I saw them when I 1st got my VTS 8months ago on eBay thought surely the Green will be better . . . £190 later the Green turns up it look very Cheap (nowhere as good as the Raceland item) and was very gut'd.

I wasn't very impressed with the lack of cold air that is able to enter the scoop due to the small holes in the slam panel so I bought a 106gti K&N Gen2 style kit off eBay. Fit was Super Crap but it fitted in the end and cant really feel much of a a drop in performance if at all. but will keep my eye on it.

In short for the money, nice bit of kit. Check out the ones for the 106GTi cos the scoops look alittle bit bigger.

Overall if its a upgrade from standard then for the money it offers a very good item, it just IMO the cone can be starved of cold air when the car is asked to take off hard from a standing start. I nearly added a cold air feed from the front of the car to the underside of the scoop to aid cold air supply but rather than muck about I just bought another kit :-)

A lot of people on here highly recommend these items and if I had paid what you paid I would have been happy too
