09 onwards Fiesta it's 4 hex screws, one on each corner ... not sure about the '08 (I would assume it's similar)?

WQ shape or WS shape? I think it was under the engine cover on the mk6 which should be just a few screws. Mk7 is four HEX screws. airbox is at the bottom right of the engine bay.

Ok thanks for the replies guys...I've worked it out, disconnect on right side air intake pipe and on left side disconnect air outlet to manifold pipe also right next to that is a 12mm fitting disconnect it from side of air box, then undo two I think 12mm bolts top of air box then with both hands on each side of air box pull firmly up and down air box sits on two metal studs with rubber plugs when out turn upside down and undo nine hex screws then air box will split in two exposing the filter....bloody easy when you know how.
