What I'm hearing is that there might be another another viable solution.  (and might save you guys in the UK some money in insurance)

Drilling (at least) 3 1" holes in the lower part of the factory filter box (on the far side) with a drop in K&N filter leading to a big bore intake tube (like one from ABD)

Whatcha think?

Im happy with my K&N 57i

I dont reckon theres any increase in performance from a drilled airbox ... just alot of noise.

'iball' and Overseer - I've done about 250miles since its been on and I'm still really happy with it.

It doesnt give you a massive power boost at all, but I've found it really helps the car to rev very freely and smoother through the rev range. I'm only talking from a 16v point of view BTW.

The noise isnt intrusive at all when youre driving around 'normaly' you actually dont really notice it. Its only when you want to have a bit of fun you can get it to roar, its enough to put a smile on your face  ;D

I'll put some pics up if you want fellas?

None of the whole car - I washed it, it pissed down, it pissed me off - gutted.

TSR Did my 8valve

2.1l 8V fuel injected complete engine (1.8l exchange) - Silverstone
This is the 'BIG ONE' the ultimate 4 cylinder package. 2.1 ltr of fully balanced race technology engine fitted with our super special Pack 'C' head and TSR 103 or 203 cam.  With massive mid-range torque and 170bhp this engine gives standard 3rd gear responses in 4th gear.! The 8 valve enthusiasts dream.

You can get it going lot of work though :)
