I've got some extra cash to spend on the new S which I should be picking up this week...

Can't decide whether to get the JCW airbox or Carbon Fibre mirror caps? I've heard people say the airbox is not worth the money.
The car is Chilli Red with red roof.
Should I get the caps and an aftermarket airfilter, or go with the JCW?

I need to decide today!

I would go for a pipercorss panel filter - ppl say it's supposed to be the same as a JCW one? Works a treat in mine!

I'd personally go with the JCW air filter

. Not too sure how CF would look on all body colour Chili red?

Me either. I think I'd need the boot handle and scoop too, which is not a problem, but not sure if it would look ok.

Oh the decisions!

Ah man! are you reading my mind! I was thinking of the same thing on mine! It would look better if you had the scoop and boot handle as well!

Don't get the JCW airbox go for an ALTA Induction kit looks and sounds much imo

As I said on ECMC, dont bother with the JCW Filter and get a Alta V2. 1320 can get you one.
