Title: Gora Pic Request!
Post by: dubsport on 31 October 2010, 20:57
Seriously thinking of swapping the front end on my bora to a golf front end (with Anni lights and R32 bumper)

I'm not having much luck finding pictures of any 'Goras'  :grin:  on the net, can anyone put some up?

Much appreciated :afro:

it dont help that botht hem examples have the oh so common r32 bumper, but still i think the bora fronts better, if i had a mk4 it would be a bolf tbh, but its your car dude whatever you feel right

There was a mental one in metallic grey with some kind of aggressive aftermarket front bumper. I'll go have a hunt for the pictures. Imo a golf front on a booted mk4 generally doesn't work out as well as on other generations sadly  :sad:

That white one is so close to being perfect... really like it.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it.

Agreed there was one on air ride I've seen and it was met. brown, but god they rolled the rear arches within an inch of its life microns left and had to seal the rim to stop any rust! I've seen Bolfs aswell are you chopping for the hell of it sort the engine out first then think cosmetics!

I'm with Wayne, I like the white one. Would look a lot cleaner with the front number plate removed though  :cool:

I'm with Wayne, Jack and Dom.

That white one is just about the sexiest VW I have ever seen.

From this angle it looks like an R32 coupe almost with the sloping rear roof line. Put some 4wd and a DSG in that and I think I would be in love.

I too like the Gora look. I would keep it standard though and not go for the crazy aftermarket bumpers

if you want it to look like a golf, buy a golf.
if you want it to look like a bora, buy a bora.

-1

You can't buy bora hatchbacks and you can't buy golf coupes/saloons.

Modifying our cars is what makes them different and it's half the fun.

My mate has a Vento with the mk3 golf front end. He's forever flashing me and i never notice who it is til late as it just looks like any other (slammed admitedly) mk3 golf. Would just blend in with the mass of mk4 golfs imo :undecided:

talking about cross breeds and the like I do like the MkV Jetta GLI that they have in the states. They look really good plus they have the extra space in the boot. Wish they released it here. Or an estate MKV GTi.

Bora front end swaps should be reserved for Golf estates.
