to under the filter, made quite a big difference on the motorway i have to say, il try get some pics up soon to show you all:D
