Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Don't quote me on these but the top one's a late model Silvia? With M3 mirrors and the R8 sides painted on... (could've fooled me into thinking it was a Subaru SVX on first glance)
The bottom one looks to be an E36 Convertible.. Horribly remodelled
Ps Walshydub, do you actually know what they are? This gives me an idea for a thread...Last edited by maca; 19-07-2009, 09:10 PM.2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg Wagon -
I had an idea that second one was a messed up 3 series but the top one. No idea what that is!! I thought the front lights were off a Peugeot but the rest of it ?????Comment

I think that the first is a Silvia - it says Nissan to me.Comment

Opel Calibra. (with something like Toyota Truno/Chaser or Sprinter headlights)(or if I'm wrong, a hideous Peugeot)
and...
BMW E36
Both need to be shot.Last edited by Mk3 AAA; 19-07-2009, 09:18 PM.Comment

I take it back about the Silvia.. The bodies don't look anything alike.
The front is very 406-esque.2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg WagonComment

Yeah it's definitely a Calibra. Perhaps the bumper and panels are interchangeable with the Vectra?Originally posted by Pana View Post2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg WagonComment

If they are not the same, they would be very very similar - looks like theres been a bit of body work because if you remember, the Vectra had those funky wing mirrors that continued on from the bonnet - they've got rid of that to put the M3 type ones on.Originally posted by maca View PostPete

Yeah but the Calibra didn't have the swooping mirrors, so they wouldn't have to change the bonnet for those.. Looks like it's just the bumper, front quarter panels and the headlights that have been changed. It seems they've gone a little R8-ish with the bumper grills but I like the look of it. But if hough if there was something to fill the middle of the front below the grill, it would look more complete.Originally posted by Pana View PostLast edited by maca; 19-07-2009, 11:44 PM.2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg WagonComment

Wow you've got a good eye for these things. It'd be interesting to see if anything's been done to the back..Originally posted by Pana View Postthats not the original calibra bonnet though - definately a Vectra bonnet.2002 Volkswagen Bora V5 - 2007 Mazda 3 GT - 1998 Ford Contour Sport - 2010 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T - 2013 Volkswagen Passat 130TDI - 2015 Ford Escape 1.5 - 2016 Subaru WRX - 2018 Volkswagen Golf R Wolfsburg WagonComment
