   Go by the part number, it'll say B35/00. B27/00, B17/00 etc on your icv.

   ive tried findin one that will match but the ones that aint genuine have different part numbers or go by differnt ones. ive had a look on the premium member articles and the part number on there for icv is the same as vts ones for sale. just wondered if anyone has used a vts one in a vtr.

    its on the right side of the inlet on mine nearest the airbox, if it looks the same though it should fit, that one I got says its for a vts but still fits my car and looks exactly the same as my old one. Maybe they are just saying it won't fit because they are going on part numbers
