   anyone? is it just a matter of unclipping the k+n from the throttle body by the jubilee clip and then reaffixing the original airbox back on to the throttle body?

   what i mean is do you just undo the jubilee clip on the throttle body thats hold the k+n on at the moment and then clip the proper airbox back on to the throttle body using a new jubilee clip?

    Use the one that was holding the k&n on.
    
    If it doesnt fit, buy a pack of 5 or 6 cus they always com in handy.
    
    You may need a jubby to hold the pipe onto the air box as well mate
    
    Basically, when you get the airbox in the engine bay you'll see how it all goes, it will all lign up and sit correctly.
    
    I'd advise you to stick a k&n panel filter in the standard air box mate
