here's a pic of mine. Thinks its the CDA85-150, used with the plastic reducer and a short silicon coupler. it was a tight fit and had to remove one of the mounts for the old airbox to get it to sit far enough down but its in and doesn't need any fixings to keep it there.

cheers mate, so basically the cold air feed goes on one end then the other goes into the maf??

correct. i had to glue the black plastic reducer on because it kept slipping off and a jubilee clip wouldn't hold it. also due to the fact that the intake side of the filter is so close to the body of the car i cut the flexi hose at an angle to make it fit better.
