Sickest VW i no, exept obviously my mums VW Sharan!

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Scott - 28-12-2011

Still not tired of the VAG word filter lmao

Is that a Jetta badge I see on the back?

The wheels are definitely growing on me mate! Car's looking good Wink Standard having Hannah sat in the car while you're taking photos too haha

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - stevieg - 28-12-2011

the 2 of my favourite volks are the sharan vr6 (old one) nice family car then a little bit of a monster when your bored lol and the corraddo


got to admit i aint a fan of the wheels but its your car and if you like them fair play Smile

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Jacko - 28-12-2011

Old school Corrado's are mental. I love them

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Dan! - 13-01-2012

Nothing too exciting but im planning to change the wheel fitment a bit tomorrow. Got 2 3mm spacers, 2 6mm spacers and currently running 15mm rear adapters and 20mm fronts. Thinking im gonna put the 20mm adapters from the front onto the back making +5mm more at the back, then stick the 15mm adapters onto the front and put a 6mm spacer in there too, making it +1mm at the front. OR I might stick the 6mm spacers on the back and the 3mm's on the front, that might be a bit naughty though...... Also dropping the front another 10mm and probably raising the rear 5mm or so to accomodate the extra girth at the back. Also looking at 1* camber shims for the rear. Hmmmmmmmm. Il get before and after photos whatever I do though Big Grin

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Dan! - 14-01-2012

...............And thats why you suck :p

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Foxy-jim - 14-01-2012

Go for that stance! Hoping to get some nice stance on my 306, 14" banded steels and nice and low!

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Toms306 - 15-01-2012

Dan! Wrote:...............And thats why you suck :p

I agree it looks good that low.....but I scrape the front bumper (and towbar!) at standard height lol, so you couldn't drive that anywhere!! ....I am thinking about a bit of lowerage though. ninja

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Dan! - 17-01-2012

The cars filthy but I put my +6mm rear spacers on lat night and raised the rear about 6/7mm to compensate. So arch gap is about the same but shes pokeyer lol Also assesed the arch damage over the weekend, conclusion - lots.....

Got paint flaking off badly on both rears and the front left was there when I got the car but I sanded it down at the weekend to see how rusty it was. Its pretty bad but I may just silver hammerite it and see how it goes, looks better than rust thats for sure lol

Il be fitting my +3mm front spacers tonight and might get some proper whole car photos 8)

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Toms306 - 17-01-2012

I'm confused....did you just ruin all your arches by fitting wheels that are too big? Tongue

I've lost bits of my front arches.....huge lumps fall out everytime I was it lol.....why the hell didn't VW coat them in something rust proof like the 306s are! Hmm

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Foxy-jim - 17-01-2012

That looks awesome mate!

Sortofyes. lol The fronts arent my fault though and the rears arent too bad tbh, il just have to blend the paint in at some point (when its not 0*c) and be more careful.

Thanks man! Almost happy with it now, just got to bring the front down another 5mm at the weekend after iv fitted my engine raisers and done my chassis notch then get a smooth front rubstrip :romance-inlove:

Tbh, I prefer function in an elegant form..... ninja

And lol Dan, it does look good though!! (from a distance where you cant see the arches Tongue )

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Curt - 17-01-2012

Looking good man! Cool

Erm, like galvanise them like all VAG's have been for years? Mine was covered by Audi's anti-corrosion warranty for 12 years - not sure if it's the same for all VAGaygay's. Obviously they have a million reasons they won't rectify certain faults, like external influence or insufficient care as they put it.

Still, a fair few people have had an independent inspection settle in their favour.

I'm pretty sure golfs aren't galvsnised, they rust within about 5 or 6 years of being made! And all the ones 10th years plus have bubbly rusty arches....

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - THE_Liam - 17-01-2012

No rot on my Octavia and that's 10 year old...

I've had 14 of the things, and currently own the Audi equivalent, I think I should know?!

Mine has NO rust anywhere, and it's 13 years old. Once agian, I'm afraid to say, you're talking bollocks.

Sorry Dan, I'll be quiet now.

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - cwspellowe - 17-01-2012

Can I just say I was one of the ones who talked you into those wheels...

Looks epic now mate. Actually epic. Just glad i'm not the one who has to drive it!

You've had 14 mk4s?

Anyway, every mk4s I've looked at had rusty arches and as you can see from dans...his does too. Guess you must have been lucky with yours.....

Search rusty arch on mkivs.net if you don't believe me......

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - londondan86 - 21-01-2012

Nice looking car that mate, wheels are mint. Is it the tdi130 model? any plans performance wise?

Re: VW Bora..... #vagcontent - Toms306 - 21-01-2012

It's a .tdi 100 lol. Tongue ....mines a 130bhp model....Butn I'd rather have the spec of dans!
