It is possible to fit a snorkel anywhere you want as long as you have enough flexiy pipe so yes you can fit on top pf the wing

Excellent would a standard snorkel be ok for that? As long as I get a longer pipe?

You can customise anything to suit your need
The sixty quid one is strong and you can redirect the pipe from the top bit with a bit of customising to suit your needs, the top piece is about forty quid bought separate so win win

I think I'll get the one you recommended thanks for that! As someone has suggested cut a hole in the vent on top of the wing and direct the pipe through there
This should give you an idea of the way the pipe goes on that one, should be quite easy to redirect it forward and down the vent

Just you don't need to fit the hard plastic piece that goes along the wing top.

Just the ticket! Hopefully that's what I'll end up with!

Mine is a fully aluminium unit that I have brought out the top of the wing welded to a proper ally chequer plate bracket. So everything above the wing is welded and totally air tight. Full silicone hoses to turbo so is 100% air tight and then finished of with a proper snorkel filter on the top, like a k&n but with a cone cover around it to stop the dirt blocking it.
Piccies please
Make it easier for people in the future to know what I've been rambling on about.

This is mine. Similar to the one you said about, injust decided to go bit more industrial. Its on the opposite side to what the 300tdi supposed to be but that's because its mated with the lt77 box, so engine is sat further back not allowing much room for the intake pipe.
That's why I made this. It needed to go out the heater vent to avoid the hoses kinking. So redirect the heater vent and made this, all the ally is welded completely on the top. Has the comp filter on the top so more room under bonnet and just relocated washer bottle to other side. May not be everyone's taste but I'm really happy with it and its completely water tight.
O ignore cable ties on heater, that's a temporary bodge until I get new heater cables lol
