Right, so i went down to Swindon on Wednesday(22nd June) and bought(stole) Billy_VW's Bora 1.8T
As people will know it's a 2002 VW Bora 1.8T Sport, it's been remapped to 213bhp/241lbs torque by R-Tech, a Recaro interior put in it, Monty 2 alloys fitted, Induction kit and dump valve fitted and a rear spoiler too.

So my plans for it so far are:
Net Optic trim(to replace wood trim)
Gear Knob
De-badge rear
18" Alloys & Tyres
Lowered Springs
Aero wipers
and maybe change the front and rear valance for 4motion ones
and a new rear exhaust
All these will be done when funds permit :laugh:
-
Looking good :smiley: the mods you have planned will finish it off.
-
Love the colour :cool:
-
Looks nice :cool: I misread the mods list and thought it said 'dump valve on rear spoiler' :grin:

Schweeet :cool: i want one :laugh:
-
Sweet base car, at least you got some engine mods already.
Like the colour but I'm personally not a fan of the spoiler, just my opinion though
-
I wish my Boring was that colour!
-
You wish your Boring had a petrol engine.

You wish your Boring had a petrol engine.

Not going to be the long term rims, but will do till i can afford new
Does highlight the fact i need to drop the ride height a bit now though :laugh:
-
The red lib really doesn't do it an favours :undecided:
I think that sort of shiney bright blue needs silver wheels.
-
Naa i know, gonna paint that out when i get the chance, as i say they are only a temp measure as i can't afford new rims yet :cry:
-
Right, so i went down to Swindon on Wednesday(22nd June) and bought(stole) Billy_VW's Bora 1.8T
I did think about ringing the police after you left as i did feel robbed :cry:
But life goes on :smiley: Now ive got a mk5 turbo anyway :evil:
Looks like she is in good hands, hope you enjoy
-
So got rid of the wood and replaced it with the Net Optic style trim, but it is a bit tatty so had a go a using some carbon fibre sheeting(real carbon not the wrap stuff) i bought a while back.
only done the side trim and drink tray flap
Oh and a new gear knob too

Wow nice job, where's the progress posts? :rolleyes:

I actually really like these alloys on your car mate, the contrast of colours is great. I reckon when it's on coillies you won't wanna take re alloys off :D
