Default Laura the Bora

Hey guys. Thought I'd start up a thread of my UK Bora! I won't say much, but I'll let the pictures do most the talking! Bare with me, there's loads!

Bought it like:



Then started vinyling/carbon fibre wrapping bits



Bought some TT comps, sprayed them VW Indigo blue



Got a 4motion splitter and private plate.


Bought some Recaro's ridiculously cheap


Got some JOM coilovers fitted and fitted the wheels


Then crashed


Got her resprayed, smaller tyres and lowered a little and gave her a 2 day detail




Then got some of my fave wheels, BBS RSII's. Had been after some for a long time, got these cheap!


Lowered her some more, but was getting lots of driveshaft rubbing, and was sitting poo


So got a chassis notch done, fitted a whiteline arb and raised the engine 25mm


Got the front all the way down, and the rears down with helpers and adjusters still in


Detailed it again before GTI Inters



Got an EGR delete kit


Went for a shoot






Then went to edition38 etc, and decided I need to go lower, so removed the rear adjusters and the front helpers





Rolled my arches, built a sub enclosure, upgraded my door speakers and finished my interior trims





Last pic I got of her before I crashed! lol.


Got some VRS spiders, so is now in winter mode




[B]Fitted the US bump strip, with the side markers, pics below.
[/B




Had it remapped and a Decat done!





As you can see, it's looking quite sorry for itself atm lol, been prepping the bumper for the respray! Currently in the bodyshop at the moment!

Also currently refurbing the BBS, polishing the lips and centres, along with painting the centres Audi Daytona Grey! Here's a pic of how they will look, on the car


And a quick chop of how it will look when its all finished in a month or so!

(Plan to run it as close to that height as I can, static)

Got quite a few more bits to do, and bits to buy!, will keep you posted

Cheers for looking and bearing with me! Took a while to get the pics together haha!

The Recaro's are the comfiest seats ever! Tempted by some Recaro leathers now though...

Not been on here in a while, so have quite a big update!

Here's some pics of my progress since!


New steering wheel


Refurb on the BBS


Fitted new brakes, 312mm S3 discs and calipers along with GTi hubs, and 256mm rears. And went out for some pics








Magnetic plates, and took the surrounds off for a cleaner look


All red'd up my rear lights



Re-furbed and rebuilt the BBS


Wheels on and lowered some more and added some camber on the rear for clearance


At Ultimate Dubs




Then tinkered with the ride height some more. Latest pictures of it







And now I've bought a pretty rare set of wheels for this summer


Autostrada Monza's

Will be refurbing them over the next month or so, then will be on the car for GTI International, and lowered some more

Thanks for looking, comments welcome!
