Juts a quick one,

What do you prefere to see?

an engine bay that is totally standards but very! clean with a few covers ect gloss black?

or....?!?!

an engine bay that has an induction kit and a few stickers ect?


the reasion i am asking is because i dont know weather to get a performance panel filter and keep it "looking" standard or get an induction kit?

my plan is to slightly change my 206 but keep it looking as if its just came out the factory


Any advice would be great Very Happy

I think you've answered your own question as far as what you should do.

As said before its all down to how you want it, been reading reviews and uprating the panel filter seams to be the best bet.

Could always uprate the pipes for silicon but get them in black, sorta tricked but subtle?
Maby get the covers in carbon?

Looking forward to you progress thread... All the best eather way,

Cheers, Frenchie

Pannel filter will give the the best gains if you replace the pipe at the bottom of the airbox. I did. rev's more freely and it sounds more sporty without soundling like it actually has an induction kit.
