Hi Guys.

Just bought myself a 2001 Polo GTI and have a little question.

I don't think I know of a Lupo running one, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them.
Spotted these when looking for a K&N Panel filter, thought it may be worth a look?

BMC REPLACEMENT FILTER - FLAT FILTER

BMC has developed a particular production system based on soft rubber moulding which produces the familiar BMC red filters. They are made in one single piece with no welded joints in the corners, thus avoiding breaking risks.

I recently fitted a Pipercross panel filter and the difference is noticable.

I don't know about the BMC panel filter, but judging from posts on this form about BMC's induction kit, I can't see you going wrong with one.

I know the CDAs sound great and seem to give a bhp or two, but I've never found any tests on how well they filter.

Found a Pipercross at just under £30

Dont forget Green Cotton, there also big brand

Whether it's cotton filters or foam filters, they will all be pretty much the same, you wont tell any differance apart from the sound

Just stay away from max power junk, and those rubbish stainless mesh filters
