Air Filter Mod - Yay or Nay?

[MrDeathLad]

It will be similar to yours MrDeathLad - yours been the genuine VW accessory one from the brochure.

This one is similar but not exactly the same, not as streamlined and the middle support is thicker. But then again for 145$ Painted and delivered I can't complain, if its crap I won't use it.

The genuine VW on the other hand was quoted at 800$ - quite an investment though its painted and fitted. Still way too much to spend on a spoiler.

I'm hoping to have the top / back of the car look like this, just a gloss instead of what looks like a matte black roof

I'm up for suggestions of other types providing they are not too expensive, seen some nice carbon fibre ones but doesn't match the theme of my car.

mine was 755, added at delivery

The story I got told by my dealer (and it could very well be just a story - who knows) is that VWA sell the parts to dealers at 2 different wholesale prices. Stock bought in to sit on a parts shelf is dearer than stock bought in to go on a new car. They dont get delivered painted, the dealer gets it painted. Had to wait an extra week to pick mine up. Was a long week staring at the car in the pre-delivery yard.

The spoiler is the cheapest piece btw, probably because its the one least likely to get damaged on gutters and driveways.

Will sound better, with no performance gain and worse filtration. Keep it factory and wait for the tune is my theory
