not sure what 202's and 203's are like for under bonnet temps but the 205's are fierce warm and any filter outside of its housing is going to cause heat soak, my filter is rehoused in front of the splash guard on the passenger side (UK Car) in a cold air box, so i'm minimalising the heat soak and power loss by doing so, and because my car means the world to me i'm not going to put on any cheap tack because it looks the part, all the parts i put on the faff are there to serve a purpose (either to enhance performance or safe guard from malfunction). I've seen pics of cheap panel filters costing buttons and guys putting them into standard airboxes and eventually over time the filter breaking up and it being sucked into the intake or in the pics i seen into the turbo compressor housing and it wasn't a pretty sight......... another little saying for you the cheapest is the dearest and the dearest the cheapest, if you can see where i'm coming from
