If your buying from a dealer just ask for an air filter for a MK5 Golf GTI. They will probably have several in stock  :happy2:

P/N: 06F133843A
Genuine £15.29 delivered (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SKODA-SEAT-AUDI-VW-AIR-FILTER-06F133843A-FSI-TFSI-BRAND-NEW-/320823952348?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Plat_Gen%3AMK+V&hash=item4ab29903dc)

Might be cheaper from the dealer though.

I certainly would. +7bhp on the dyno with a K&N on mine, improved throttle response too  Great little mod  :happy2:

The ITG panel filter should also be on your short list.  :smiley:

Being fair it horses for courses. I ran my Stage 2+ car with the OE filter and didn't lose any horse power when switching back from the K&N. Filters should be just that and filter the air.  The K&N do filter the air but don't filter out the finer particles like paper air filters. If you change the paper filter every 10,000 miles you wont have any problems with the filter clogging up.
