Morning guys
Not really a massive fan of induction kits but have decided to tweak the JCW a little bit so it just seems that the intake is the next step. Have had a look at a few panel filters and even tried a BMC CDA last week which I wasnt impressed with. Anyway, I spotted this Dinan one on Ebay USA for £85, read a few reviews and the stuff on the website and liked the fact it looked factory. Also liked the way you cut a bit of a hole in the plastic so it sucks cold air from under the windscreen. Anyway, put it on last night and it is sweet! Car definitely feels perkier especially at the top end and the supercharger now sounds like its on the passenger seat!!!
Think Dinan only do BMW stuff but if you can get hold of any, do it cos its top notch stuff!!!! http://www.dinancars.com/

Cheers guys! Its the stock look that I liked. BMW do one similar but its a fortune cos it has daft flappy paddles that open at certain engine revs!
Just a shame the stock look will be ruined with the bigger intercooler!

Yeah Im just not sure which pulley to go for though? Im not sure what my cars had done to it with the JCW pack to get it to 210bhp in the first place. Think I need to do my digging and find out!
I think next job is find out what % smaller pulley my charger has (if it has already had one) then go a bit smaller with a bigger intercooler and a remap.
