Minor Upgrades

[Stitch]

My car is due to go in for a B service in the next couple of weeks.

I think that the B service includes replacement of the air filter and spark plugs.

I was wondering if there were decent upgrades to these components that the main dealer would fit to replace the OEM items.

Also, has anyone gone the route of providing the dealer with oil for the service (to keep teh cost down a bit) - was the dealer OK with this?

factory spec plugs are fine - theres no improvement to be had there.

An ITG or K&N panel filter may give 1 or 2 bhp and save money in the long run on paper filters

Ive supplied oil before no probs - guess it depends on the dealer

Possible induction kit? No "real" power gain (couple of BHP perhaps). But a nice induction roar and as above could be justified as a long-term saving on paper filters.
