Alsoo my original panel filter box is tatty and not good looking  soo il refurbed it too, because its in the engine bay what paint do you guys advise using?

engine oil or wd40 can make the airbox look clean and shiny again

as for filter, phone gsf car parts on 01216267970

pipercross is better than k&n imo

To tidy it up.  Ide get some sand paper. give it a going over. the. wet and dry untill smooth and then bit of wd40 or polish.   Good as new.

pipercross over k&n ide say. not sure on best place to get them though

This 3 stage foam Pipercross air filter is specially designed for VAG engines and does not require oiling (dry filter)
