Complete amateur fits air filter kit...

Well I've done it! Took about half an hour I suppose.

I think its slightly more tricky than indicated in this thread so far, and also more nervewracking if, like me, a £14000 car is VERY expensive!

It does sound fantastic though, and is well worth the time/effort involved, no doubt at all.

Its crucial to separate the existing air filter box from its rubber tube so that you can then get at the awkardly positioned clip holding on the bottom of the rubber tube to the "engine".

The task of removing the filter box from its air tube was tricky too... eventually got it.
