Wow. Ladies put down your handbags! Niall I bet you that there is room for an enclosed filter, have you actually tried one in or not yet?

Have you got any temp logs of with and without the heat shield fitted? I'd be surprised if it's doing nothing.
How about moving your battery to the boot and making an enclosed filter box there? Could you then get a nice big air feed down towards the back of the headlight? Sorry it's ages since I've looked under a 306 bonnet! If Niall didn't like making work for himself he'd have just bought a Subaru...... Yawn

Yeah moving the battery is an option but one id rather avoid purely due to cost.
The air feed isn't a problem. I may get rid of my fogs and use the right one as an air feed but its just fitting a box in somewhere Yeah i have done logs with and without the heat shield and on virtually the same drive, my average IAT was 2 degrees lower but that was when the charger was eating its self so was stupidly high anyway!

My battery has been moved to behind the passenger seat. Slits have been cut into the floor with an angle grinder and the battery is strapped to them. Looks a bit chip shop but ok. Cant imagine it cost much!
set of wires, (from the scrappy from a 3series BMW) and a little time, small junction box, and you gain yourself nearly 6 litres of room where the battery sat..
Why not get some carbon fibre sheeting, not as expensive as you might think and more robust than Fibreglass, i found a suggestion for you ![[Image: ricer-mods-163.jpg]](http://ricercarmods.com/wp-content/uploads/ricer-mods-163.jpg) you can have this to go with your aftermarket exhaust mod ![[Image: post-38050-0-69323100-1368735710.jpg]](http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/uploads/monthly_05_2013/post-38050-0-69323100-1368735710.jpg)
Given the choice between Niall and the sheep. I would choose the sheep!
