Busy day today,

Did my 500 miles post PAW saving my motor oil change. Literally the 1st time I've ever done it, go oil all up my arm taking the filter off DOH!

Also got my CDA box from Dino fitted with a couple of pics;

Can't go wrong with a CDA bud 8)

Only thing I'd suggest though, is shortening the duct to the filter. The less angled corners the air has to turn the better ;-)

Its only a temp job so could get my type s box up for sale.

Will run the ducting into the arch eventually and straighten it out. How much work is it to move the battery to the boot?

You could scroll through the 70 pages of my profile thread and find where I relocated my battery to the boot.

... Or you could find the battery relocation How-to I did in the How-to/tech section ;-)
