My Bora V6 4motion - its BORAing beige...


Recommended Posts

I though it was about time I posted up about my new acquisition, so here goes.

Me and a couple of friends (Claire and Dave) went on a road trip 2 weekends ago to look at a few cars and I ended up coming back home with this Bora:

So the spec of it as I picked it up is:

51 plate

52k miles

17" long beaches

Black heated leather recaros front and back

Factory Sat Nav + Full FIS

Climate Control

List of things I want to do:

Cruise Control

3 Blink Indicator convenience module (maybe)

Xenon Headlights (may just go for HID's due to price!)

R32 ARB's

R32 suspension

R32 interior trim and peddles

R32 Steering Wheel

BMC CDA induction kit

Miltek Cat Back system

There is other stuff I want to do as well but that all depends on funds:

Polished black centred Porsche split rims

US spec. boot

Votex front bumper (maybe the rear as well if I can find them)

Black badgeless grill

Black mirrors, roof and B pillar's

Miltek sports cats

Let me know what you think and any ideas you have.

swap the fake wood dash panels

That will be done with all the R32 interior trim and R32 steering wheel' date=' though the wood look isn't that bad.

oh and a turbo'd r32 plopped in hahaha

Cash, cash, cash though. If I win the lottery then watch this space. ;)

Cheers guy's, don't really like the Golf front look (Gora) so will be sticking with the Joey modded Bora lights and HID's, along with black grill. Hopefully pick a grill up at Ultimate Dubs.

What colour black should I do the grill/mirrors though? Matt black or a gloss black? Metallic?

looks gd m8 defo r32 zorst on it looks like u got a bit of a bargin gutted mine don have factory sat nav looks well cool what mpg u gettin in it

I didn't pay the price in the window either ;)

Not sure on the R32 exhaust, would mean a different bumper and its not an R32 so I'd like to keep it a bit subtle at the back. Boot and bumper scuff is being painted next week so the badges will be coming off of the boot for that, should be a nice clean ass by the end of it! :)

On the trip home after picking it up (London to South West) I'm sure I got around 34mpg but I'm struggling with anything over 27/28mpg now! LOL

Update

Had the day off today so thought I'd give the Bora a good clean, clay and wax. Couldn't believe the amount of crap that came off when I clayed the whole car! Got rid of all the tar spots I had on it too. Also sorted out a few scratches that were bugging me too so I'm happier about the paint now.

Anyway, here's some photos:
