Hi,

Im oldy, 21 from notts.

been reading the forums for a good few months now but finally bought my bora 1.9tdi (100) S, 67k on the clock. bog standard car although has got a 6 cd changer. 

I've got a few plans for it. im going for the low euro look with a hint on ratty-ness inspired from the aircooled scene.

here is a list of things i plan on doing:

Coilovers

paint the rubstrips and valance

thule roof rack and wind deflector

new rims. looking at some AMG aero2 18"s at the min but might change my mind. and stretched tires.

badgeless grill.

rusty bonnet. 

German plates

tints

stubby aerial 

projector lights

Afternoon Oldy and welcome. Nice colour there, and some interesting plans with the rat look.

welcome from another Bora owner you will love it

 Cheers guys!

just been doing some photoshopping...

might look like this

 welcome - that p-shop looks sweet.

Thought i would update this post with a few recent pics. I have the car booked in at midland VW to get it sitting on coilovers and have a whiteline front ARB sat here that will be fitted too.

looking sweet. how much you going to lower it by?

not sure yet. going to have a chat with them to see what they recommend but i want the gap between wheel and arch drastically reduced. looking into sump guards too.

I love roof racks!!!

Saw a silver mkiv with a rack about a year ago, and thought it looked awesome. Mean and manly ;)

Boras looking sweet, great cars

cheers man, i like them too but i take it off to go to work and back now seeing as diesel is so expensive.

i've been reading up on getting spacers for my wheels as some people are saying they catch the coilovers when they are low.

im running 17x7 with et of 38

anyone had issue with this setup before?

Welcome Oldy,

You definitely don't need encouraging on the modding side of things, looks like you know exactly what you want to do

Liking the photoshop jobby there.

coilovers fitted today by midland VW

really happy!

will take some photos once it has settled.

oh and got some 15mm spacers to bring the back wheels out a little

Welcome to the forum and happy posting

thanks rent a goat!

here is a pic from midland VW just after the coils were fitted

 Hi oldy!

good ideas! cant wait to see the finished product, really like the ratty distressed look, makes a plesant change!

Good luck

Hi Oldy

Welcome to the forum

as promised i have a few new pics of the car. did a little shoot with my buddy in his ricer! its low so i let him off!

lookin slick......

notch has been semi- filled but only with the blanking plate thing.

when i put the spacers on i could see the wheels actually wobble when i drove so i took them off again. taking them back to midland VW today to see what we can do. look nice though once on! wide stance on the back :D

Did you buy hub centric spacers?

i certainly did. but i know people only recommend getting H&R branded ones which these are not :(
