   You wont see any power but green cotton or K&N pannel filters are ok.

   Any difference you notice will be in your head, don't waste your money modifying a 1.1.
   
   Save the cash towards repairs, insurance or for a faster car in the future

    LOL. I thought the same when i had my first 1.1
    
    In all Honestly, fuck all happened. Waste of money.
    
    All noise - No Action
    
    And NO. Do NOT get the Universal ones from Halfords or eBay. They aren't a 'Filter' and they don't give your 1.1 up to +10Bhp.

    I fitted a raceland with the shit filter and im getting no real gains sounds awesome and im getting a little better throttle response when im traveling fast but thats it. It takes something to notice how small the gains are so its your choice which one you go for, but be warned alls you get is a slightly different noise.
