hi all , i know it cant be compared to a scooby in terms of speed and power , but it is a lovely motor to drive and the v6 is really smooth and torquey . i said id post some pics of it when its done . ive done the folowing mods and all was done my myself including the prep for respray .

. remove bump strip on front bumper and smoothed out
. fk side skirts
. 19 " rs6 alloys in chrome with falken 452's
. de-badged grille
. filled and smoothed bonnet where badge was
. black oem headlights
. pressed plates
. lip spoiler
. colour coded vw badge
. autobra
. wind deflectors
. respray in "harvest moon beige / gloss black roof , grille and mirrors "

im happy with how its turned out but really do miss the kick of a turbocharged motor ! so im going to put it up for sale relatively soon and replacing with a skyline r33 gts-t gonna have a go at building my dream car . thanks for looking heres some pics .

That was going soooo well til I got to the last pic

You get a lot of car for the £ with a bora, and like you say they drive really well, build quality is excellent and theyre cheap to mod. I saw a V5 Bora sell for £700 on ebay recently, not bad if you're after some cheap grunt.

round here there are 2 chavved up corsas with them on, and god knows how many vw's. They are like lexus lights, cool for about 5 minutes then look gash

Its a classic VW colour I think.

Actually I quite like it

Should be in other marques though

Ease up on him..... I would imagine it's been difficult to come on here and "out" himself

never understood the bora, they remind me of when ford did the focus saloon or Vauxhall did the astra belmont, hmmmmm.

Ant

Don't take this the wrong way but it looks like every other euro'd car just missing the beige Bentley rims for bingo.

Brun

Is it not good enough for Other Marques
What's the story with the black stuff on the front? I've seen a few cars with them and i don't get it????

Ant

Prevents stone chips apparently

Brun

..........but makes the car look utter ****e. I'll keep the chips

sorry about posting in wrong section im not good with forums ! i fancied doing a euro car for a change but the dub scene not really for me . its hard to be different and stand out in the vag scene these days , theres so many about in all colours and all styles . at least i can say i tried it . wish i had chosen different wheels now but i decided to get those to break away from all the bbs style rims ! as for the colour it is a vw colour and i think it suits it well ? i wouldnt change it :-) anyway its back to jap next time round .

I like it. loose the bra and let it all hang out... Only thing I'd change would be the grill. looks a little 1989 Vauxhall cavalier ish, but I don't know whay would look good.

It's gonna be a lot of money wasted (a bit like the Subaru ended up being) when you sell it fella

As you say you've tried it, but the cash wasted on the Impreza and the Bora would have bought you an R33 GT-r not GTst

The only VW I'd be interested in is a Transporter.

+1 I always see a good example at rother valley

yea not quite as much as the impreza your right though if only we knew how thing would pan out eh ?!

ScoobyWon't

I didn't see many last Sunday. I'd like a black Sportline, though as a dogmobile, that may be a little excessive.

Still haven't seen you up there. I'd have given you my spare wetsuit and put you in the lake with the dogs.

Jamescsti

I would ditch the bonnet bra and personally I would have removed the rear badge and had it smoothed over but too late for that now.

It looks better than I thought though.

Ant

Not enough hours in the day to cram me in a wetsuit

ScoobyWon't

They do stretch.








A little.

Yeah me too, and i have one, it's a T4 crew cab pickup 4x4, rare as rocking horse poo with diamond studs.

Not a fan of the bra, and what were you thinking when you painted the console white apart from that it looks ok if you like that sort of thing.

JESUS you sure know how to waste time and money, you really should have kept the scoob.

I suggest you try and get your impulsive nature under control, otherwise it's going to cost you an absolute fortune throughout the course of your life, in that once you get an idea in your head you just won't let go, nothing wrong with determination, you just need to work on your direction, i'm not trying to be your dad, and at least it keeps you busy.

Hope it works out for you..

Dedrater

A good technical exercise i suppose, i can understand why things like this are done, if you ever f***** it up, it's only an 11 year old motor at the end of the day and it looks like you done a good job of it.

The only constructive thing i could add is to paint the rear badge black.

Looks good, as has already been said lose the bra, and paint the mirrors too. Other than that it looks good. I bet it sounds good too, I had a V5 Bora years ago and that sounded sweet.

maybe a silly question but why smooth the front and then leave the rear ? would of looked so much better with both done imho

initialD

iTrader: (2)

truth be told i realised how much work was involved smoothing the front so didnt want to do it all again on the rear cant smooth the badge on boot as the lock for key is built in so would need solenoid etc . it doesnt sound that great imo it needs a nice exhaust system .
