What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[JackF]

Finally got my new wheels/tyres on! Khumo KU31 225/45/17 on Bora Sport wheels with 10mm spacers in the back (in this pic). I was getting a bit of rubbing on the fronts at full lock (on the strut, as far as I can work out) so I've since moved the spacers to the front and that's fixed it, just means I have whack fitment til new 15mm spacers arrive for the rear.

New wheels...



Yes, they are different to the Aristos...



...but not so different to the prototype Essen 2001 car

Are they 17's?

If its rubbing on lock its most likely to be the inside of the wheel arch. Do it for long enough and you will end up with a polished section towards the headlight corner of the arch

Look like 18s too me.
Very cool Graeme, you always have the coolest stuff!

I hate it when people get new wheels.. Makes me jealous.

Looking good! I have to ask what paint you ended up going for? Initially I was leaning towards Plastidip, but the paint you've used looks good (there was another guy on uk-mkiv's who use paint and it looked great too).
This interior business is on my to do list as well and I've nearly finished gathering bits and pieces.

i initially wanted to plasti-dip too but the feel of it put me off. Kendog found some awesome paint that gives a factory look from bunnings (image below)

I also used some satin black for the trim around the radio and stuff for a unique look

18 x 8 ET38 - they even use the stock wheel bolts...seeing as they are actually OEM wheels.

Aaaahhhh my bad, my car is a lot lower an the artisto's look bigger so was just wondering. They are nice oem+ upgrade though!

Ordered an R32 DSG air intake today (bigger than stock) for my Bora 4mo.
More power, better fuel efficiency and still oem/oem+. Can't go wrong.

Where did you buy from? And $? Usually darn expensive.

I found Auto parts online trading platform - car parts, tyres, wheels, oils, accessories. had the parts for about $300, which was way cheaper than I saw them anywhere else.
The place doesn't seem to be dodgy and there are no bad reports about it, so with any luck the parts will arrive in a couple weeks
