ste porter made one look oe with the original corsa one..

basically, you are a bit stuck if you keep the original factory intake setup.

Here's the one Mikes on about, worth while seeings as your still running a standard inlet.

On mine with a Dbilas inlet I ran a modified Corsa airbox like the above.

As I moved towards a more 'cleaner' look I replaced this with an ITG filter which I think is the best looking aftermarket filter and looks much better than a K&N etc.

Here's some pictures of both fitted and also the modified Corsa airbox. In the future I'd like to replace the 45 degree hose with a 60 degree one so the filter sits more level/straight and closes to the engine rather that at an angle.

(Part way through modifying it)
