My English is a little bit horrible I think but I try to write some notes about sideskirts from R20. They are very nice accessories and have nice contour. Problem that price for couple is horrible. They are a little bit longer and their ends are problem for hitch as front as rear side.
I did their from fiberglass and tuning their. My opinion that are good for front bumper MY 2008 Cupra/FR with front accesories by JeDesign. New bumper MY 2010 is ugly from fabric and hard to modify its. Details photos you can find on my web site www.cila.sk

Sounds like you've had to modify them quite a bit

Any body know what the benefits of installing an aftermarket panel filter is? Like a K&N or a Pipercross? Thanks.

I installed a pipercross panel filter and to be honest, i didnt feel any difference.
I might be looking to buy the carbonio intake though. Apparently it has a cone filter inside a carbon box which shields the heat. Also apparently the carbonio adds noise because of the cone filter!!! But for £260 its a real downer =[

What's an intake? Is that like another name for an air filter? If so, 260 is definitely too much money for the hassle, mate. The Pipercross air filter didn't give me much performance-wise, but noise-wise it's a beauty. It transformed the engine's noise from a standard 1.6 into, perhaps, a turbo-charged one or even better.

My piper cross panel filter didn't even give me any more noise sounds totally standard.
But then again mines a turbo and diesel so maybe it's different :S

I was thinking about these:

OR

http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/leon1p/carbonio-intake-2-0-tdi

Which one is best? Im looking for noise mostly but DO NOT want to lose even 1 bhp ^^
Let me know

I'm truly sorry mate I neither have a turbo nor a diesel so I cannot really answer that question. I think you're better off creating a thread here and asking others about their opinions. They both definitely look impressive!

According to some online research I've conducted, free-flowing don't do much in terms of performance and do nothing noise-wise so I guess they're just a waste of money; they do, however, last longer than the stock panel filters, so I guess that's the only benefit.

Air filters, on the other hand, are different. They tend to increase a little bit of performance and a little bit of noise. In my case, performance wasn't much but noise is definitely outstanding and much improved now. Air filters are also pretty cheap so it's a win-win situation. I'll just have to clean it every two months or so, and I hope taking it out and putting it back in is going to be easy. I might just pay my friend a visit every time I want to and have him do it for me. :D

Its not hollow its jus "domed" in the centre . The body shop will rmove bumper glue them on an also screw them through the bumper to make sure there solid and then prep for spray

Should set the back of the car off a treat :)

Just a thought R.E. diffuser fins and AUDI A5 Sideskirt "blades" would it be worth a shot with these triple r composites so people can get what they want? Id love both of these
