then went to blackburn to pick the car up :party: only things wrong with it is, dent in the drivers door with a scratch, same scratch on the wing too, fuel door wont close, the washer jet has broke because the pipe is broke and the starter motor is making a noise on start up.. picked the car up for £1900

fitted the alpine headunit in (bloody cup holders) also ordered 2 15" MTX 8000 subs and a new box..

that one :)
-
Dealers have to supply a minimum of 3 months warranty by law.
-
haha!! what a ball ache, did you not check the coolant or anything benny???
thats fooked!!!!!
-
it was fine when i got the car. and its not like you can check the radiator because its wedged between the fans and the aircon rad, behind the bumper
-
Dealers have to supply a minimum of 3 months warranty by law.
its not a vw dealer.. its a small car lot
-
even so, there has to be a warranty right?
-
they offered 6 months at £250 which i didnt think i need. to be fair i only toook it from the dealer to my mates shop and it started pissing coolant out :angry015:
they said i shouldve checked it and that it never did that before. clearaly theres rad weld in there so they obvisly knew. winkers.
-
Benny go easy on the swearing save me keep having to change bit's that the filter misses. :smiley: :laugh:
-
I had the same problem with mine Benny. I bought mine from a small car lot, turned out the radiator was knackered after a few days of ownership. Rang the guys up and they put a genuine Audi intercooler in the next day F.O.C. I would be kicking and screaming if I were you :mad: :mad: :mad:
-
A dealer is a dealer, doesnt have to be a main VAG dealer, they all have to give a minimum 3 months warranty. Unless you have bought from some very dodgy backstreet trader who guarantees it until it goes off there forecourt!
Did you get any sort of receipt?
-
your not going to try to make this one look like a punto are you :jumping:
-
im contacting trading standards tuesday. And no haha i love my golfs design but im not going tgat extreme on the bora haha

:signLOL:
I'm only teasing Benny, but you need to get back to that dealer sharpish before you find more wrong with it.... It's not fair having someone s*** on you like that, and then tell you tough tits, they need sorting out mate.
Good luck.
-
thanks mate.
-
why did u sell the golf?
Surely its better than this?
-
because i wanted something faster :) it was better but i had issues with the gearboxs haha
-
right been out and about so havent had time to update it :)
just one thing we did last night that was tint the rear lights and removed that silly dealers sticker.
also spent about 3 hours detailing the car.
washed, claybar, t cut and then wax :D
then took some quick pictures :)

-
you need to get that lowered, fast.
and dont bolf it.
-
Paintwork looks great Benny :happy2:
But those rear lights! :surprised:
-
Its looking cool so far Benny! Lights look good, but would have been better in a black gloss IMO! :smiley: :smiley:
-
those rear lights are shocking mate............ and illegal :chicken:
-
Those lights!! :confused:
-
yeah i know im gonna do a couple of layers of lacquor on them soon :happy2:
-
Hmmm, not sure about the lights Benny, I prefered them standard TBH. Needs a healthy drop fast :happy2:
-
dont like the lights :( get it lowered asap too
-
Personally think it looked better completely standard.
-
coilovers ASAP! and those lights looked better std, you should have just lamin-xed them if you wanted a tint!.
i hope you not going to ruin another VW benny :P
-
Unmistakable Benny styling was inevitable for this one 'unfortunately'
What happened to BBS Impuls and lowering it?? :sad:
RS4's have been done to death, and the rear lights just make it look 100% chav..
Its not too late to bring it back!! So easy to get it right with this car, some lovely BBS wheels, even if they are good reps, and lower it coils, can be cheap too.. Make the paintwork mint and leave it.. You could spend less money and get a much better result...
Sorry, I know its your car and therefore nothing to do with me, and im ranting on etc.. but I feel sorry for the poor thing :confused:

agree 100%. i can see this ending in tears! BBS reps, coilovers, and a few subtle mods :happy2:
-
^^ + 1 ^^ :happy2:
-
no no no.
this will look good i can guarentee it. and as for ruining the golf i didnt ruin it at all. I just wanted something different and did that.
impuls are too expensive, and im going to get coils.. the cars going black on black with a hint of CF too..

Good stuff Benny ignore all the hater's its your car and you have your own ideas, on what looks good. Its you who has to look at it on the drive, We only have to look at it on the occasional meet at krispies. And we can always give you the wrong time and date of the meet. :laugh:

Really not hard is it..

nope! could make something close to that for very very little pennys :party:
-
Seconded - great looking car, although not a huge fan of the wheels. They look good low.
And what a brilliant video? Some awesome camera work.
And no to the S6 LEDs here too. The old addage still rings true - if you want Lexus lights, buy a Lexus.
But its your car, so do what ever makes you happy. If it were me, I'd lower it, debage it, legally tint it, leave the tail lights OEM as the red contrasts nicely and doesnt draw attention from the Police, stick some Mk4 R32 Aristos on or some Mk5 Omanyt's then some Anni Side skirts and possibly the front valance if it fits? You could always look into US spec GLI kit as well. Presumably a 5dr R32 or Anni interior would fit and look good too.

The alternative to DIY tint spray... (http://www.lamin-x.com/VW-Jetta-IV-99-04-Tail-Light-Covers-p/vw204.htm)
Will look a lot better and give true uniform tint, which also isn't permanent.

its pretty much the same thing mate.
besides ive yet to put lacquor on it to make it gloss.

Not directed at you Benny, just mean its only banter.. At the end of the day its your car so you do what you want to achieve the look your after, may not be to eveyones tastes but thats what an open forum is all about :smiley:

I demand go-faster stripes. :party:
On a serious note, I would have parked it in the most inconvienient place at the dealer where you bought it from until they fixed the radiator.
Im a fan of them wheels so nice touch on that.
The rear lights I dislike with a passion, however much you tell yourself they shine through ok, in all honesty they dont and are a real ball ache when your behind someone with these...fortunately they are usually the likes of 1.0 to 1.6 litre cars so nothing that cant be overtaken with ease :happy2:
Oh and get it slammed like the others say, less is more in this case.

black spotted roc :sad:
-
the badge comes off really easily and when turned over you only have to trim off 4 tabs to split the badge from the holder so you can spray it properly
a nicer mod is to use a slightly smaller badge from the VW Sharan as it's slightly smaller and fits nicely inside the recess the original badge fits over
:innocent:
-
Can just see you spraying the badge
Nightmare for the neighbours with the white rocco.
-
its his dads :happy2:

the bulbs were fine.. No bulb out indicator.. Its a ballache taking the badge off too so just masked it up. No markr on the roc as ive just finished washing it and i did paint the rubber but i expected that to peel anyways

clutch already :surprised: lets hope it doesnt turn into needing a new gear box every 2k like your golf :signLOL: will look really cool when its decked :)
-
it was worn when i got the car.. the biting point is rediculously high on it..
-
so you have done all the darth vader black on the back and then painted the towing eye bright red?
ok then?
and it looks like you need some finer sandpaper for the aluminium, there are some rough sanding marks in there now
-
im doing hints of red :happy2:
and i know i got so fed up with it last night.. its really tough to get that stuff off! ill run over it soon with finer sandpaper
-
looks awesome benny, well done!!!!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

i had the same problem doing the fronts on my misses polo. you need to open the back of the clamp a stupid amout. I coulnt do it so the garage had to do it with some kind of hydrolics.
People on here should be able to tell you how to do it though,
-
easy to do as joe said open up the clamp and it should budge

love that last shot mate, your bora's coming together really nicely :happy2: those bulbs really improve the look at the front
just a thought, would a cupra front splitter fit your bumper (iirc about £19 from SEAT) i had one on my mk4 golf and it really set the front off for a very small spend :smiley:

-
Wheels look great! :drool: I really ain't feeling the red on the grill though :confused:
-
Looks good benny, amazing what difference them coilies have made.

if you have to borrow money to get them then add a bit more and get that bonnet notch filled too :laugh:
