my cosmo cai came today and it sounds super sexy with my big bore throttle body and magnex exhaust (before i had a k&n 57i set up) The problem the head light wont go in properly now as the arm is blocking the way, ohh and i didnt get any instructions with the kit. i would be very greatful if someone could help me out here, this is the current configeration of the pipes:

small pipe then the long pipe with the stright going down towards the bumper with the filter on it.

thanks

i got it through another bmw forum in the UK (dont know if im allowed to say it on here as i dont want to go against forum rules) but it improves the pick up the car feels lighter, pulls harder and there are no more flat spots. im looking to get a remap now but i really want this cai sorted :( lol

ok guys i havent had time to re-fit the cosmo cai but i will do it tomorrow i just want to know is there a write up or any instructions on how to install this as i didnt get any with mine. i would be very greatful of someone could tell me how to fit it and what order the pipes should go as the problem that i am getting is that the pipe is in the way of the head light so i cant fit the light properly.

thanks

ok guys iv done it installed it properly just had to remove the brake duct thingy in the bumper and a bit of jiggaling. all i want to say is OMG the smile this kit puts on my face the sound matched with the BBTB and magnex cat back is so crisp and the higher you go in the rev range you can hear the air intake go mental :smile: now just for a service and remap (i have the baby bmw compact the 1.6)
