Where in Edin are you? I did mine a couple of months back. Not difficult to do. Dezzys instructions along with the supplied instructions make it straight forward.

it's really easy man, the hardest bit for me was getting the existing air box off the car - mine just didn't want to budge and i ended up fixing it with a hammer :shock:

think all in it took me about an hour

Excellent :)
I'm in Clerwood just around from Queen Margaret College/Uni..
I think i may give it a go myself then - the one on the bmw was pretty easy just i dont want to jump in there and get stuck half way!!
Looks fairly simple apart from the rusty bolt holding it in place :?

But will see what i can do :thumbsup

:cheers

Ignore Dezzy's guide it's for a 111R. Just use the instructions that come with it as they're pretty good.

The plastic 'scoop' you fit at the intake is kinda brittle and can be a wee bit fiddly to position - if you horse it about it breaks easily at the bolt hole :oops:
Otherwise child's play :)

Ditto :oops: but nothing a dob of glue, an odd bit of plastic and a couple of small bolts can't sort. :wink:

Really busy at work just now otherwise would have offered to assist but if you hit a problem let me know and I'll see if I can pop round, you're not far away.
