Brilliant! Thanks very much for the explanation and pic.

Hey PB

I attached it to the side wall, with the filter on the inside so as not to be intrusive. It's easy on the offside but the nearside light has an air passage between the headlight wall and the engine bay which makes it very difficult. If I was to do it again I would consider mounting them on the bottom panel. The small hole is nearly invisible when looking through the lamp cover.

Hi, question, do you have a picture of the sintered metal pneumatic silencer through the cover and perhaps a link to what you fitted.
TIA

I'll take some and post them.

That would be cool, do you have a link to the ones you have used. I have the covers off ATM (and have reworked the passenger size cover to get it into a better shape) but, I like the idea of the headlamp area being able to 'vent' as such rather than simply drill holes. TIA. A@

They were these, with the M5 thread:

I tried taking some photos a couple of days ago but it's very hard to even see the vents, so they are not worth posting. It's a small black hole, which might excite Brian Cox, but there's not much to see.

They really work, I had a small amount of condensation last week, but leave the car out in the sun for a few hours and it's all gone.

Thanks, it will not hurt to fit them. The drivers side fitted quite well although I re shaped the passenger side (several bites using the same method with a hot air gun, non contact thermometer and my now hairless hand!



I changed the Indicator bezels at the same time (the edges had been polished back to a gold colour and black is important on a white car!
