gave the interior a quick clean and treated the leather, also took a few daylight pics - it's far from clean but chances are it won't be scrubbed up mint for a while yet due to the weather.

it's booked in to get a few little paint jobs done in the next few weeks.

Looking Pimp - for a white barge :lol:

You get any hassle for the diddy front plate?

What tyres you got on there?
  • Author

yes Kerrly i do get a bit off 'unwanted attention' for the plate.

tyres are 225/40/18's bud.

well the early nights and rain has stopped and real progress of late but i've got a few little bits done, got my Forge DV 'tuning' kit through and fitted a new yellow spring with a shim and it drives much smoother and dumps better although quieter.

then i painted my rear cluster surrounds to match the car - not sure i'm set on it now it's done so they may go gloss black in the future

another marmite mod is my boost gauge, i had a cheapy one in there so i got another cheap ish 30psi gauge with a red needle and blue back light but the face was white and i didn't like it so i retrimmed the face in matching urban camo and stitched the -20 / 0 /10,20 and 30 psi marks with some yellow and red thread. again not entirely sure on it, i may ditch the whole camo pillars and pod and do something else but it'll do for now.

thanks bud :-D

Olly

bit of reverse rake going on!? and i think you need to get some diffrence pedals as they look boring like the 6n2 pedals! TT ones perhaps? apart from that, coming along nicely!

mate lovin this white looks so nice!!! good work

bora151109006.jpg

side profile looks a bit odd here....rear wheels look like they sit in more than the fronts??

is it my eyes??

This looks awesome. it would look better in my opinon if you got urself a US spec tailgate :D :D

Kuszpit :)

thanks chaps - just about to add a little update,

clarkson - thanks.

jamesb - reverse rake? the front is 5mm lower than the rear, it's just the way the bora arches are. r32 pedals are on the cards but at £75 i'll wait 'til the new year.

chrispy - what do you mean in mate? both front and rears are 8'5j with same off set and same thickness pcd adaptors - the front tyres are bald on the outer edge in these pics though (new p zeros went on saturday)

kuzpit - a tailgate mod is one of my next jobs, it won't be US but will be different.

i just got these to replace my worn mats, a little darker than expected

bora11209003.jpg

they weren't as bad as i thought, they don't look far off compared to my original vw mats

bora112091001.jpg

i wasn't keen on fitting the twist type clips for the new mats as i had the popper type fitted by vw already in place, so i swapped the clips from the old mats into the new ones

bora112091002.jpg

got a quick night time pic, i'm happy with them - the holed mat was letting it down but looks like i'll have to get the .:R pedals now!
