If any body needs advise how to fit it to a T350 email me... Because it will need modifying slightly due to the carbon fibres rigidness, allow yourself 4 hours, and you will be drilling it
A bit of advise: Clean the inside thoroughly and check there are no bit and pieces on it above the filter that could get sucked in to throttle bodies.

I am absolutely over the moon with it even though I have no knuckles left.
When we prototyped the airbox we found it strange that the TVR dimensions didn't appear to fit and then we worked out that the factory were having to bend them into shape to get them to clip shut. This in turn was forcing them out of square and leaving gaps around the two halves, so it wasn't even filtering the air.
The box is modified to clear wiper linkages but I think it could do with another 5mm to be safe, although being carbon it self lubricates the linkage anyway!!!
One word of advice is to fit the clips with tie wraps to stop them springing open. Mine do that occasionally as the engine is not the smoothest in the books. I used really small ones so you cant really see them just to be sure. It only happened once and even if it does the box will still stay together.
Hope you enjoy it.
I had my throttle pots balanced at the same time and the difference is very noticable when combined with the new airbox.
Would look nice with a carbon cam cover insert!!!

That's sooo nice! Apart from looking the Dog's does it make any difference to the car's behaviour?
No I doubt it will make any difference Wayne apart from the fact that its sucking all the air through the filter now, but who knows?I bought it because I like Carbon Fibre.
Carbon fibre on a car is like twangers on a women.
