It is probably only neccesary if you are running a non-standard air filter.

I folded something very similar from a bit of scrap light ally that 'er indoors liberated from the skip at the local bus garage.Half a dozen pop rivits and it was job jobbed,as a certain zoner would say.Did not bother with the posh edging,though.
