Pipercross panel or foam filter?

[crazy6]

Hi guys ( and girls )

I'm not looking to do a full induction kit ( otherwise ITG maxgon would be on my list at £360ish ) but in the short term what would your choice be of a simple panel filter ( pipercross claim 30% more airflow ) and keep the Lotus airbox system - or the pipercross foam filter ( which removes the whole box unit but then allows air to warm in the engine bay before going in I presume ).

Panel filter is around £40, foam filter around £90. The Viper system looks good but is almost £200 and I can't justify that right now with a suspension refresh coming up

I got the VIS on my car at the moment sounds rather nice especialy with the 2Bular
Selling the whole car atm and havent got the old filter to swap and sell seperately

Sorry guys S1 - and hoping to get her to DVApower early next year for a nice upgrade around breathability which is why I want to do a 'little' something now but not spend £366 on itg induction

anyone running the pipercross foam filter? Does it make much difference from stock airbox?
