Title: Small cover on OEM airbox...
Post by: Boothy on September 13, 2010, 05:26:51 pm

Does anyone have a spare small plastic cover that clips on the top of the front grill mounted airbox that I could purchase for a nominal fee? Its the cover that er, covers the piece of the airbox that joins the front grill to the concertinaed tube.  :happy2:

For some reason mines vanished?

I have noticed a slight loss but nothing huuuuuuuuuuuge. I'm worried about it just pulling in warm air from the engine bay though so its probably have a detrimental effect. Its only the really small cover thing though.

There seems to be a quite a lot of different ones available, all for cheap monies from the Dealer, around £2-3.
