Ok lads here is my 03 V6 Bora picked it up last jan 08 and have made a few changes to it since,it was originally a UK car.

Spec when i got it.

OEM Xenons

Black recaro leather interior (heated mmmm)

Climate control

Cruise control

Koni coilovers

Rear window and rear passenger windows tinted.

17" long beach Alloys

And all the usual high line bells and whistles.

What i changed straight away

R32 steering wheel (from my old golf)

BBS RCs 18x8 ones not the anni ones (also from my old golf)

Full R32 alu trim

R line gear knob

Front and back colour coded VW badges (sprayed myself as these cant be bought for the bora)

Stubby aerial

Headlight protectors (since replaced with Lamin-X film)

At this stage the car was dyno'd at 211bhp but the desire for more power was always there,so last week i hit NS racing to have the VF stage 1 kit i bought from Alex fitted.

Alright Paddy hows the form? Well i hope.

Got the light sorted no problems,turns out the ballast had got a little wet as the weather was really bad when i got home,i removed it and dried it over night indoors and then relocated it to the inner wing with some heavy duty doublesedied tape,been working a treat ever since!

I meant to give Raj a shout on it to let him know the story but i've been flat out busy.The car is driving great and i'm well happy with it.Had it on a Dyno last week and got 270bhp,a little down on what i was expecting to be honest,its still a decent figure - what you think?
