Personally I would save your money and buy an OEM paper one. :smiley:

I have the Pipercross panel filter. Not sure if there will be any measurable gain but surely its gotta be better than the stock paper one? Its possible it has a placebo effect maybe  :laugh:

if you wanna do it cheap find a mate with a halfrauds trade card and you can pick up a paper filter for around 3 quid from there. id have said green cotton are good although im not sure if they make a panel for the mk5

I got myself a pipercross filter.

Easy to fit, not a bad price and you can simply clean it & re-use it!

They do: clicky

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
