If you're only going to drop it 30-40mm, why do you want coilies?
I've done mine today, snow foamed, washed, clayed, snow foamed, washed, polished, waxed one side and it threw it down, waited til it stopped waxed all of it bar the rear end and it rained again.....

I had that induction kit, but sent it back because it didnt fit and came with a few pieces missing. Have you got it on yet?

not yet... done a trial fitting though.. sort of layed everything out over the engine and can't see why it wouldn't fit!
What didn't fit on yours so I can check?
All the parts seem to be there!

Bit of a bummer isnt it! I presume you have the long thin airbox? As the xsi has a square one like the gti, and has a bit of a bigger gap between rocker cover and battery.

Been a while... lol.
Never did manage to fit an induction kit, eventually went for a k+n replacement panel filter!
Everything else is still standard atm, any funds I did have were taken by me moving to Cardiff a while back!
Anyways, quick pic after a blast round the awesome roads in the breacon beacons!
