  1. Anyone who has fitted Earz to their air intakes will appreciate their performance, what they won't like is walking into them all the time. I fitted some motorcycle screen trim to mine. It comes in different colours and looks quite smart too

    @roach I don't suppose you just happen to sell these things?

    What's the point in them?

    Clip on bling. Seriously though I could do with a pair for my tiny early vents...
     
  7. They will keep your engine cooler which is no bad thing, the Earz are from Just Kampers and the trim is from Halfrauds
    I have had them over a year now with no problems at all in any weather

    Surely if they are needed to keep your engine cooler , the bods at VW would have thought of this in the first place?

  9. You say that, but by that logic they would have lowered them and stuck a scoobie engine in? :p

    Very true!! Maybe, if they had still been built in Germany, they may have tried it, who knows!
     
  11. To be fair Petrol has changed a lot since then as well as oil.
     
  12. It adds downforce, aids cornering
    :lol:

  16. If you don't like them don't buy them but don't be rude, if you want to be rude, do it to my face

    They might. I could do with more air passing mine and a bit more +ve pressure in the engine bay might help? I've only got small vents. :(

    I thought they were oil cooled really?

    There's a sq m of air per second forced past the cylinders and heads cooling them. I'd say that makes them air-cooled.

    Fair.
    Does the more air forced into the engine bay make the fan move any more volume of air over the heads though?
