VW Bora - Winter Gathering - New Wheels!

[Dunx90]

My old Bora. Awesome cars when modified

[RDH]

What sort of MPG do you get from it? Looks in great condition but also looks incredibly boring.

[GeorgeH]

Much prefered the clio. But if your happy. Looks neat.

[AllanHardie]

Not sure about mpg yet, it's getting taxed first thing tomorrow when the post office is open, only drive it a mile or 2 on the test drive, hopefully won't look too boring after I get the modding bug for it.

Would've definitely gone for the V5 myself! Let's see what you do with it

Its all about the Bora 1.8T. Rare and quick with a few simple tweaks. Nobody ever expects a quick Bora..haha

[.Adam.]

I want a Bora just to plod about in.

[AllanHardie]

Bought a cup holder from you pull it in inverkiething for £6 , a 1.8 T was what I ideally wanted due to the ability to easily get power increases but insurance ruined that plan.

[TomSx]

How fast are you planning to mod this one? Slow process or starting to gather the bits? I do love a good Bora. I should have sold mine to someone far far away as i keep seeing it.

They are poop on MPG, my mate had one, 25ish average, as low as 22.

Highest we had was 34 IIRC

still a great car though, his bora was my first taste of german. quality was great, and it was only a bora!

I had a 2.0 8v mk4 Golf for a few months a little while ago. Nice cars and a nice place to be just not very quick.

Been looking at VAGs again recently, something with the 1.8T engine in though

Will be slow progress on it, due to saving up for the things I want for it, being a student and not having a job is the worst ever.

My mpg is sitting at 33mpg ATM, lowest it's ever been in the past week is 32mpg.

[AllanHardie]

So got a lovely present from my girlfriend, BBS 2 piece split rims !



2 are split up and another 2 to do still, unsure on the colours I'm going to do them, they are 18" 8j et20 front and 9j et24 rear.

Ordering coilovers at the start of next month to get her sitting much lower.

[twiztid]

Not bad go a mad colour! An get it to stand out ahaha

[Kieran..]

£2k insurance on a 2.0 8v!! Your mad And they're gonna rape you more when coilovers and wheels are on

[TomSx]

Do a fresh silver imo. Or Polished dishes with anth centres.

[AllanHardie]

£1700 on insurance, i paid £2k for the clio for my first year so for a better spec and a tad more power im paying less than i was.

Im totally unsure on colour, they dish is kerbed and has some corrosion so unsure if i will be able to polish them of have to fill the kerbing and paint them a colour.

[TomSx]

What were they off? Not bad offsets tbh.

[Craigus]

Silver wheels.

Please.

[AllanHardie]

They came off a bmw 5 series, accoring to the person i got them off they were a £5k optional extra, and accoring to the old woman in the alloy refurb place they were around £550 per wheel when they first came out, my girlfriend paid very very little for the wheels even though they are genuine.
