Another 'my first Bora' thread..

[DJdt]

Yesterday morning I flew up to Sydney to collect my Bora!

After a delayed flight, the seller was waiting for me in the car park and after a quick once over that was that and I was on my way back south. Took the scenic route and stayed in Thredbo overnight so I had plenty of time and road to bond with the car. After a couple of hours it felt like I had owned it for months... I think I'm completely smitten.







I'm aiming to keep it very OEM.. but I have to personalise a little bit..

What I have planned:

Cosmetics wise - de-woodgrain, black VW's, de-badged trunk, HiD's
Semi-performance - CAI, chunky rear bar...

Unfortunately money is going to fairly tight once I go back to school, so I am definitely open to suggestion as to bang for buck mods!

Sorry to flood the forums with yet another of these, but I am just too stoked not to share at the moment!

Black bora FTW.
Looks good, as im sure you will find else where on here. please get the right headlight system to run HIDs if your going to.
Very much liking the black euros on the rear. I must do this!

[DJdt]

Thanks!

yes, if I do it I will do it properly. Pretty bummed I have to send the plates back.. my vic ones will look a bit silly on the back I think

[ben]

since they are NSW euros, does this mean you get VIC euros when swapping the rego over? or do they charge you more...

Great looking car though, sure you'll have a lot of fun!

[DJdt]

Unfortunately not Ben!

Great looking Bora,congratulations,you will LOVE it.

And at least you will be one of the first in Victoria with the new Y registrations...

[DJdt]

I've been dreading the Y plates.. other than the thousand 'YES' ones. 1/676... I don't like those odds.

[anthony]

I think it will be YF? or YG?

[DJdt]

I have never really been that interested in vanity plates, but YF- is making them look pretty tempting!

How much is it for VIC Euro plates?

QLD goes for ~$600; we get Q XX 99 Y/Z

[dylan8]

$700-900. $700 if you get V LL NNN (L for letter, N for number) any others like V LLL NN are 900
