Panel Filters?

[J0sh]

Ive seen alot of people talking about them. Just wandered exactly how they fit. Pictures of one fitted would probably help me understand it a little better.

on the 1.2 16v (i assume thats what you have going by your profile) you simply unbolt the 2 bolts holding the airbox on, lift it off and replace the standard paper air filter with the new panel filter, easy only takes 2 minutes.

yep, fits same place as the standard element, just supposed to increase volumetric efficientcy or air flow into the cylinders as its more commonly known

what they said , quite easy to replace the std one , by removing the bolts etc ....

now the dilemma is which panel filter ?? itg

 

[172Petey]

Yes, I have an ITG! Great, an super quality!

 

[tommyboy]

just replaces the old filter element in the airbox

go for ITG. they're all pretty similar but these are highly recommended on here regularly

I have a K & N panel filter for sale....It was in my 1.2 16v Dynamique for a grand total of 15 miles. It's boxed and as new - Let me know if you interested ( Save a few quid too ! )

Cool, so its essentialy just a replacement element? Just wondering becasue I was looking at getting an induction kit but what with the weather and insurance bother, thought this might be a better option. Dose it effect the engine note in any way?

yeah ive got a knN pannel too, got about 1000 miles on it.

TBFH id go buy an induction kit, theyre 70 quid and theyre worth it, even though your car will still be s**t slow.
