....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.

It is true that it's not all bad and yes I have close ups of the drilled fog grills;




I've been told quite often to remove more, leaving only the honeycomb. But I'm not going to do more than I have...AND
what I did was cut out a template that fit inside the honeycomb from a piece of cereal box cardboard. I put a small hole in the center of the template,
and marked each spot to drill using the tip of a nail. A scribe or something else sharply pointed would work. Then I drilled them with
a wood bore bit like this;

I rested the fog grill on end of a wooden post for backing to stabilize the bitas it went through. Drilling from the outside to the inside and I took my time.

....I think you're right. To remove more would seriously weaken the honeycomb structure as what's left would be too thin.

That is exactly what I thought.

Am actually liking that, and glad you're enjoying your stay here too. I wasn't going to dwell on this point for too long, but UK forums are quite different than the US ones in terms of how people are with each other. Nice friendly, helpful and supportive bunch on here  :happy2:

The only vid I have is a 0-120mph. It was raining when I shot it, so the start is a bit of a crawl.
Here's the link;

I have 20whp more now then I had in the vid. I changed from AWE/giac K04 file to giac's high output K04 file.

GIAC more popular on your side of the pond than over here.
