nah i think your car looks sweet as it is mate.

Leave well alone  :cool:

if it took you this long to get your engine sorted imagine how long a Bolf conversion would take you!!  :grin: :grin:

I personally don't like the bolf look so would say no, also if you're going to bolf then, wont that make your R32 bumper redundant?

Is there much price difference? Or availablity of the bora front end?

Think your car looks the nuts as it is also   :cool:

I can do a bolf front end conversion in a weekend, I would just get the bits and spray them whilst my current bits are on, I think I prefer my front end now but its just that its so common and yes it would mean I would have to sell my current bumper but its genuine so it would go in a flash on edition.

What bumper would you replace the R32 one with mate?

Never used to be keen on the Bora fronts on a Golf
But I reckon now on the right car it really can be pulled off well  :smiley:

id probably get an r32 style one for the bora front

so it would be a rola?

so if you were to put bora arches on to make it look like a bora, you would then put an R32 style bumper on the front, making it look like a golf again.  :huh:

don't like the front end of that Bora; looks gash IMO.  Dont think the colour helps much

i think it looks pretty sweet, i reckon it'll look better on ash's as its black
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: GTi-Matt on 31 March 2008, 13:39
never a bora front end.

i no u like to be different ash but dont change the front end. :cry: :cry:
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: Ridg on 31 March 2008, 13:58
doesn't work IMO

if you look at ash's golf the lights are round so go with the round cut out of the bumper, on the boro it just looks wrong
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: MarkS on 31 March 2008, 15:28
I like it  :smiley:
Looks a bit meaner than the golf front with the r32 bumper in my opinion
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: Ashmond on 31 March 2008, 15:38

I like the standard golf front end TBH.....

I can't stand Bora or Bolfs, TBH. 

& don't understand people who want to 'rep-rify' their Golfs.  Each to their own though, I guess.  :wink:

What is that ridiculous flap thing on the bonnet?
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: AlanD on 02 April 2008, 15:47
Its called a bonnet bra and I think they look sh!t as well, I just dont see how people think that looks nice. Some people come out with "oh but it prevents stone chips", its all bollocks, what about the rest of the car?

Some people like them tho lol
Title: Re: To Bolf Or Not to Bolf?
Post by: BobbyT on 02 April 2008, 16:21
i still cant make my mind up about Bolf's, some i have seen look the sh!t then others look odd, not sure why, might be colour/wheels or something else  :undecided:
