VRP Airbox fitting problem solved!
Following on from this thread....
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...315&highlight=
...I solved this problem...
...by trimming down a silicone reducer - fits perfectly now
The problem wasn't with the airbox design, but the eBay seller of my particular box neglected to tell me it was for an engine with the 80mm throttle body - which mine hasn't
So on went the Python tubes at the same time - resut, is a great looking engine bay, more growl and few more horses - yay!

Great job!! Glad it's sucking nice clean and COOLER air now.
Gotta be running better for ya no??
I kind agree with the guys that perhaps a shot of black paint on her would help hide it a bit, but long as it's working.

The parts shop only had blue or orange, but I'll have a look for a black one now I know it works
And yep, more cool air and touch more grrrrowl - happy car and happy driver!
