These cars had a factory cold air intake, but unfortunately it cannot be used with Euro headlights as it took in air from behind the headlight. The American sealed beams floated and allowed air to flow behind them, but the Euro headlights seal off this area, making it useless.
I capped off the factory cold air intake behind the headlight and instead pointed the air intake duct to take in air from under the front of the hood, so it works in a similar way.
