Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi lads, I'm finally getting a bit of time on the car since it came back from the bodyshop. I'm currently fitting the genuine aerokit engine lid I've had for a year or so. The bit I'm struggling with it the snorkel/inlet piece that should be on the inlet hole above where the air filter sits. The old one from my standard lid looks to be the correct size for the aperture but the slot in the rubber that clips onto the edges in the hole aren't wide enough for the thicker fibreglass edges. So question is what part are you lads using? I've looked at my GT3 pics but it had a totally different lid due to inlet being in a different place. Anyway a few pics. Nothing to be found for Carrera Aerokit on the Parts file so I'm baffled. It must be somewhere. :?

POST 2Original post

Looks very similar: Can't find a part number I'm afraid, will continue to keep an eye out.

POST 3Original post

Hi Mine seems to have 45 deg slots filed in the fibreglass to enable the Std bellows to fit
