Just fit a K&N off of something else, a lot of people use the Cosworth one due to it being very large and looking sweet.

ok u want to get yourself a filter for a Corsa 1.4SPi

then goto a scrappy and find a corsa 1.2/1.4SPi or a cavvy 1.6SPi and get the top box and airpipe off it

bolt it all together and bingo :D

ive got a photo of my setup in my feature

i spraypainted mine a chrome color before fititng it and managed to put the cone directly onto the airbox meaning i dont need a hose

only thing uve gorra watch for is bonnet clearance - mine is VERY close to the bonnet so a larger diameter cone would prolly touch it

its all pish!

My 1.2 carrbed nova had a K&n on it - and when i got the new K&N the mechanic just bolted the old 1.2 straight on. It just sits on top via the old dustbin lid bolts!

They do do K&N's for 1.4's - dunno about Injections mind but I'd be v surprised if they dont - try K&N direct
