"Simon from Calgary" in EUROTUNER

[Stonewall]

So who is the Simon with the jetta 1.8t that was in the letters section of eurotuner that was at (I presume) C1 getting gauges installed then came across the an old eurotuner with a gauge install how to and left with his car and their mag to install them himself? I couldn't stop laughing after picturing that

Anyways I was originally asked to join this forum because of my Carbon Fiber creations, I learned how to create and perfect many CF pieces not to long ago. So if you guys are looking for something original for your Vdub let me know. Take it easy.

Re: "Simon from Calgary" in EUROTUNER

Right on I knew the culperit would show up I hope you come out to the next meet. I have thought of making some carbon fiber pieces in the past but I think that idea boat has sailed for me. I would sure love to learn how to work with the stuff though.
