Well i bought this vw bora at the end of the summer, and finally got round to making a thread for it.

Lots of plans for this in the future

getting a proper stance and on new rims is the most important.

Body is in excellent condition only the previous owner scraped the rear back bumper just behind the wheel so iv plans to get it resprayed this summer.
Also the front bumper could be redone as its chipped from stones it being my daily.

Since ive bought the car it its got 2new disks up front, 4 pads, 4 tires.

M3 lip spoiler,
number plate l.e.d lights,
and a proper valet nd polish.

Iv ordered Fk Coilovers and german plates of trevor so all should be on by next week.

You can get Calibre Vintage wheels in 18" now they are similar to the lenso's and i think they can be got staggered aswell.

It really depends on the coilovers how soft or hard they are regarding people in the back but sit it down a bit above how you want it to sit as the coilovers will bed in after a while of driving then you can adjust them yourself with the c spanner if you want more lows or think its too low its not that hard to change anyway.
