Title: Bora 2.0 build thread
Post by: bennylenny88 on April 09, 2009, 01:06:02 am
well picked her up about a hour after i dropped mine off :(

the last picture of my car  :sad:

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009641.jpg&hash=1686f70360b5c95dcfd917c0ba9c8b191f829207)

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

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009643.jpg&hash=3967495d54ebf44ed9cb4ab0d6d0528fcb74e939)

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

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009644.jpg&hash=06ba4b38b87a1d4a38268358e1ddb407309f97b5)

then it was down to wheelbase :D

had my eyes on these :P but.. theyre 20" and too wide :( wanted to do a poke + stretch

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009647.jpg&hash=872cc4a64899aba77e2f6a6d3486408b21b87dae)

ended up settling for these :D 19" new RS4s

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009646.jpg&hash=9c615740f505fb8d81679f362e89ad8b5a09493f)

after a agonising 1 and a half hour wait to fit alloys  :fighting:

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2F08042009649.jpg&hash=8c22fedb0d654f32ed48adb6540a469989bd92a1)

then.. debadged it..

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2FImage0177.jpg&hash=bfc64baabac0d50c29d3358364b0b5bf7b807d62)

how it stands...

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ff42%2Fbennylenny88%2FImage0176.jpg&hash=1a26fa76d9a7f2a9250d135ce6d8f88f996cc54e)

Post by: bennylenny88 on April 10, 2009, 11:58:47 am
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.

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:

Post by: markymark on April 10, 2009, 12:47:37 pm
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?

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.

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:

Ok Benny this is how you do it

V6 4motion. Got it home a de-badged it. After a week I fitted a full V3 Coilover kit, week 2 a Milltek and filter and Week 3 the Billet wheels.

Any chance of a picture of your rear lights on at night.....And I bet its fun reversing?

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.

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:

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

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:

shot of it on my previous mistress, popular .:R32 mod:
