The Bora front end isn't classed as aftermarket as the parts are OE, and yes it's my Bolf.

Did it roll out of the factory like that? Unless you can say yes then in the insurer's eyes it will be classed as a modification.

Didn't say it wasn't a mod, just the fact that it's OE parts.

In nearly 20yrs of driving, I have only once told an insurance company of mods, and thats on the current Mk2.

Apologies, that'll teach me to skim read threads :grin:

Most of the Bolfs in that album with aggressive front ends have a Bora R bumper. IIRC, Japan got an R version of the Bora and you can order the bumper from VW. Pricey, but it looks so damn good  :drool: One or two of the cars in that folder have modified a normal R32 bumper to fit the Bora front, probably by joining the upper portion of a regular bumper to the lower portion of the R32 bumper. The regular bumper looks great too with a splitter and some lows :afro:

Ah i see, thats good news. I didnt realise there was a Bora R.

checked it out. that seems to be the best looking front end and as its an OE part then thats even better. keeping with tradition and all that!
But with getting the R bumper do you think it would need skirts too?

Keep us updated with the progress on the Bolf Lewy. How many cars do you have!?
