2 months into ownership, haven't used it much due to weather, but it's ready for the sun now! 
Very nice looking car 
As for air filters you won't get much in the way of gains. So just go for a standard replacement. If you want a bit more noise search for the sound generator mod on hear

Always go with the O/E air filter in a standard engine, they're usually the best and in many cases actually flow more air than some of the so called aftermarket "performance" ones. Back in the 90s I used to do a bit of spannering for a mate who ran a Mex Escort rally car at club level. We used to call K&N filters "Instant rebore kits" back then, as did most of the other guys.
They're probably a bit better these days, I don't actually know, but I still wouldn't put any aftermarket air filter near my standard engine

That's the girlfriend's TT
The wheels were from Mark at BMautosport - I was after a CS style of wheel rather than the CSL, and this is the closest he had, light weight and concave rears. I have a stubby just haven't for some reason got around to fitting it yet lol!
Seems the advice is not to change the filter so I shall not

Thought the only difference was the width of the front wheels 8" for CS and 8.5" for CSL

subtle design difference also. I had CSL's on my old E46 and CS on my last E92 - the spokes don't get as close together at the wheel edge on the CS compared to the CSL.
