I am waiting to fit my recently aquired mantzel and since I dont like to do anything I can't undo, what model Opel/Vaux cars share the same airbox, so I can get one to de-restrict etc.

why would you go through the effort of cutting another cars air filter to fit your airbox?

ebay win of 99p free p+p and looked like it fitted. (so the lass won it for me when i was out)
only needed to cut an inch off and seal that end and needed a filter at that time.
it was listed as 'subaru vauxhall ford - filter'
it filters air dont it

if you cut it, its not going to seal 100% and bits will come off over a period of time and will go into the engine.
you'll have no oil in your engine once all the paper goes in there and soaks it up
joke btw
