As above! Oh and if people want to laugh at me for wanting one on a 1.0 go somewhere else and do it i just wanted something nice in the bay instead of the massive airbox,But cant fit a cone filter as it will fuck up the AFM Im not looking for any gains tbh i just want it to spruce the bay up abit as above. Cheers Scott

Dont bother,best thing you can do if you want a bit of sound,get a K&n panel filter and drill the underneath of the airbox.

You drill the underneath of the airbox,you want see anything really it would look standard.

and get a panel filter like so.

And they save you a few quid come service time,as you just clean them standard filters you throw away.

And hop on the bandwagon anytime

Its the underside of your airbox. I suggest Pipercrox rather then K&N, but they do the same job anyway.

By the way, DO NOT drill at the top of the airbox. They have to be under the panel filter, and towards the wing of the car.

Small holes give it a raspy sound.

Large holes give it a deep grumble.
