Looks good, but when it rains, the water will drop straight onto the filter, I only noticed because I was going to place mine there and then noticed when I opened the bonnet how much water fell exactly where the filter would be same as yours (now, I dont know if it was just because I lifted the bonnet or not but I thought sod that)

surely it would just be because you opened the bonet , cant see water getting in there as the electrics for the headlights have been sound

I dont know, nothing seals the edge of the bonnet to the wing, so would presume it would happen anyway, and the headlights and associated wiring are surrounded in plastic

had mine on in aberdeen for a week which basically means its seen the equivalent to 6 months rain in england and its coping fine , not found any water under the bonet and the pipe is dead cold after a reasonable run so dont think its suffering from heat soak either.

Had mine there for 2 years ,with no problems.

So begs the question does all this cost actually do much for performance over a standard box and decent panel filter

Yeah it kick the airboxes arse.  I put my smooth airbox in a skip and the k&n panel filter.  Well my dad did .  I dont mind as i would of never gone back.  It does make a world of a difference in sound ,good dump valve noise and better performance .I can fell its better. I have to try every kind of mod tell i find one thats better. Like spark plugs ,you cant beat ngk platinum PFR6Q .I tryed nology ,denso and the £100 pluse plugs ,they where a fail big time.
