 Nice vehicle,did the Pipercross filter come as standard kit ?

Hello faradacage.

I had the performance air filter fitted extra at the same time as the special quick gear change mod. This gives 50% quicker auto changes plus allows more torque when overtaking. NOT a performance chip as such, no increase in BHP or torque, just an adjustment of what is already there. Acceleration certainly quicker. Only downsize I think is a bit more induction noise when really accelerating hard. Not noticeable by Skoda software.

I forgot I also had  'midnight' window tinting, not front or driver/passengers side of course.

I don't no whjy but I love driving this car, not something I have had with all most of my previous vehicles (46 at present !)

I know what you mean about loving driving it.I've been used to sports roadsters and the breakneck acceleration of racing quadbikes,I can't explain to anyone exactly why I am so taken with a small engined MPV.But I do know one thing,its been a long time since I've owned a vehicle that attracts so much attention and so many questions [even from Skoda fans ]as this one does.

Yesterday I was parked up in Sainsburys and a Citigo owner and a couple driving a white Skoda Yeti both walked over to talk to me,women especially seem to love the Roomster.

Its funny that you mentioned window tinting,I've been thinking about having the back section done,next month whilst she is booked in for a machine polishing.

BTW what did the Pipercross filter cost you and where did you buy it from?,I'd be really interested to know.??

Re the pipercross performance air filter. I had it fitted by MotorMods, near Cheltenham, they also fitted the rear spoiler and black wrapping of the 'B' pillars. You can also fit a K&N filter. These will NOT affect the warranty and are washable, they do NOT need replacing like the original Skoda item.

The window tinting, from memory, a year ago now, cost about £250 - goes well with black roof and black pillar wrappoing.

I will post a picture sometime.. Any garage can fit the filter or do it youirself, not difficult. Happy motoring.

PS - I went to Cambodia/Vietnam last year and went on a 2 hour quad bike trek through the coubtry side and paddyfields, wonderful

I've gone off the idea of a K&N filter having read a few comments on here about oil getting over familiar with the engine,though I may well give the Pipercross a go,nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

Re the Cambodian quad adventure.......you jammy bugger,big thumbs up to you. :clap:
