Liking that!

I would try and get thinner spacers though, personally not keen on the wheel sticking past the arch.

Haven't updated this in a while due to breaking my camera and not being able to take pics of my progress :( Took a few up to date pics on my phone though so I've got pics to show you but they're crap quality

First off I split my headlights and painted the outer chrome section black similar to the Mk4 Golf anni headlights



Then I popped to VW and ordered a V6 4motion front valance, took a couple of days to come but was worth the wait :)



Fitted my smoked crystal rear lights and gave the car a good wax



And just a random picture of how it is now



Apart from that.. I've had the windscreen replaced, I've replaced the scuffed front rubstrip and I've replaced all the factory bulbs with bright white LED bulbs (interior/number plate/sidelights/reverse lights)

The only problem I've had with the car since owning it, is the passenger side window regulator, the stupid white plastic clips broke so I plastic welded them back together and haven't had any problems since :evil:

All comments welcome :)

Cheers mate..

The debadged grill is a bit of a marmite mod.. the only reason its on there is because the factory fitted grill had chrome slats and looked a bit chavtastic lol. I'm on the lookout for a standard indigo blue grill but I'm in no rush.. I've also considered painting the debadged grill blue to match the car but not sure how it would look.
The wheels need a refurb because the lips are badly corroded, although there's no kerbing which is surprising cus they stick out a mile lol. I was just going to get them re-done in the original colour although indigo blue centres and (believe it or not) pink centres did cross my mind. I just think the car is a bit too serious for lairy coloured wheels
As for the spoiler, that's definately staying.. I've actually never seen another Bora with a rear spoiler so I like it because it makes mine look different, plus when you look in the rear view mirror and see the spoiler it reminds you that you're driving a car with a boot :grin:

He lives!!!!!  :shocked: :grin: :grin:

Cars looking good!

The grill is growing on me, don't like it with the bra though. Loving the spoiler though it's subtle and not chavtastic!!
