i just checked my inspira 1.8manual air filter, noticed that only top portion has the 2 clip on bracket not at the bottom, this is the 1st time i see the air filter wall exposed as part of the cover box...
enquiring for an open pod filter from speedworks & few others accessories shop for price comparison...

There are two hook clips at the bottom, these must be aligned to the air filter as well as the top clips, to form a perfect seal arnd the air filter...
Most SC fails to realise that they must also align and lock the bottom hook clips too, not just the top clips... and not locking the bottom hook clips will result in a much louder engine roar and loss of power...
Open pod modification need more work, as the open pod intake must be positioned to the front and will be placed where the battery is currently placed... thus the battery needs to be reposition too....
Unless you want the open pod intake to be where the current air filter box is, at the back and sucking in hot engine air...
Do let us know there prices that you can get....
