What are the circular sections in the black side fog light grilles ?
Do you mean the hole near my drivers side foglight?
If yes, that is my direct air feed into my air box.  :y

I just had a play around one day, wasn't a fan of the standard air intake.
So i just gave my car a direct air feed.
Does keep it a little cooler.

I was just wondering Steve, if because the wheels are all black and so are the tyres that maybe the inner part of the rims would look better silver with the spokes left as they are :-/.

 Just a personal observation but do look OK as is :y.

The wheels aren't black, just a very dark metallic grey.
It's a lovely colour.
I'll have to try and get some better pics up  :y
