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

[dylan8]

Ummm can i have your wheels
Please.
pretty please

maybe for sale soon....

Yeah the purists will say stock tails are best etc... they are stock on a jetta from the states
Will probably order some in a couple of weeks with a few more asthetic parts but need to get the engine running right first.

I think if they look like they could have come standard you cant go wrong, just up to personal taste from there.
If i hadn't got those it would have been all red, which we did get as standard in AUS

I am usually a purist when it comes to lights. People with altezza lights should be sent to prison and angel eyes are for BMWs and angels only, but I think one of the Australian Bora's weak points is the all red tail lights.

Built a "polishing pad for the Bora Headlights today... 50mm washer with a bolt through it for the drill, and 15mm high density foam for the pad...

Spent about 45mins polishing the left hand headlight some more... Coming along nicely... About 80% done on the left now... My home made buffing pad is working nicely... Cordless drill is not so happy... lol.

I think it depends on the person and what cars they hate. The reason I don't like anything but all red is because I associate the smoked ones with my mate's body-kitted Lancer, and the alternating red/silver with Mercs (which is my least favourite German make). But if you don't have a mate with those smoked lights on his rice burner your brain won't be scarred like mine.

There are so many different tailight for the Bora's... All look good in some circumstances, but few look good on all cars.
Personally I like the Smoked Red / White / Red / White lights on the black bora's...

Oh yeah, another 40mins spent polishing the damn headlights...

did you sand them also?

[Lito]

Replaced my r1 with a 710n, car feels much stronger and more responsive but the psssh is not as loud can believe the r1 lasted only a year before it started leaking.

did you sand them also?

Saw your how too, but, couldn't find my sand paper, and I figured that they weren't too bad...
The left was definately worse than the right... Spent about 1.5hours carefully polishing the right and only .5 hours on the left...
Still not perfect, so will probably need to pick up some 2000 grit, sand lightly and then re-polish.
Also looks like someone has spilt fuel on them as they are 'wrinkly'... lol.

Also, Washed / Waxed the Bora Today... Damn my arm is sore...
Apart from the 5000 stone chips, and the tree sap marks, she's a mirror finish...

[dylan8]

i couldnt find sand paper locally fine enough
Ill probably buy a kit from car car products down the track as i have 2 other sets to do and id like to redo the ones i did before.

nothing new with my bora other then someone knocked off my porsche tyre valves

....someone knocked off my porsche tyre valves

It's things like this that make you want the death penalty re-introduced

[kaneda]

Got a box of goodies the other day and while im waiting for another box to arrive I replaced all my coolant hoses with a samco kit and the 2 plastic thingies with the water temp sensors .

[gringo_54_oval]

went to the servo to fill up the tank and at 45 litres the pump starts clicking saying its full but i doubt it anyway i pay and drive off fuel
gauge is saying its 3/4 full.its weird cause its the second time its done this.and at different servos

anyone ever had this problem before?
Gracias.

[djorkboy]

Needed to feel good about something after the crappy week I have had so I did a quick test fitting of my Oettinger wheels before the car needs to go back to the mechanic on Monday.

gringo, I had that problem with my old ute but only at BP service stations, any other brand it would fill up fine.

Wheels look nice. What happened to the front bar ? Looks like it wants to fall off.

[dylan8]

Wheels look good. What size rubber?
