How much is the shippingcost to Sweden, Europe??
I have a few thoughts about the CAI:
The space between the cross member and the bonnet is extremely small, is the inside area in the CAI big enough?
How much bigger is that area compared to the area inside the throttlebody?
How will I fitt a CAI like this if I have a Veilside style frontbumper??

Shipping international is all the same price. $AUD95.
Works out to be about SEK2603 for the the part and shipping.
The section over the crossmember is the tightest part. We went to a lot of trouble to ensure that at this point the opening is as large as it can be, the fibreglass is as thin as possible, and the space between the AIE and the bonnet is at a minimum. In the kit comes with protectors you attach to the under side of the bonnet so that the AIE isn't damaged as a result of any bonnet movement. And the end result is that there is no measurable restriction at that point.
I have no idea on the Veilside. Is the front grill opening wider or narrower than standard? I'm sure it will go in but it may need some modification.

Ok this installation isn't all that complicated BUT no matter how much I mess with the thing, the hood won"t shut without pushing hard above the latch. Is this normal for you guys??
I was wondering if the wire behind the AIE is holding things up?
Also is there supposed to be a gap on the left side where the intake meets the airbox? I have about 1/4" to 3/8" gap.
grrrrrr

Try reaching in the front of the grill and moving it left or right until it sits flat. If it's flat on the crossmember and your car is straight it will fit. Any misalignment in the air box or front grill can throw it off, but these can all be adjusted.

O K, the left/right thing doesn't seem to help either...to the left it hits the rad mount..to the right it is held up by the airbox. after looking closer it is sitting flat on the crossmember, its just the "roll" of the edge that made it look like it was sitting up. If I apply pressure to the AIE top, it doesn't want to go down any further..??

If it is sitting flat then there is no need to adjust. You might try loosening (1/2 turn) the hood catch (where it screws to the front of the crossmember) and tapping it up a little. The tolerance here is very tight (so as to get as much air through as possible) and there is a fair amount of play in the hood alignment. Mind you, I've installed 8 of these and never had to do this so far.
