Thats the badger! Its quite a handy tool to have.  you will need it to bore a bigger hole in the side of your airbox, and you might as well smooth the inside whilst your there! oh and underneath your filter there is a sort of funneling pipe that you need to remove, it sits on a clip.  Rip it out and then smooth of the bracket.

Sounds like its got alot more balls now

^^^^^ 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....

Forgot about that!  I had the wheel arch liner off because I had just removed the VIS, so got at the bottom clip from the other side.

ps  Good way to get those clips out, incidentally, is to push through the back of them with a smallish torx bit, I found!!  :afro:
