Hi All,

Just wondering, If I replace the Engine Air Filter with a direct replacement K&N Panel Air filter (the one that just drops in the box) will this give an induction noise and are they ok to use in the Mini Cooper R56 (none S).

Also does anybody know of any good replacement H8 fog bulbs which would blend with Philips blue vision ultra main beams and sidelights.

Thanks

Matt

Matt, you'll receive a slightly noise increase with the K&N filter, but it'll be mainly under wide-open throttle applications.
You can use them on the MINI platform, but remember not to over-oil the filter as it can affect / ruin the MAF sensor.
