i am looking for an air filter for the current astra. Supercheapauto has given me a figure of $135 for a K&N filter, which they had to order and get delivered. Anyone know of alternative sources which sell for a cheaper price?

Also,

are there any aftermarket fuel, air, and pollen filters for the current astra?
seems like valvoline has none and ryco only the air filter.

Cheers in advance,

I think for what they cost ($5-600 for the Viper) would be better spent on other mods :o
K&N 57i kit is cheaper than that and similar setup, also there is a BMC version called the CDA or Carbon Dynamic Airbox.
