New skirts for the Bora en route. Now to C/C or not?

[_Tom]

I have some Golf anniversary skirts en route as i have a wee dent in my sill which pisses me off. Anni skirts are the slimmest you can get to the sill but im not sure whether to colour code them? I like contrast and dont want to do my front and rear valences. Now, shall i colour code them? Or Satin black? Or even textured and black like standard stylee?

The skirts on a bora -

Or a Golf -

And the borat.

Im thinking textured black?

 

[fUbAr]

Red.

 

[Gorms]

Colour coded tbf!

 

[_Tom]

I just think colour coded could look a little odd with unpainted valences?

Here is colour coded with unpainted valences. Not a good pic to show it though really -

 

[Christopher]

Black, since the front and rear bumpers are already black at the bottoms.

like chris said about black bottoms

 

[Gareth]

yep, black

 

[_Tom]

Think i swaying towards black tbh..

 

[chriscummins7]

when red cars are too red it looks kinda weird (if you understand ha).

Go black mate, you'll never go back. (probably)

 

[Winston]

Not a fan of the skirts.

Why not just paint the lower half of the sill black to match the bumpers?

Dented silll..

 

[Daniel]

Repair the sill?

 

[_Tom]

Repair the sill?

Went to see dent magic down the old paint works. They want to cut about ten holes to hit it out then just grommit them. They say it'll only probs be 80% out too. Then i'll have to replace them in a years time due to rust no doubt! haha

 

[Daniel]

I just think your car looks better than any of the others you've posted and don't want you to fit side skirts! lol.

Dent man will butcher the sills, the metals too thick and it will probably end up worse! Get it to a decent bodyshop. Probably only cost about £100 to get a sill repaired.

Yeah i'm not the biggest fan normally tbh. If it wasnt dented, it wouldnt be happening. Ive got a holiday coming up id rether waste my money on that.. Any recommendations Daniel san? I dont mind paying £200 odd if its a good job tbh.

His bodyshop is based in wells, let me know if you want his details

Pm them over if you could chap?

 

[Daniel]

FLOL!! Can you not see that?

FAO If you need re-spray in/near Bristol.

First of all - big thanks to Daniel on here for his recommendation of DK Cars & Bikes for body work and re-sprays in Bristol.

Had my front bumper and near side wheel re-furb this week and am absolutely delighted with the results:

Wish I had bothered to take a before picture of the bumper as it was a right state, (previous owner had it resprayed by Stevie Wonder and the paint started to de-laminate!)

However Dave at DK sorted it all out and now my exteriors are 'near' perfect again for £320 all in, which is an awesome price for quality work.

Also, took the chance yesterday to re-route my cold air induction feed to the front (something I've want to do for ages), it took awhile as there is little/no room and am massive lol.

...and with this clever cost saving heater baffle fix below, its been a good weekend:

[_Tom]

Well, black they will be. Popped round a mates last night as he had just fitted his skirts which are the same as mine -

 

[Winston]

Thats changed my mind... Do it

 

[will.clio!]

Black imo, and are they vette wheels on the golf?

Being done matey.

Yes, yes they are..

 

[Nafoff]

[_Tom]

No im alright now thanks mate. I've got some skirts sat here and after seeing my mates, theyre going on.

 

[Dweeb]

Whatever you do make it black at te bottom

 

[_Tom]

Finally fitted. Only have a shite pic but I went for textured black like the valences..

 

[J0sh]

Such a nice car, looks mint.

 

[Jason_E]

Cant see it well but it actually looks pretty good atm.

 

[_Tom]

Thanks gents. I'll have to get the proper camera out. This was a flashless iphone when it was getting dark..

 

[Djw Dave]

Looks good. Like your mates mk4

 

[jesus]

Looks good

 

[Daniel]

I bloody love this car.

 

[MarcoB]

They are cool.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks great tbh!!

 

[Coby.]

Looks great.... Wheels have made a massive difference on this.

 

[Philip.]

Awesome tbh.
Looks really good.

 

[_Tom]

Thanks! I really wasnt sure on skirts at first but in the metal they look great. The cars getting somewhere now. I always seem to think about selling it but that'd be silly after the money ive spent. I had my R32 ARB and polybushes fitted at the weekend too so its starting to handle pretty well now. I can actually use the horses i have under the bonnet..

I have some nice red BBS centre caps en route that should be with my by the weekend too.

 

[Philip.]

The centre caps should look sweet I think!
I've been looking at R32's this week as the Type R is getting boring

 

[_Tom]

A R32 will bore you too tbh. Theyre great cars but hardly exciting. My mate has one and even my Bora will litterally fly past it.
