I've just fitted my special black mesh K&N filters, I thought you'd like to see them(?)

[chormy]

Will make a nice difference.

[mgtony]

Are they the standard K&N's, or are black mesh ones different?

Was debating polishing my dashpots aswell, but I think the engine block needs a coat of paint first, as a while ago it got described as looking like a barn find under the bonnet, how very dare they

Actually used the car this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks, started and ran fine in this cold weather, looking pretty tidy with the spoiler freshly painted.

Will try a give it a run regularly through the winter.

nigel, are you suggesting we start an air filter fetish thread? if so, here's mine

Tony theses are special ones with black mesh

. . . and why are you surprise your car starts, and it's not cold, you need to drive it more then you'll either be very surprised that it starts in the very cold or not all surprised because it always starts with your regular use of it

K&N filters should be grey with use, just red to start with, the longer they take to go grey the more of a static lump of metal you have

only special owners have black mesh it's not standard

well spotted ...luckily lump of metal's not static; the filters are new.

Mine red, but also fairly new, but it is mostly static so I don't know what my excuse will be in a year or so's time!

Had to match the colour from some charts for a couple of rattle cans for some paint to redo the spoiler, looks pretty close to me.

great

info was for Tony's benefit really

photo of standard filters below as a comparision, on their way from red to grey

few will have black mesh

sorry Tony missed your post - that looks good enough to drive

I thought people bought GTs with winter driving in mind

c'mon use it you'll enjoy it
