Title: VW Bora build not bought :D
Post by: jamie1989 on 03 September 2011, 20:04

Soo its been about a Year now and my Bora is still going strong from when I bought it.
Life started as 1 little 1.6 but then a 1.8t conversion happened! and boy can it move :D

It looked like this when I purchased her, A little rough but I loved her

I have replaced the crappy seats too for leathers, which im happy with I just need the door cards finished.

The mercedes alloys are for sale shortly, I have purchased another set of RS6's untill I find a decent set of LM reps or something different without adaptors.
I have loved every minute of owning this car. During the last year I have replaced the turbo, stage 1 R-Tech remap, Decat, 3inch cat back exhaust, TDI dogbone from Awsome gti, purchased a new clutch kit, Pionner DVD player, Leather seats, Merc alloys, new coil overs, top mounts, CAi and plenty more to come.

What you all think?? Not bad from a 1.6 :D

Thought I've seen this car about a few times. Did you recently have it detailed or a wash or something. Saw your car at cwmbach.

Even more important I sure I saw you having words with Mr.plod the other day. Naughty naughty  :grin:
