MK2 intake mod.
The Mk2 intake mod is easy to do for those who don't want to start running ducting and one of the reasons for it was to avoid the engine ingesting spray.
Even with the factory deflector modification fitted this still happens due to the depression at the opening.
Since air still flows into the engine compartment through the original aperture under the slam panel, its only when stationary or moving very slowly that warmer air will be drawn in, which hardly matters at these speeds.
Ducting may be better, though where's the proof? But the intake must be located where spray cannot be sucked in.
