hi

I think the apexi induction kit seems to be a popular choice on here from reading other posts.
Its the one im going for because im changing to a FMIC, seems quite safe for maf sensors etc.
Or maybe a green panel filter in the stock airbox.

It depends upon what you want from your filter and what changes you've made to the induction system.
Many aftermarket filters allow a lot of muck through. That's why they flow better than standard. However, the downside will be greater engine wear. Simply upgrading the panel filter is unlikely to give much advantage as the rest of the system limits the flow.
If your system is standard, stay with OE.

Its a MY00UK with the PPP but its got a foam covered cone filter on at the moment and the pipe has been changed to a stainless steel.

replacing back to a standard means I'll have to buy the box again and set it back up.

Really looking for a replacement cone thats safe or I read a lot about a panel inside the wing but don't know whats involved?

Cheers
