Yeah seen them!
But was wondering had any1 fitted the CONE style filter...

Took my airbox apart 2day and I think the panel filter be a better job as the standard cold air feed is right at front or grill!!

Yeah. Unless you want the induction noise, a panel filter is your best bet. I have an ITG filter, it's good as it never needs cleaning ;)

With the panel filter? Not really. Put it in there so long ago, can't remember what it was like before that.

All I got is a filter from Halfords and a 90 degree bend pipe and that was it kept the original cold intake.

Sounds absolutely superb, gets people looking twice when I release the throttle after building some revs ups when it goes "swoooooshhh" lol

But I'm gonna go crazy, I've brought a Venom induction kit, going to take one of the fogs out and add a additional intake from there :D

Crikey lol. I see you have the 80bhp version of the 1.5 dci. Any chance you could take a pic of your filter setup and post it up please? I want to see if it's similar to the 100bhp.

Yeah will do, did take a few pics yesterday but like a plum deleted them (stupid iphone buttons) I will hopefully get some more tomorrow if the rain ever stops.

Definitely more power, acceleration improved and lot more noise than the panel filter.
