Default Trumpet size for WRX inserts

Afternoon all

Finally got hold of some WRX fog inserts which i intend to use for intake purposes. I know a few have done this so was wondering what size trumpet is best to get and best place to get them from please? I think they are jdm inserts and the diameter of the hole is about 140mm or there abouts. I've searched and searched the net looking for answers but can't find anything but sugestions for going through the fog cover which i don't want to do.

Thanks for your time, Stu.

Ah yes, sorry for my ignorance in thinking every one knows what car i own, before the site crashed there was a picture of it as my profile pic. That's my excuse anyway,haha.

It's a type UK 03 (blob) STI. Worzel has done it to his, love the look and was hoping it was a relatively straight forward mod once i know what size bezel/trumpet to get. The more popular way seems to be go through the fog light cover but don't fancy that, would definitly not end well if i tried!! Cheers CJ.

Here's a picture of the right hand side fog insert. There`s not much room for error with the trumpet/bezel size as too big and it won`t fit, too small and they will fall through. The only ones I've found that are about the right diameter are these:

Looking for a definitive answer as i don't want to waste money or mess the insert up. As always, thanks for your time.
