Majority of VAG boys have wheels which are equal value if not more than the car! Amount of £1000 cars on Edition 38 with BBS RS's etc etc... People bum them because they've got nice wheels... the car is still a shitter which is s**t to drive but hey, if that's what they're in to!

Cliosport members are out with that tarring brush again

My splits are worth half of what my Mk1 scirocco was bought for and my BM has steel wheels that cost half the value I paid for it :approve:.. What ever floats your boat.. I <3 Wheels

Back on topic... Moaaaaar pics tom :approve:

_Tom · Dec 2, 2010

I'll have to get pics the weekend when my car hasnt got 400 miles of dirt on..lol

Thats one pic but as its dirty and on a iphone you cant really see the pokes. (note this was taken about 10 mins ago and no snow! Must be the only place in the UK at the mo! haha)

Jason_E · Dec 2, 2010

Sit's like mine now

And I don't have snow either! <3 the red.

_Tom · Dec 3, 2010

Yeah tis much better mate. You like the red? Many people say they hate the idea of a red bora then see it and like it..lol

Just ordered me some 312mm TT front brakes and a new half leather Toledo Interior.

Electric too! All for the grand sum of a £100 in mint condition. Much better option than the recaros imo!

Christopher · Dec 3, 2010

Ballin'

JoeyD · Dec 3, 2010

Oft! That interior's mint!

_Tom · Dec 3, 2010

Well its no race car so doesnt need extreme seats...and the MK4 Recaros arent actually that comfy and cost far far too much. My later spec "sport" seats feel nicer than the Recaro's..lol

Goodj · Dec 3, 2010

Toledo interior eh?

They're a bit good, the electric memory versions were taken out of later versions though because they had a habit of going duff.

Still, V5's FTW

_Tom · Dec 3, 2010

These are electric but not memory. Just back and forward really..lol! I just could beleive the price when i spoke to the bloke. Sold! haha

Jason_E · Dec 3, 2010

I've been searching for a nice interior for ages! All £500+

Hate you.

_Tom · Dec 3, 2010

You can have my recaro stylee seats for £30 if you want haha

Nafoff · Dec 3, 2010

lol at the hate early on...
good purchases sir

Jason_E · Dec 3, 2010

Ian_182 · Dec 4, 2010

Your car is looking good mate...

MikeB · Dec 5, 2010

_Tom · Dec 5, 2010

Think this pic shows you why not to use a sponge!

Nice car though.

Gaz. · Dec 5, 2010

That looks spot on spacing wise Tom.

Haha I don't actually use a sponge and the paints good nick. That's the iPhone struggling the sun. I couldn't be assed to use my proper cam.

And cheers chaps. My new brakes should arrive next week.

Daniel · Dec 5, 2010

Looks mint mate

_Tom · Dec 6, 2010

Cheers chaps. Im happy now and not going to be playing with the ride. Just had it 4 wheel "Frickin" laser alligned too which has made no end of difference!

Just want me brakes to arrive now..

_Tom · Dec 17, 2010

312MM TT brakes have arrived and been fitted. They seem much betterer and fill the wheels a bit better.

Not the best pics. My 4mortion rear valance has just arrived also, just in time for my visit to Charlie at prospeed on Monday. Having a cat back made for it. Going with a silance system as im old but will make the rear end look much better imo -

SC03OTT · Dec 17, 2010

I really like this car.

BIFCAIDS · Dec 17, 2010

looks sweet

_Tom · Dec 17, 2010

Cheers chaps. Its getting somewhere now. Not looks wise but goes and stops pretty well. Next up is bodywork and new wheels but that can wait for our nice winter to be over.

Fletcher · Dec 17, 2010

It looks great in the last pic.

Jason_E · Dec 17, 2010

Grum's Bora is gorgeous.

Goodj · Dec 17, 2010

looks good tom, looking forward to seeing ideas on wheels

_Tom · Dec 17, 2010

Nope thats not my car. Its exactly the same as mine will be come Monday.

Ph-reebone, really not sure what to do tbh! Its paining my brain. I almost ordered some Rota's the other day then bottled it as they cheap and becoming common. I just dont know..lol

Im going to order some R32 skirts and not sure whether to R32 the front or get a US strip..

Jason_E · Dec 17, 2010

I so nearly ordered a set of White Grids the other week. Bottled it for the same reason!

BIFCAIDS · Dec 17, 2010

Its been done but corvette turbines and the chrome bits on the trims would make it epic

_Tom · Dec 17, 2010

Grids is what i almost bought.

Bifcaids i cant, a mate has this lol -

BIFCAIDS · Dec 17, 2010

i will have a think with regards to wheels, i spose it all depends on fundage really. you are right, rota's are becoming very common on VAG's now.
with regards to the front end, i would personally say get the US/JAP rub strip on there, for the change it makes the price is unbelievable, plus its not an R32 so lets not try and impersonate it. (but its up to you)

and whilst we are on the subject of the front end, can you give me the EXACT details of how he has his plate mounted, i need to get mine re-mounted asap.

Yeah i'm going to go US front and i need some R32 skirts. Im pretty sure he's just bonded it to the standard grill but with a spare to swap over. I'll txt him now though.

Also managed to get my 4mo rear valence and exhaust on yesterday. Went to Prospeed in Cardiff following their rep they have and i must say i'm very impressed. Exhaust is exactly how i wanted. Quiet with no gas and a nice deep note when you do. When cruising you'd think it was standard.

I've just got to go and get it a sitting a little higher but with the weather yesterday i had no chance to hang around! A 45min journey took me 5 hours! haha!

Not the best pic but

Silent_Scone · Dec 21, 2010

Looks meaty from the rear
