I'm thinking blue, but darker, more subtle. Whichever wheels I get lol

17" for comfort, 18"s for show

I've got a set of 17" TT rims on my LC, and another set of 17" Antera 309's which i'll refurb in the new year. Had 18"s on and found the ride quite harsh, and that was on stock suspension lol. Plus with 17"s you can lower it more on a higher profile, as suj said above, its all about comfort

Yeah and tyres seem to be easier to get and cheaper for 17s,
They will be what I go for most probably unless I can get hold of 18s cheap

Arun nice buy fella! I'm gonna have to go bloody diesel at some point, just cant decide between the usual VAG (bora, golf, toledo, cordoba) lot or a BMW 320D. Something tells me i'm gonna get raped on repairs if i go the BMW route, they seem to like popping turbo's and injectors!

Is this the 90bhp model? Only reason i ask is that its not got a red 'I'.

Drove a tuned 90bhp golf and she was no slouch tbh

Cheers, Paul!
Yeah she is 90, compared to the Ibiza, it is a big step up! Still have the remap to come aswell lol

So the first update!
Debadging begins:


Vinyl comes out for the badges
Before:


Debadged and vinyled!


Because I'm childish


Front badge done


Mirrors vinyled black
Couldn't get the chrome covers off, glued on like crazy and don't want to break anything




Badges and mirrors won't be staying gloss black, just did it for now because I don't like chrome and I was bored lol

suj said:

awesome, I wanna debadge mine, whats best way to do it? dental floss and heat?
looks awesome

I used cotton string from my mums clothes repair kit haha, I'm sure your ma has one as well , heated the badge up using a hair dryer and went away with the string.
Then used Sticky Stuff remover spray, just needs polishing up now.

Nice, bet its a big improvement from the Ibiza! You could get that dent in the bootlid pulled out with a specialised dent company. Should only cost about £25-30. IMO i would not fit a badgless grill, looks out of place i think. Good luck with the new motor!

Click to expand...

Cheers mate, massive improvement! expecially now I've got all the goodies, like electric windows, central locking etc lol, Still get out of the car and go to press the locking pins down on the doors haha.
yeah I'll get a few quotes for the dent or try doing it myself

Won't be fitting a badgeless grill, only did that on photoshop to test my skills

ABT grills a good look in my opinion

Click to expand...

I've seen them but not a fan, prefer the vents

patchb said:

I strongly disagree with the ABT grill, looks Gash.

Standard Grill FTW on a bora.

Get on Automodder.com and have a play around with the bora/jetta on there if you haven't already.

Awesome site!
Having a play now

Came up with this:

suj said:

TT Comps, never been a fan, don't like the centre, dunno why lol

Click to expand...

haha, I love them, expensive though! I've seen other 17" TT wheels cheap, which I might get for now

Or these:


(I wish) <3

arun, was the badge on the boot easy enough to vinyl. ive sprayed mine and the paint chippin already so want a more permanant fit! maybe i come over and get the toerag in your garage and you do it for me lol???

Click to expand...

It's pretty easy now as I've done it a few times, would rather spray tbh, gives a better finish!

But If you do want it vinyled I don't mind doing it

Arun, have a look on my fb for Optimus, our mate Sean's blue bora tdi baby blue wheels with silver i'm not feeling need something stronger to stand out

Click to expand...

Couldn't find it , pm me it on fb
They won't be baby blue don't worry (I'm not gay ), was looking at darker colours to contrast with the silver

EDIT: Found it, not really a fan of that lol......He's done a decent job though

Likes:
the colour
the stance
the workmanship

dislikes:
the wheels
the front bumper, only because of the wing thingys on the sides lol
the graffiti

I remember seeing it at inters, as suj said, fair play to him
