I did mine at the weekend too. Its amazing the shite that gets sucked in through the flap, I found small bits of stone, loads of grit & all sorts.

Also a good opportunity to give everything a check over, pas fluid, dipstick oil level etc.

These zymol wheel brushes are good for getting to the butterflies if you don't want to strip the main airbox:

Im working on a deal with ITG right now so hopefully will have a good supply of these filters soon :-D

I thought I read somewhere on the forum a post by Bealo who said to avoid the ITG ones, as they didn't seal properly?

Maybe I missed that post :banghead:

However, I've been using the same ITG filter for around 4 years maybe more without issue. There, I've said it. I'll throttle someone if the next time I fire it up it calves on me!

Bloody hell, good memory on yourself. I do have a short memory and I posted on the thread half a dozens times too!!!

Mine is a good fit though, whether its a revised filter, I don't know but it does have a snug foam beading round the edge and when I removed it last time there was no signs of any debris or such like past the filter. If there had been, I'd have mentioned it.

Update on this.
Fitted my ITG filter today - it fits fine - if anything, it's slightly to big and you have to push it into position, with a slight 'bow'. It fits snugly all round the edges though.

Took it for a blast and all is well!

Took about 30 mins start to finish - practice makes perfect!

My only gripe was I pulled one of the front flippers with my size 11's whilst hovering around the edge of the front of the car.
(As anyone else ever done this - I swear that they are designed to tread on!)

5 mins to reaffix!
