It’s been one month since Mk3Love first came online and it seems like we’ve opened the flood gates to Mk3 owners and enthusiasts. We have 115+ members registered on the forum with new people joining each day!
Take a look at these stats on the site:

Expanded PM Notification on Forum

Posted on 15 January 2008

For those of you on the forum that have chosen to be notified via email whenever you receive a new private message, you might be surprised the next time the email comes through. Tonight I installed an upgrade on these notifications so that you can see who sent you the message and what the content [...]

Embed YouTube or Google Videos in your Forum Posts

Posted on 13 January 2008

This add-on for the forum has taken me a few hours to get everything installed and working correctly, but it looks like I finally got it. Most of the forum add-ons are fairly straight forward to install, but this latest mod was a custom job since I only wanted to add the Google and YouTube [...]

New Web Banner

Posted on 12 January 2008

It seems that if you want to get people to help promote your site (or pay people to promote it), you’ve got to have a web banner. The standard size is 468×60. Here’s what I came up with this morning:

I’ll probably crank out some more over time, but this will get us started. Feel free [...]

Got my reprint of the Mk3Love shirt today. It looks awesome!

Now we need to finalize a design and I can get pricing and start taking orders.
Check out the size chart to decide what you need. I’m wearing a medium in this picture. 5′11″ and 185 lbs.

Guide to Headlight Switches

Posted on 09 January 2008

The Guide to Headlight Switches is now available in the Parts Guide section of the site (listed under Resources). The article comes from ventoCL, our 20th registered forum member and a Mk3 owner I’ve followed for quite some time on Vortex.

Mk3Love Test Shirt has Arrived

Posted on 08 January 2008

Yesterday I got the Mk3Love shirt I ordered and everything looks good, but they printed the logo in the wrong color! The directions they included on their website were a bit confusing and I must have done something wrong when selecting the color to be printed in. I’ve got to call their customer service and [...]

Hooking Up Smoked E-Codes

Posted on 05 January 2008

Several days ago I ordered a set of e-code headlight plug conversion harnesses from EuroWires. Total cost was about $45 shipped. These harnesses will convert my stock 9004 headlight plugs over to the Mk3 Euro style plugs.

I’ll post more info once I receive the parts. Expect a full review to appear in the Resource section.

First Shirt Ordered

Posted on 01 January 2008

Today I ordered a custom, one-off shirt with the following design:

I’m going to see how the quality of the shirt and the printing turn out. The site I ordered it from was very user-friendly, but also technologically advanced. I’m even surprised it let me order a single shirt design. The site let me pick the [...]
