Exterior

Well as you can see theres a fair amount of mods. All the VW GLI parts are EXTREMELY rare and expensive. They are only available from America where the Jetta 20th Anniversary GLI was sold - similar to the 25th Anniversary Golf over here.

Overall the exterior is in excellent condition with a few points to note - there is a small "pinhole" dint in the OSR door and there is a very minor scuff on the rear bumper both were there when I bought it but have not bothered me as can only be seen when looking. There is also a small dint on the NSF arch which should easily pull out. This happened a few weeks ago when parked at University (This is the main reason I'm not taking it with me as I cannot bear it to get damaged). Obviously inline with its age there are a few scratches but does look fantastic when clean and I personally feel its the best colour in the MK4 range. Overall the car looks fantastic and I'm sure anyone that has seen it will couch for it.

Interior

The interior is very nice with the heated cream leather and climate control. Everything works fine and is nice and clean - I dont smoke and neither did the previous owner! The seats are excellent with very very little wear and have been treated to Autoglym leather cleaner/conditioner every month. It has two sets of mats, cream VW mats which I use for shows and then black overmats. The Anniversary clocks look much better and has a lovely ambience at night with the clocks and W8 light.

Engine

The engine is totally standard and has not been fiddled with at all. All runs smoothly, starts first time everytime. Has mainly been used on the current 40 trip to Uni not around town. It has a camchain so will never need cambelt changes liek most. Pulls cleanly and smoothly as you would expect with the mileage.

Chassis

As said the car is on Weitec coilovers. Its currently down 70mm but can go about 30mm lower if you wish. I have NEVER had any rubbing from the wheels and for me its at an ideal height for daily driving. It gets over most speedbumps without any trouble and the sump/subframe etc has never hit the floor so no damage. The TT arb goes under the driveshaft so no rubbing, The Neuspeed rear ARB makes the handling fantastic and really does give people a shock when they see a Bora on rails. Brakes are excellent and were a great improvement over the standard 288's. Plenty of life left in them as the front discs were near new and the rest little use. The wheels are in very good condition with NO kerbing. Theres a few stonechips on them and the OSR wheels has a chip out of the paint when removing a centre cap. They were refurbed when I bought them in a slight grey colour so not the usual corrosion of Anni wheels.

Well sorry for the essay so here's a few pictures:

Lovely car mate but I'm only after a GTI.

Just to point out the front plate is now on the front bumper below the rubstrip and not in the window.

Tom

I can vouch that this is imo probably the best bora in the uk, well i think it is, it stunning to look at, and drives superb, has all the rite mods and relly looks the part i shall be sad to see this go and i know if i had the money i would have had it off you tom

Dan

Getting a lot of car for your money here!!! suprised it's not gone already, would love to be able to run something like this, gets a lot of attention everywhere! Looks great, drives great and handles amazingly for what it is! Would be spending a lot more than that to build this car. Personally don't no why he'd even dream of selling. Very well looked after aswell, he cleans this car more than he drives it! Will be sad to see it go.

Good luck with the sale!

Oh dear Ben its called the Ignition! Does remind me though the car was VAGCOM scanned a few months back when the Anniversary clocks were fitted and had NO faults listed.

Tom

Cheers Jack, insurance isnt bad at all tbh, I'm 20 and its £800 when I renew at the end of the month ;)

Just a few other bits I have thought of for everyone else-

- The car has had auto locking (all doors lock over 10mph), auto windows (press and hold lock or unlock on the remote key and all windows go up or down and alarm beep where the alarm beeps when the car is locked. This was all enabled when the clocks were fitted using VAGCOM.

- The climate control fans have been checked and are working fine - its a common fault for them to fail but mine work fine - off when no climate is on or set to ECON, slow speed when AUTO is set and then both low / high speed when the car get hot. And it has been awesome in the recent hot weather. Its ICE COLD!

- I have all the owners documents and wallet. Also have 2 x remote flip key (1 spare) and the plastic key which is needed to get spares cut. I have the radio code aswell.

- The car is currently delocked but I have the two key barrells if you would prefer to put them back in.

I really like this and am so very tempted, not had my Polo long but have constantly been in two minds whether to get a more grown up looking car-this is defo the sort of thing i'd have in mind if i did.

Great looking Bora
