Since I have an 180hp TT the driver side opening behind the mesh is completely blocked off. I did an search using different words combo but couldn't find anything on unblocking the mesh in order to install cold air inlets. I do remember some discussion about this but was unable to locate that post. My question is will it do any harm do to unblock this mesh?

TIA Ken

just been holding off because it was blocked. I saw that those with a 225 were running their inlets to this location and actually looks like it will be an easy install. I got some extra tubing from Steve in order to complete this mod.

Thanks again

Not too hard, if you're going behind the fender liner, a little "snipping" is required

Got everything expect the two black plastic pieces and L bracket ...might find local?

go for drilling each one out and then placing grill over a rounded surface and using a sharp chisel, just whack out the remaining bits.

mesh has a soild piece behind it which blocks air flow. I can remove the mesh and see if the I can also removed the backing.

Thanks again
