Cheers ben - can i ask yours in particualr i did some searching and yours seems to be more cone shaped than other si have seen. i.e. the other seem a bit flatter?
Also int hat kit is that everything i need or do i need anything else? HEard of heat shields etc?

yes the kit is cone-shaped rather than being flat, don't ask me what the difference is, the only thing is, that you will have to remove the engine cover to fit it.
the kit comes with a cold-air feed and connecting clips, no heat shield

Cheers, is it tur that if no heat shield is in place then the induction kit will actyually loose me power?
P.S liking the DIY job you did on your engine cover

yeah not a noticeable decrease, abit like you wouldn't notice the increase in power either, expecially on an 8v model, i've got it more for sound really.
cheers
