Can we make Palio drink More COLD air??? - Team-BHP

Hi

I was just thinking how to get more cold air for the 1.2 engine.
At present it breathes through an airbox which opens underneath the front bumper.
I doubt whether this intake system is capable of getting more cold air,at higher speeds.
The idea is to utilize the air that comes through the small front grill opening.By default, every palio wil b having a rubber sheet tat redirects this cold air towards the radiator.
Can we redirect this cold air coming through front gril to the air filter box by using some air collection cone and piping???
Some member of PUG is said to have tried this. But i couldnt get tat thread
Has anybody tried this??
Is it worth trying???

Sree

A stock filter isn't capable of intaking a lot of air, so a filter change would be the best.
