Just fitted mine, I love it A couple of questions though.
Some of the electrical cables originally covered by the standard air box are now on show and dont really seem protected, will they be ok?

Can you take the standard air box mounting points out? If so, how?
I was going to post a picture along with the questions but I didn't realise how filthy my engine bay was so I didn't bother If anyone has a picture I'd appreciate it

Which box you talking about?

I took everything off mine, even. The resonator box underneath.

Try and fit one of the cold air feeds if you can also will help in the summer months

Not worried about the HT leads, there are some other cables near the front of the rocker box that seen exposed
Dal, I took both the standard air box and resonator box out but around the rocker box there are 4 (or is it 3, I cant remember) mini 'poles' that hold the air box in place. I want to get rid of them. Yeah, I need to get come cold air feeds

Sure it'll be fine mate everyone else has left them and not had any problems
Not sure about the mounts- how come you want to remove them?

Talking of HT leads sorry to hi jack but just got some magnecor leads
Is there a set way to fit them? dont want to balls up the car
seems like a simple job but dont want to do anything stupid!

Just ordered mine today

Have you found it makes much of a difference?

I'd quite like to get the cold air feeds fed through my lower gril and colour coded PB!

Yeah I have tbh, enough to justify getting one. The change is nothing monumental but there is a nice roar at 3k rpm when you boot it and the car is slightly more responsive. Just give it 50 or so miles so the ecu can work out whats going on
