Lyndsey731:
I went for the Southdown, I prefer the way it disappears straight into the wing.

Steven:
How easy are snorkels to fit. How did you lot find them when doing them? Got any quides you have in your gallerys ?  :D  (Would like to know about safari, mantec and south down please)

Jake:
I've fitted 2 Safari's now
The instructions in the box are very clear and easy to follow
My only tip for the job is take your time.
Dont expect to have it fitted in an hour
I took 3 hours to do the first one on my V8, rushing it.
When i did the one on my Tdi i took 7 hours at a slow pace
Mainly because i wanted it to be much neater and 100% water tight.
I brought 2 hole cutters for for my 300 Tdi fit
1 large one for the wing and inner wing and a smaller one for the air box hole (sizes were printed in the instructions)

You have to move the air box inwards to accomadate the new pipe work on a 300 (all parts supplied and easy to do)

You can see from this picture that the air intake is now on the side instead of the front, which has a blanking plate fitted (supplied)

The Safari also comes with a template for the wing cut and hole placement.
I found it to be a simple job, just take your time and do it right  :wink:

Steven:
Thanks for that jake, seems simple then! I think we'll go with the safari because of the looks  8) and also sounds easy to fit. And I'm pretty sure the safari is the cheapest (right?).

Steve ray:
Got to say I come out on the side of the Safari's - look good, high impact resistance and to be fair; the passenger side door mirror is a good "early warning device" if you are about to clout the left-hand wing on the scenery. :twisted:

Take your time, follow the instructions and it'll look well smart.

PS - make sure you get the right one, because they are slightly different depending on if your vehicle has air con or not.
