Hairy_mic's V5 Bora

[Hairy_mic]

Thought i would start a thread on my bora, The mrs has finaly bought a new car which means i finally get to drive my dub So let the fun begin

Future mods:

Wheels + lowered
Alarm
Headlights
Exhaust
ICE
Tints



First started working on the car about 6 months ago with my Custom sub enclosure
Learned alot from the build, and i have been thinking about continuing the build. I feel that in order for me to achieve my goal, im going to have to slightly dismantle part of the sub and redo it. but this will become clearer in time.


Got the car off the mrs last weekend.
Fitted replacement mirror glass on NS (mrs hit a bush) and replaced OS mirror with matching blue tinted OEM style. (ebay from UK)

Clay barred the entire car what a difference it made. If you have never used one i suggest you buy one, They are awesome!

Sorted out the misty headlamps. (to be replaced with Glass units from Dylan8 co-op)

That's a big difference - before and after - with your headlights. Makes a huge difference in looks - any difference that you've noticed with the light output when driving at night? Any other photos of your car?

Cheers.

Yes. The light distribution is better I would it has improved by up to 25% well worth doing If you have a few hours spare.

Not hot to many pics of the car yet, as its mostly stock. Here is a pic taken near mount panorama ( early morning)
