Any holes drilled might lead to 'carb icing' at this time of the year mate and make your Golf stall...... i might be wrong though?

just drill along the front of the filter box, not too much or it'll fall apart :grin: as long as you leave the back half alone you'll be ok.

Just be aware that if anything your car will be slower, as it'll be sucking in lovely hot air from the engine bay ;)
