really need to be pointed in the right direction cant find any bolt ons for a 1.7, need one quick or something just as good or better as my airbox has no filter in and has massive holes drilled in it from a t**t of a previous owner :/

There won't be one available. You'll have to adapt one, or buy a standard filter. It won't make any difference to power unless you get the carbs re-jetted, adjusting the fuelling for the extra air that's available. At the moment, it'll probably be running too lean.
