I have a K&N one in mine, no difference really except it has a slightly different induction tone and never needs to be replaced

Does need cleaning though. I could built a tarry nest with what I scraped off of mine yesterday. Have you ever cleaned yours? You can buy a kit from the net, and makes a hell of a difference IMO.

I just want to change it with a better one.I had an induction kit on my previous GP (1.4) and the sound was great.I know it needs cleaning, i prefer that than having to change it over and over...

Just stick with standard mate, you wont see much if any difference if replacing the stock air filter with an alternate one in the existing housing.
nope, never cleaned it- I've asked the dealer to clean it tommorow when it goes for a service though, with the kit i got instead of replacing the filter.
Any difference between the stock on and this k&n panelfilter?

I'm not looking to see any difference from just one filter, just better "breathing" and better material than the standard one.

probably not unless you have a T-jet. But it only takes 5 mins so try it out.
T-jet element is different to 1.2/ 1.4 8v and 1.4 16v iirc, not sure about the diesels
