It's some eBay purchase from years ago.  Bought it for modding computer cases :)

^^^^^ Not at all mate, the peice that sits at the back of the headlight is held on with three of them split pin things, you need to remove the bumper to get to it because its below the headlight, how would u get to that?

As anyone else fitted this? and what did you do? im sure Rhys has fitted it and he removed the bumper....

I managed it the other day while fitting my mates CAI, you just have to know where that clip is and do it without the aid of your eyes  :wink:

Reckon this would be of any benefit to me considering I've got a K&N? I've left the snorkel and air feed to it so that it gets some air from the front...

Anyone got the part numbers handy?
