My mate suggested running a cold air feed from the front bumper vent on the drivers side. I've edited a photo to show where it would go. The other option would be to have one running from a morrette headlight conversion, but then the car will look even less standard and will cost a lot more money!
Any opinions very welcome please

There's loads of room around the air box, plus it's already got a K&N panel filter.
I think a cold air feed would be more for aesthetics than performance. Having a replica LC and to have it look 'tuned'/modified would be pretty cool, but chopping a LC isnt cool!
