Always use genuine ignition parts, zetecs have never liked aftermarket plugs/leads in my opinion. Get yourself onto eBay where you can pick up genuine parts etc. I use opie oils for my oils/filters as they only sell quality stuff. Look in the traders section on here and they occasionally put up discount codes.
Cone filters do nothing on an N/A engine apart from make noise and suck in hot air out of the engine bay, the standard air box is best.

Please be careful if you are planning any engine mods as unless they are like for like replacements then you would probably have to disclose these to your insurer.
