Default How to fit a panel filter :-0

Im gonna get a new panel filter, i can see a black rectangular thing just below the windscreen which i thought was the intercooler? I take it i take the top off this and stick the panel filter in and then put the top back on? The reason for asking is because i have taken a look at it and cannot see any screw to undo to open it to allow me to put the new filter in :-)

Just pop the catches that hold the air box top down, take the old one out and pop the new one in.

That thing just below the windscreen is the intercooler. The air box is the black box behind the drivers side headlight. I think there are about 3 spring clips around the sides of it. Just unclip those and take the top off and you'll see the air filter nestling neatly inside.

I think you'd probably struggle trying to squeeze an air filter in there
