Bora 4motion models.

Im not sure with the seats. Theres two sports on carsales both claiming to be 03 models yet one has seats with the sport embroidery and one doesnt. Maybe the ones sold late in the year didnt? Not sure whats going on there. Doesnt really bother me to be honest. Was just wondering whether they tweaked the suspension setup or anything for the sports model which it seems they didnt. Thanks for all replies.

personally, save your money and just get a 4mo; for the 2-3 grand difference you'd be able to upgrade the grill and wheels easy aftermarket

One word of advice people put the date the cars were first registered not built. Go into the boot lift up the carpet and check the build date and compliance tag. Also the change was early 2003 to the models sold in Aus. The other could have possibly been sitting in the showroom

The one with the embroidery on the seats will be the older model, they had the hoop style headrests as well.

The seats in mine are same as leather ones in some? GTI's which is the non hoop non embroidered (the height adjustment in mine broke and I was looking at a new one and the guy at the wrecker told me same as leather GTI)

[governor22]

did he say how much it is to fix the height adjust? Mine went as well

no but he said it was simple fix but I'm not so sure. when it broke this spring went flying out across the floor and the bit of plastic it was attached to - your spring may have just come detached though and it may be a simple fix has it always been broken?

Did the mkIV Gti come with leather seats??? I thought they came with cloth recaros!!!

[governor22]

no-- mine did exact same thing. Spring went and a bit of plastic shot out; I freaked out cos it happened while i was driving, thought I'd hit something

i'm no gti expert but according to the wrecker and he showed me a set he had in his shed and they were identical, he would only sell me the full set though and I only wanted the drivers
