Air filter fitting - 2 or 3 screws in airbox???



  mk1 ph2 1.4
Im looking to buy a new panel filter for a 95 1.4 champs elysees with the energy engine. However looking at other pics of airboxes and so on and specs for the various filters there all 3 bolt fittings for that year. However on my airbox there are 2 bolts that hold the air box in place and then a screw that secures the top on. Is this seen as a 2 or 3 bolt fitting??

And if its a 2 bolt fitting how comes they are associated with 96+ engines when my car is a 95???

Im really confused and hope someone can shed some light on the situation so I can get on with my cold air feed project.

cheers

this is exactly the same as my airbox (providing the furthest right hole has a screw) ..

with the 2 bolt fitting and a screw to hold the top on. So is this a "2 screws in airbox" lid unlike the ones which have 3 bolts to hold the actual airbox in place?
And if so how comes my cars a 95 reg and when searching for that age range they all say "3 screws in airbox" and the 2 bolt ones started on 96 cars??? Or am I just a bit muddled :S .

Anyway confirmation of what type of airbox I have would be much appreciated if anyones had similar experiences.
Now decided to go for induction kit (for sound :cool: ) with a heat shield and cold air feed but not until I know what model to buy!!

cheers!!
