how is the bracket supporting is it tied to the filter or just resting on it?

Its one of these mate, so the curved end hooks over the clamp that tightens the filter to the MAF. Its nice and tight! The other end was very easy to bend too.

Latest bits...

LED number plate lights and a "down'n'out" sticker

What are your thoughts on the sticker? Where should I stick it or should I not bother as I'm not running coilovers, just springs?

Day-time pictures don't really do them justice... but the light is great!

I'd say save the sticker until you really are 'down n out'

That's what I was thinking... I bought it to see how it might look but maybe coilovers first!

I really like the sticker...I'd have one on mine if I was 'out'

Spacers are a great mod! They make a big difference to how it looks and a little to the handling too.

I need to treat my car to something soon...I've been neglecting it recently and it's fought back by throwing a load of grease out of a CV boot! A new CV boot will be it's first present

Bugger! That's a right pain to clean up too.. Maybe get some spacers as a treat for it. I could send you the sticker then...

Just keep your eye on number plate lights dude. Mine lasted a couple weeks. Well, I checked after a couple weeks and BOTH had blown. So they might've only lasted a day.

I have heard that! I have kept the old bulbs so if they are crap, I can swap them over. Why are they so bad, just cheap and awful?

Mine weren't the same bulbs as yours.....so it's not that. But I think they're a bit exposed down there. I'm not sure! Could be heat, wet, vibrations - dunno but they never seem to last!
