the BMC ones look quite tidy imo. why not just get a cheap single cone filter in the mean time, there only about a tenner for a universal one, wont be much differnce between that and a K+N cone filter.
most open cone filters will sound the same. If your looking for something quieter try going to a piperX enclosed filter or a BMC/CDA and using a cold air feed pipe. Performance differnce you wont notice unless your car is mapped.
have a look on eruo car parts, i bought mine for my 1.2 with a 30% discount for £25 and camblet kit for £12. I would charge about 40-60 for change, as its a easy job seen as a small engine. took me about a hour to do.
you need to make sure its 100% compatible for your car because each idle valve will be different, sometimes when they are first fitted they idle a bit different. I had this problem with my old car. Did you check the model number on your existing one compared to the one you bought?
yes it would be a wise options to buy the 1*2 arch liners, but they seem to tuck in out of the way anyway so i left the back ones in, but removed he front ones.
from dragging the top of the screen down to display your notifications, press the clear button and this will get rid of it. once thats gone you need to go to settings>call settings and alterter the voicemail number from retrieved from network to "901"
I know its something ive been thinking about, its gonna cost about the same to convert to buy a sport, but with insurance engine change declared, its like 1.5k cheaper to insure mine for the year.
decided on making my own oil catch tank seen as i was bored. Ordered a mini filter to go on the front to finish it off. Pics:
dont really like the positioning either, but until i get a bracket for it to sit near the power steering reseviour, its staying there.
(yes, its a metal drinks bottle...
Erm, no they havent. If your reffering to the bit at the front, thats where the "Grande" badge used to go, i did orignally have them smooth, but i took off the filler a had another idea, then never got round to smoothing it before wrapping them.
