Here's my ZS 180

Yeah, lots of air comes in through open side windows, remove the windscreen and see the difference, mgf intakes have scoops iirc to help direct the air.

I would have liked to have the feed at the front and thought about removing the fog light but I decided against it. Otherwise its a case of cutting metal away and didnt want to do that.

The TF has scoops on the vents, the F doesn't.

Big difference between open windows and a small aperture. The F ones are angled slightly, some has modified theirs to scoop more air in as it is not optimal in design.

I do agree that at speed it will not be optimal and I am looking into some sort of small side ram, a tiny Impreza vent would be nice , but there arent really any vents the ideal size or shape. I was thinking about modifying a gauge pod and fibreglassing and blending it in so it only appeared as a slight bulge but will do the job.

I bought the side scoops for my MGF but the (supposedly reputable) online company never delivered, never returned emails and never answered the phone, so I just lost out on them and never bothered trying to buy them again.
