The NizPro style intercoolers "hide" it the best as they are in the engine bay. View from the front of the car - intercooler? what intercooler? Open the bonnet... oh.. there it is!

Perfect that has same kit as mine at the front too. I guess i cant run a standard Air Box with this can i? Where did you get your one from? Nizpro dont do them anymore, just spoke to them then.

Airbox will largely depend on where your pipes go. I purchased mine 2nd hand about 5 years ago. Not sure where you'd get these brand new if NizPro don't do them anymore.

Another way to hide a fmic, is to get a gk tech kit, which sits nicely behind the bar and doesn't hang, and spray the inercooler itself matt black and it's literally undetectable.
