Made up my new CAF using 65mm PVC down pipe. It's behind the LH Wing. Checked fit with guard on - all good, and its about 40mm higher than original.

That's quite a good idea! Any photos / how to?

Common in that place, and few others. Easy to cure
All stock 65mm PVC down pipe parts - 3 x 90º and 2 x 45º. I used short sections of plain pipe for internal joiners. I did have to shorten the two joining sockets at the bottom of the U. The 45º bend goes over the guard support bracket which I had to nibble a piece off. The brown area is where I heated the pipe which I stuffed with rags and put a gentle bend to aline it with the bodywork. The rags help to stop it kinking / wrinkling. The end 45º is possibly optional. You can see why I think a snorkel kit is a natural addition with this. Now have to work out how to support / attach this to the inner wing.Made up my new CAF using 65mm PVC down pipe. It's behind the LH Wing.

i got some bubbles on sill under rear door too, but this is only a paint fall. Few guys report problem in that area - probably some factory fault. When you remove it and clean it's solid clean metal under.
Use some wrench and knock - if you sound a metal - no big deal.
All doors are clean, just make sure that drain holes are clean. Also i filled doors with wax.
Situation under wheel arches was also pretty good just few spots of rust - mainly surface.

...found rust in the back door, at the bottom Used the Dremel to get it away, then rust converter, will paint tomorrow. Bet it comes back soon... Is it common, or maybe just a bad window seal? We do have a lot of road salt in the withers here!
I fitted the flared ram tube but it makes things to wide. If I turn it so it points downward the intake level would be below the original height. A conundrum!
As long as water can't get into the pipe. Can you not leave the 45º pipe off? That will still put the intake above the factory level, without the worry of water dripping into the intake pipe. I would definitely try to fit the trumpet. Or heat and flair the plastic to ease air flow.
