Postman delivered this today thanks to Awesome.

fitting was a doddle 5mins, remove the 6 screws holding the airbox lid then remove the 2 screws holding the air intake assembly(tube on the top left of the pic)

once open

side by side new and old filter, very thick for the OEM filter.

hmm fits like a glove

took it out for a spin not much of a diff, its only a panel filter but does feel more responsive by a tad, time will tell.
part no AF-PA-KN-33-2865 £47 delivered, bit steep. but its the name you pay for and always been good filters on my prev cars.

Hi
Nice one
Glad we managed to get it out to you and hopefully in time too
K & N are the market leaders and have been for a while
I dont think they would get that name for nothing
I put a Pipercross one in mine , and I must admit my fuel economy went up and got a tad extra noise
It would mainly be the throttle response that would be better as your getting more air in

thanks Sarah, Ordered on monday arrived wed a.m, so great.
done a good few miles travelling edinburgh to glasgow and then back over to the the east of edinburgh again and there is a better throttle response, no extra noise, def worth it i would say.
