Is it the panel filter?  If so there's a smaller one available that was either early 8v (k-jet) or 16v.  You might have got that one by mistake?  :sad:

Its thinner about the same length.  Been on the K&N web site and it shows that it should be this one to fit my model.

I see what you mean, does say thats the one! 

Sounds very similar in size to the wrong one i got from halfords i'm afraid, there were a few alternatives listed and i chose the wrong one. I never did find out which 8v the thinner filter was for. I'm guessing a K-Jet?

Just checked on awesome gti website and the filter you have is for the earlier K-Jet 8v, you need 33 2029 for the later digi.
