Using a Junoir hacksaw remove both mounting brackets from the top of the Vectra C inlet pipe (9177099).
- Unbolt one of the jubilee clips holding the air pipe and un-clip all the clips holding the Airbox together.

Then remove the sensor at the back of the Airbox. This allows you to tilt the top of the airbox up, out of the way.
Then by pulling back the the lower half of the air box it comes away from its mountings. Remove from car.
- Remove both torx screws and unclip the clips holding in your standard inlet pipe
- Using a flat bladed screw driver a prised the mounting points of the original inlet pipe out from under the metal cross piece. (can be a bit fiddly)
- Offer up the Vectra C pipe unto the correct position. Then slide it over towards your battery.
- Fit the Adaptor tubing (9177104) to the pipe and twist it (just under 90degs) towards yourself the the "lug" is nearer the front of the car.
- Refit the lower half of your Air Box. Locating the Inlet pipe the the Inlet hole. This is very fiddly but with patience it will fit!

IT'S A TIGHT FIT.
- Holding the pipe in the correct position. Through the existing hole in the cross piece, drill a small hole through the side wall of the pipe and fit a self tapping screw. Then repeat for the other small hole.

- Check to see if the pipe to Airbox connection is "secure"
- Refit the top of your Airbox.
Stand back and admire your work.
I DID loosen off the drivers side headlight just to get that little bit extra room. This includes loosening one side of the bumber mountings. Not really needed, but did help a little.
THE END :D
I did this on a 1.8 SRi with AirCon. Next task - to make the thing fit on a Corsa C. :shock:
Ist das nicht ne gute Idee? Kommt mehr Luft durch den Grill zum Lufi. Nicht blöd die Inselaffen. :D
