Default 5.0 XKR - How to get at the air filters?

Hi guys.

My car is going in for a tune at the weekend so I want to check the air filters to make sure they aren't too dirty and hurting performance at all.

Had a quick look in the engine bay but I couldn't really see the airboxes; I'm guessing they're tucked down behind the front bumper?

What's the best way to get at them?

Cheers.

I have not looked there yet but you can either remove the wheel from each side and remove the inner fender liner at the front . Once you do this you will be able to remove the air cleaner . Some have also mentioned that you can get at it with the wheel on and cranked open to get at the liner.
