its the 2.2 airbox fits straight in, better response but you hear the standard dump valve more without the crossover pipe

I think he may mean the lack of oil cap, in which case I'd assume it has a dry sump.

I just know what I read in TV
there is no oil filler, and no dry sump
Why go to all that hassle smoothing it off, just to go through lots of hassle to top up or change oil 
seems silly

The mk3. Went to an RR day in Luton and they were there (they're friendly with Teddy on here), it's a rocker cover off jobbie each time, but it really does look quite cool.

So you need to take the sump off, top it up and fit it back on?

i would have thought, that they have modified undernieth the plug cover, simply becuase if they are going for the smooth look they would have smoothed the plug cover in too.
