I see Thanks for clearing that up! So basically CF keeps the heat out better then.

Given the speed at which the air is hosing through the airbox, can anyone honestly kid themselves that a carbon fibre airbox is going to improve anything other than the cosmetics of the vehicle?

It's going to functionally improve neither the Saxo, or a Golf5 GTI, if the shape of the airbox is the same.

If there is an improvement to the shape and functionality of the airbox/cone filter then maybe it's worth another ~5bhp but manufacturers tend not to fit rubbish intake systems to their cars - why would they?
