Go to the group buy section, thats how I got mine. Ordered it from Kam_Racing.

You should be able to fit it yourself, you would have to take the engine cover off but I believe it won't fit with the engine cover without some modifications to the cover. The cold air feed should be supplier.

For reference you can re-fit the main part of the engine cover over the BMC.

Okay it does fit then, haha. Sorry for my lack of knowledge. I think it looks better without though.

Be a little different - go for a K and N apollo with a cold air feed under the engine - great noise and the car revs much much better. Should also get about 4-5 bhp more on a good day!!!!

The K&N Apollo is meant to be VERY good! Slightly sheaper than the BMC aswell! The apollo and BMC have usually always appear in the top 3 i'v noticed.

If people want, I can organise another group buy?

BMC also make a non carbon induction system; The DIA kit which is a fair bit cheaper than the CDA and would be the equivalent of the K&N apollo. If you like i can look into exact pricing for one of those as a kit?
