Derby...?!

Nottingham.......Actually I like to say Nottingham, I'm actually in between both, in Long Eaton
Think I recognise your car from Derby Dubs. I have a pic of it somewhere!

Nice timeline man, i enjoyed reading it

Car's looking great, will look boss on the freshly painted BBSs. And those Recaros are just a pleasure to ride in. Got Recaros myself and they're so comfy

Cheers mate. Can't wait to get everything fitted and done for summer!
The Recaro's are the comfiest seats ever! Tempted by some Recaro leathers now though...

props

this is truly a build

like what u did (or gonna do) with the bbs

liked the TT's too

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it

Um, this is a bora right? How can you dyno a bora with the rear wheels not also on a dyno?

I do very much like everything you've done so far

Cos they're front wheel drive

I always thought Bora meant it was awd. I know the mkiv is a fwd platform. My bad for being an ignorant American

Cheers man, what Jorge said
I'll let you off

But, Arun, where did you shoot that picture in front of the glass and lights, only thing I can find on google is the Atrium at Derby Uni? Is that at Keddy Rd campus cos I definitely want a go!

Nottingham, Jubilee campus
Was there late one night so whipped the cam out!

good job!

I like it a lot

Nice Bora! I can't wait to see it on the grey BBS'

Wow, those RSII are going to look GREAT!

nice dude, i like it

Done a great job mate so far

The photoshop of the car looks amazing

Not usually a massive fan of the Bora's but this one is awesome, especially that last shot. Will look sweeet <3

Looks classy as hell dude. Keep it up.

Looks great, love the wheels

Thanks for all the kind words people! A lot to come yet
Can't wait to get the wheels on once they're finished

Cheers dude


Update...all painted up




More pics to come soon

[Jorge]

Definitely going up there with the new car!

[abhardwaj1990]

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!

Didn't know you were on this site too

Nice and clean, good work

Thanks fella


Haven't updated in ages, but the car has gone through loads! lol

Last pic of the bora in it's previous state, after winning a top 20 award at GTI fest


Sold my BBS and ran like this for a couple of months



Split the Monza's down, re-polished the dishes, got the centres blasted and got some gold bolts. Had to see how they;d look


Stripped the interior and roof lining, roof lining was then trimmed in faux suede and got myself some full leather heated Recaros



Retrimmed the armrest to match


Changed my subframe


Car got stripped and went into the bodyshop to be sprayed up


Stripped the headlights down to twindicate them, and get rid of the joey'd reflector....haven't seen this done elsewhere before so thought it'd be cool!



Got the centres painted BMW Mineral White, and built them back together, staggered the rears too



Started putting it all together


Then flatted the whole car down with 1200/1500/2000 and polished up to get rid of the orange peel



Custom made aluminium adapters


Then lowered some more, and the finished product:









and that's it for now. Not happy with how the rear sits, going to get the adapters milled down 4mm, then can take it a little lower and straighten the rear arches up again from all the flaring

And don;t have any interior shots, will get some soon

Thanks for looking, and sorry for all the pics
