nivag27 5 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Nice Looking motor mate, I would quite like one of these for my family car aswell and I also think the gold looks pretty good especially in the modded photo. (Have you still got the vr) Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Gold looks good with all the black roof etc etc. plans....I like!!! put a golf front on it? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Gora LOL never heard that before. I reckon do it gloss, flat black no metallic Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rich 3 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 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:A few photo's I took tonight because I was bored [] Let me know what you think guys.
