W210 air snorkels

Hello to all..
I am going for the VRP package from Vadim with the S/C e55 airbox...I know that I wont be able to use my stock air intake tubes & snorkles...can someone direct me to a post or a link for a good setup showing a custom or modified air intake tubes for our cars? I would love to use the VRP Carbon tubes but I know they wont work...I know I can use the tubes from a W220 S/C car, but I am still stuck with the restriction of the mouths upfront..I would love to improve on that.
Cheers,
Max

Thank you C55, I was looking into a couple of his pictures, I am not sure how he did that ...it looks like it entailed getting rid of the inner headlight all together??

Thank you Lcat, ...I have a W211 08 E350 besides the W210 E55, I wonder if the tubes are the same size as in the W211 E55, mine on that car are this woven material? I am not sure what it is ...I guess I can try these, and see , if they dont fit I will order the ones from the SC E55...
Thanks again.
Max
