New Car For the Wife

[Andy665 0]

After selling the Audi a lot quicker than we expected decided on a Bora.

 

I've had a couple of V5's before and whilst not the most exciting drive I always found them to be incredibly refined and comfortable and definitely a better looking car than the MK4 Golf.

 

Found this and bought it today, absolutely mint apart from a scuff on the drivers door mirror, just need to drop it by 40-60mm, stick some 17" or 18" rims on it and fit a Milltek.

 

Going to use G-Mans Passat for inspiration.

 

Paid £4900 for it - a lot cheaper than comparable Golfs

 

2000 W VOLKSWAGEN BORA 2.3 V5 4 Door Saloon with FULL Leather

Metallic Ink Blue with Black Leather and Wood Trim, 43048 Miles, FULL Service History, Power Steering, BBS Alloy Wheels, Remote Central Locking, Digital Climate Controlled Air Conditioning, Front & Side Airbags, Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, Heated Front Seats, Radio Cassette Player with Multi Stack CD Changer, Rear Colour Coded Boot Spoiler, £5250

New car for the missus? Sounds like you got a good swap there! ;)

 

I like Boras, I must admit. I might get a 1.8T Sport as my next car.

Nice looking motor... love that colour too! Thats an awesome price too :shock:

 

The g/f is thinking about a replacement for her Yaris - something like this could be a real contender 8)

Great cars, cant fault my 1.8T now I've uprated it a bit, but it was a dissapointment when I changed from a chipped G60.

 

 

Good price to buy, but it is a little sadening cos I got mine new 3 and half years ago...

Very nice, not a car that i've really paid much attention to before but it looks good and a great spec for that price! :)

Been browsing tonight and ordered a few bits and pieces, front valence fog lights, Angel Eyes, chrome instrument rings and gear lever gaiter and hopefully a winning bid on some 18" RS4 alloys, want to try and keep an OE+ look

[GrahamU 6]

Dont go for the angel eyes, they make the lights as bad as the corrado's

[Andy665 0]

I'll give them a try, soon bin them via E-Bay if I don't like them.

Oh dear, the buying has begun, set of brand new OE R32 rims bought today, Passat W8 interior light, Milltek ordered, nice to spend monay on something other than the Rado's

Andy665, lol! I love the look of a well sorted Bora look forward to the pictures

[billinjah 0]

yup love them boras guy at work has one the same colour very striking when polished up!

[GrahamU 6]

If the Milltek is the same style tailpipe as mine you'll need a 4 motion rear valence with the exhaust cutout.

4Motion front and rear valences are already on order, surprised at how reasonably priced they are (£68 for both)

That's cause there's no Corrado tax on them.
