MG MGF Technical - Panel filters

I want to replace the air filter on my 2001 1.8 mpi F with a free flow item. However i'm not sure whether my F has the later TF airbox on it. The part number of the existing filter is GFE2461. I've been unable to find any reference to this number anywhere on the web, and wondered whether anyone on this BBS could tell me. Thanks :)

You will, more than likely, have the later "TF" style airbox - albeit one without the additional air intakes Ian.

K&N don't stock a panel for this airbox, but Pipercross and Green do.

Might be worth fitting a dual air intake airbox in replacement to the one currently in your car Ian - will get more cold air into the engine, which is only a good thing!

ta. are these boxes purchasable new or do i need to visit a breakers yard. also how awkward are they to fit. Or would it be easier to modify the existing box

They sometimes crop on fleabay. Plus, I think that a few contributors here may have the later airbox going spare (Mark had one - but found that they don't actually fit that easily into the Mk1 MGF engine bay due to differing brackets - not sure whether he could be pursuaded to sell it?)

Ian would have ben welcome to it Rob but......... I exchanged it last week for " shiny bits to the value of".

Seem to remmember Deano(MG Rover.org), asking a few weeks ago if anyone wanted his original TF airbox!!..
