   i presume its like all other induction kits. basicly if u look at ur air filter u will see a number of rubber pipes connecting to it, remove these pipes from the filter and then remover the filter and all its pipes from the engine bay (making sure u keep the rubber pipes mentioned earlier attached to the engine) then stick the BMC induction kit in its place and connect the rubber pipes to it, the cold air intake will connect to little holes already in the body as it should fit the same way as the standard air filter

   I might just go with a panel filter then! As I have been told the green enclosed induction kits are not a perfect fit!

   theyre fine as long as you fit them with something that will flex at the slam pannel..

   Will there be much difference though between a green and a panel filter?

   Can anyone recommend a descent panel filter or are they all basically the same?

    The only thing thats puts me off a green enclosed is that apparently you have to drill new holes on the filter, because the holes already on it makes the filter lie on top of the radiator! Also you cannot connect the oil breather pipe to the induction kit without modifying the breather pipe!
