I guess you both are talking about the two motor air filters.
1. Grab hold on each side of the black filter case on top of the motor and pull up. It takes a little muscle, it is only held on by four metal flex clips
2. Remove the two black snokels (left and right).
3. Once removed form the motor, turn the filter box over and you should see 10 or so torx head screws that need to be removed.
4. After all 10 or so are removed, pull the box apart like a PB&J sandwhich.
This whole job is about a 20min from removal to reinstall.
good luck, I hope some of that made sence.

I did it! Just like you said. Thanks for the help because I never would have figured that out. I put in K&N filters. My OEM filters each had maybe a little less than shot glass of dirt sand and leaves in there. That's not normal is it?
Now I am on my way to 13 secs with my filters
Next is my Kleemann ECU remap. Anyone with experience?

Will definitely post some pics once I am done with current mods. Actually, my car looks very much like yours....except for wheels (Carlsson 1/6, 19's). I have reviwed many of your posts and it always seemed very informative, I am currently doing the suspension, opted to go with the Eurospec set up so not to sacrifice the ride quality. Will get some pics and will be talking to you again.
