I just got a new cabin filter from Parts in Motion. It's a Blue Print make, it's a proper OEM charcoal one and only costs £7.20. It really pays to shop around.

AC pre-filter | FIAT Panda (2012+)
Hi everyone, I wanted to share a recent project on my Panda and get your thoughts. A smelly AC led me to disinfect the system and change the cabin filter a bit ahead of schedule (only 6 months in). While I expected some dark dust, I was surprised by the amount of physical debris—leaves, bugs...
