My mate stuck his air filter where the o/s headlight is. He also took out the fog light and had some air intake coming from there up to the filter. HE reckens it works fine but I couldnt comment on it 100%
Tom
mine has been relocated just behind the fog light,should work a bit better once iv removed the light though
If you cut out some of the chassis leg then yes, not an easy job though get rid of the A/C! Alternative to this is to relocate behind the O/S headlight, won't get as much cool air but anything is better than the stock inlet track running over the manifold!

what chassis leg?
next to the air con rad there is a small gap.
the gap is filled with the front panel. this is not a structual part of the car at all and you can cut it without causing any problems.
you will need a length of flexible tubing 51 mm in diameter.
a reducer from 51mm to 45mm, a hks air filter, (must be the small one though) make sure its the the 70mm out put one though. you will need to get the necessary reducer for this aswell, i cant remember what it was now.
and it will fit.
i know because i have done this and have ran it fine for 3 months now.
the air filter does get wet when it rains, but its no problem justy means you have cooler denser air
How much bhp u can get when u relocate ur air filter between the bumper and the rad thnx
or you could do what I done here -
