I didn't use that filters, but the picture is fine.

Additionally I wired a connection from J2's pin2 (+5V) to pin8 on the SCART
with an resistor.
I just took a 560 Ohm, but I think everything between 500 and 1000 Ohm
should be OK.

Pin8 switches the TV to the used AV-input. But you should consider the
following:

Originally 12V have been used at pin8. For the last four years has been
changed.
12V switches TV to 4:3 and 5V to 16:9, now. So you have to switch your TV
from automatic recognition to 4:3.
