when my filter split and fell off it over fueled and was nearly undriveable. this was a mk3 cupra though.

i'd never recommend driving anything without a filter though!

I wouldnt risk it unless you want birds inside your engine as it will be sucking in all the gunk from your engine

if you mean an induction kit you dont put an air box on with it its either one or the other rather than both.

If you do mean a K&N induction kit then yes, you do remove the airbox.

This is my engine bay

i got it on had to cut part of air box so it would fit over the filter

So it wasn't designed for your car then and you cut away part of your airbox to get it to fit

This sounds like a right botched job! Any air filter that is designed for your car will fit with no problems whatsoever... no cutting involved. Got any pictures?

it sounds like hes put on an induction kit and then tried to put the airbox back on around the induction kit

uploadin pics now

heres some pics please dont laugh lol

as this last pic shows the plastic has melted the edge a bit

Is that the proper filter for your car? Its an inducton kit so the airbox is not meant to the put back on. From what I understand, the airbox forms part of the engine cover on your engine so... your either supposed to leave the engine cover off, or trim it massively so the new filter does not foul it in any way!
