I'm on the lookout for either a kit of a panel filter, but due to warranty I might choose the panel filter route as its rather more stealthy!!!

Pipercross you say...better than K&N then?

I fitted both the pipercross panel filter and now im running the induction kit. Much prefer the induction kit ;) dont use celtic tuning by the way they killed my 207 when the remapped it they overfuel the map really badly and it cooked my turbo.

Top sellers potn and don't forget to place sticker it comes with on top of the airbox.Did you also buy the cleaning fluid? If not you can get it from halfrauds.Car will sound much more throaty too.
Don't forget that the bhp gain is fairly marginal so you may not notice a vast difference in power but it is better.
And make sure garage knocks the price of the airfilter off next time car's serviced.About a tenner I reckon.

I had some 'UPRATED' panel filter fitted fitted at my last service but I couldnt notice a difference. It would be so small and subtle that you'd be hard pushed to notice it anyway.

DAVE 88 i used celtictuning for my o6 fiesta and it was alright, who do you reccomend for a remap? i was thinking of going to jabba and getting an uprated clutch to cope with the extra torque the remap would 'free up'.


BIG AL yeah i ordered the cleaning kit too, stickers.... not a big fan of them, if its subtle ill put it on the airbox cover just for you, lol!
