Dan's VW History

[Brisbane's Bora]

Seen you parked on the side of the road in Coorparoo a fair bit lately. Car looking schmick, nice stance and roof racks look ace mate!

Thanks, Yeah I moved house, its a great place but no so great for the car having no garage anymore.

I missed the update
4mo lip looks so much better, did the recess square stay in on yours? mine fell out first attempt at driving.
Get some photos and specs up in the wheel library too, love a nice fitting OEM+ wheel!

Nah my square recess thing stayed in there no worries. Will put the specs up soon, been slack as I have been super busy recently, wheels will probably be up for sale soon, or atleast an EOI, it seems a bit silly to get rid of OEM wheels that arent too over the top but have such nice fitment. The money will have to talk.

How are you finding the JOM coilovers Dan? A friend of mine recently picked up a V5 Bora and has been looking at these coilovers.

[Brisbane's Bora]

I find the JOMs pretty decent, a little bouncy but manageable, and they have a lot of adjustment. For the price definitely recommended.

Had the day off and I'm buying a new bike soon so I made this for my housemates and I if we want to go riding.

Did you install the JOM's yourself Dan? If yes, what can you tell me and would you be able to share any tips?

Liking the new lights.
Not sure i can tell which bit got painted.

[Brisbane's Bora]

I nightshaded the clear parts on the tail lights, more GLIish now. And plastidiped the grill. I was always sceptical of nightshade and plastidip but everything is ok in moderation

Little bit of paint can make such a difference to the over all car. Looking good!

[Brisbane's Bora]

Not perfect but much better

Awesome. Have been meaning to do this for ages. How did you go with the corners and bends on the a/b/c pillars

[Brisbane's Bora]

The pillars and stuff werent too bad at all. The sunroof to sunroof motor box to sun visors was really hard. If I did it again I would get a much stretchier fabric, luckily the mini sun visor in the middle covers up quite a few wrinkles!

One from yesterday

Have had some problems recently moving house, with those big hailstorms and a few other issues. This is potentially the final modified form of the Bora so I took some photos recently.
