Meet my US version mkv w/K04...
« on: June 08, 2011, 03:31:09 am »
Hello from Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest.
I hope I'm not stepping on toes if I visit you all from time to time.
This is my`07 MKV  FSI in its current state;


It ran its 1st 1/4 mile on 6-4-11 with my K04 + upgrades. These are her time slips;


I haven't filled out my profile yet, where I'll put my mods in my signature. Getting to that next.
I'm looking forward to checking out the dub community here.

So, Hello to all of you...

Dave
Thanks, and yes, I did drill them myself. Everyone has their own taste, I know. The squared look of the
aftermarket open fog grills just wasn't growing on me, so I tried something different. So, it doesn't suit everyone, but it does look good to me.

Yeah i like the look of the fog grills  :happy2: i've never seen them drilled out and fitted like that before, kinda DIY but i think it works quite well  :congrats:

Thank you. I figured what the hell, try it. If I didn't like the results, I haven't lost anything really. Because I would just go ahead with the others at that point.

Thanks. You all are really cool. Over the past few years in forums, mostly US, you don't really receive the welcome
like I've seen here. Guys go into the intro threads there and usually aren't even welcomed sometimes. Usually guys
start in on how their ride sucks, what they need to do to it, and/or immediately try to convince the new guy how to
modify. It sometimes turns in to a flame show. So, again thanks :happy2:

....Yep, that's unfortunately a familiar story - I'm a member of that forum across your side of the pond too. But it's not all bad.



A Warm Welcome.

Any close-up pics of your drilled foglight panels? I thought of doing the same once upon a time but didn't think I could do it well enough.
