    How do you clean behind the front bumper air intakes on a f430? I have some dead bugs in there I really want to get out. There's also some stuff behind the rear air intakes (by the back tires). Is it easy to get behind these to clean?

    On the 360 I simply tape a length of small diameter flexible hose to the hoover nozzle and suck/draw it out; depending on if it'll fit down the tube or not. Easy job.

    +1, just use a shop vac with small extension and you are good.

    Drivers side - intake box under the air filters.

    Passenger side - oil cooler but not sure if it goes out the bottom or into the engine compartment
