                Sorry, Peterx, reading that back it does seem critical, which it wasn't meant to be. I only intended to point out that it was 'historic'; as illustrated by dcunn's more recent one.

                  This one (Q207 WRX) now back on the road and for sale again. Shame the (priceless?) one piece bonnet has had a hole cut in it, why do people do irreparable damage to vehicles when 'restoring' them?

                  Anyway, would still be a good buy as I recall it was a cracker in it's day.

                    Looks like it's had a downdraft conversion and the filter will not fit without modifying the bonnet. I had the same problem with mine.
