Hey yalllll,
got a 1.2 16v and was thinking of installing a vent filter on the old girl lol,

just wondering is there much point? is it mainly looks or will i get some form of performance benefit?

secondly is it as easy as taking the pipe of the back of the engine that connects to the airflow and chucking a vent filter on the engine and blocking up the old pipe?

thanks

performance will only benefit if you have a k&n panel filter and a de-restricted box (but very minimal 2-4bhp)
do a good job "they look the part"

i already drilled and de-restricted my air box, but i got a normal filter on
is there a need for a k and n on top of this do ya think?

if i gained an extra 1 bhp i'd be happy lmao, however it wont effect the reliability of the car etc? would it have to be cleaned regularly as well?

sorry bout all the questions i just like to know every single detail about something before i do something lol, i try to be a perfectionist . . . ish

im the same as you mate. im going to get one as well as my air filter has made me car poo top end. when i took out my old box it had leaves and all sorts in it so i guess its best to clean the panle filter if you get one
