A short/mini screw driver would be handy too..
its a bit fiddly as the filter has to be prised out a little as it pulls upwards, but relatively easy for a novice like me!

Let us know if you see any improvement with that air filter Andy,ive been thinking of buying one myself :)


Sily question but will these be class as a "mod" to insurance companies ? and you have to inform them youve fitted it ?
