I got tired of my custom Pod filter setup sucking hot air after 30mins in traffic and decided to replace with the Seat Air Intake.
After trying many positions and forms of heat shielding the pod always got hot after about 30mins. Glorious intake sound about dramatic (and very noticable) loss in performance when hot.
So... I brought in a few intakes and have extras for sale see the parts sales pages. Current price for one from the UK is $230.

Apparently Rocket Industries have decided not to import K&N air filters for the Polo GTi (K&N 33-2830) into Australia due to insufficient demand. I contacted them this morning and if you insist on 1 they will bring in 1 at a price of about $250 each.
So I found a seller in the US that will send me 3 (all he has). I will use 1 and the other 2 will be available here in about 2 weeks time. Pricing will be about $120 each including shipping. Let me know if you want 1.

I've got the special orders enquiries boys at work chasing a price from Rocket USA, and by the looks of things it won't be cheap.
Which 'Barn is your local?

it's not hard to do urself man - remove the airbox lid by removing the 2 screws, take out the old filter and slot in the new one
i have just put a bmc air filter panel in last week. couldn't find the part number for k & n but it is too late now anyway. i paid $144 including freight. easty to install, i did it myself.
the seat intake loves totally stealth, love it. i might try removing the flap.
