Title: VW Racing panel filter!
Post by: swgti on May 20, 2011, 11:23:42 pm
Trying to contact them but had no luck yet? Looks like the panel filter they offer is pretty good but does anyone know the price so i can compare to others?

Cheers

If it's for an Edition 30 I have one (Pipercross I think) unused .... which anyone who wants it can have for free if they pick it up - never got round to putting it in my car I sold 2 years ago !  Still boxed and in the garage ...

Th factory paper ones are different but no one seems to care in the after-market world.

It's a pipercross filter that they spray vw racing onto.  We keep the same filter in stock and it sells for 35 plus vat!

ITG you can get for about 50quid. TBH they all make very little difference.

Alex... if what your saying is correct, that is disgraceful!  :fighting:
