Beautiful car mate. They'd have to be the best value car on the market at the moment - all the luxury trimmings, a nice engine, and plenty of refinement.
You're right, I rarely see 4Mo's in a different colour!
I'm not really sure yet. I'd love to put a pair of 17"s on it, and maybe a brake kit (any suggestions are most welcome!) I'd like to change out the CD head unit for something more recent and supports MP3/USB/SD. Also, whoever owned the car before me installed a nokia car kit, but I have a newer phone and it won't work with what's there. So that is definitely getting changed since it's already wired into the car.
Other than that, I probably won't change that much. I'm glad the car had the tan interior, and that's probably what drove me to get it. I just love the car and the way it turns heads, especially when peope realize it's not a run of the mill Bora. I've had more then one VW come racing up behind me to take a look.

To be honest, I don't really know that much about tuning cars. Most of the info I read praises this and bags that, or the other way around, so it's hard to get good solid information so I tend to shy away from it. I know the Bora isn't a 'race car', but then on the oher hand it's got quite a bit of kick to it when you need it.
The tan interior is great, especially since it's been hotter then anything around here the last couple of days.
Also, since I'm new to VW's, is the Bora the same thing as the Jetta VR6? Are the parts interchangeable?

I have just acquired a blue Bora V6 (tan upholstery) and just love the car! Absolutely a dream to drive - silky smooth. Almost 100,000 km but seems in excellent condition apart from some minor issues. The only negative is that my partner will mostly get to drive it as she and I work in opposite directions - we have only one car and I ride a motorbike to work (Yamaha FJR1300 - also a spectacular form of transport). Before I bought the Bora I checked this web site and was very impressed by all the comments. I was also considering a (2nd hand) BMW 318i, but when I checked the forum for that vehicle most of the posts were complaints. This (Bora) forum had some issues but everyone 'raved' about the car. It is the second VW I have owned, the first being a Beetle many many years ago - no comparison !
So, thanks for all your comments - they certainly helped convince me to go ahead with a superb car. I will post piccies at a later date.
