Picked up my Carbonio kit from Jim/Awsome at GTI International Sunday. Fitted it last night within 45 minutes. No need to remove the headlamp, or the inner wing panel. I just moved all the cabling well out of the way and the filter slipped down inside. Easy to fit with no problems. Have to say that it sounds fantastic!! Whether or not there is a performance gain is another thing !!!

As for other peoples comments on the forum here, "Luke... I am your Father....." is the right comments to make !!

Worst thing on the kit is the so called 'bracket' that hold the crabon pipe to the inner wing panel. I'm going to make a new one just so it looks a little better.

Anybody in the Essex or surrounding area who wants to buy one and wants a hand fitting it then just ask...

What`s the going rate on one of these btw?

Normal price is

What type of filter is on the end - dry or oiled?

Steve

Looks like KN (oiled)

Very very slightly oiled, bascially so the filter is not 'dry' . So little oil that you could hardly feel it when handling the filter.

I thought you had to remove the inner wing?

It can be done with battery and light in place, even with xenons, although you have to alter a few bits.

Taking the battery out makes it an easy job. But as Colin says it can be done with everything in place.

I took the battery out, but managed to get it in without completely removing the inner arch.

Great bit of kit too

so you don't need to remove the inner arch to get air flow to the filter?

Not exactly...IIRC Paul removed the lower access vent and fed the pipe up...I've since left that access panel out but the front vent is sealed...no breating problems yet and no water issues...might change if the bumper gets a clout *wink*
