   Is the stock air filter for the 1.1 orange? Just took a look at the one already in there, it doesnt look bad but im just looking at changing it so that ive got a fresh new one in there.
   And also has anyone tried the green Kam racing air filters as im leaning towards buying one of those.
   Cheers.

   Well I wouldn't have thought the air filter has done 110k lol it should have been changed every 10k-ish as part of the service

   Stock air filters are orange rubber on the outside with yellow paper in the middle. A panel filter with the resonator hole plugged of is arguably just as effective if not better than most induction kits.

   It's a 1.1 wouldn't bother with anything other than a standard £3 filter.

   I have a k&n panel filter its not bad but mines a 1.6 not sure a performance filter would make much difference on a 1.1
