This is my , for now, standard second bora.Having owned a V5 for a while i soon realised that i should have had the all singing and dancing V6 with 4wheel drive.I intend to fit my old Breyton Avalanche(Projektzwo P2's)18 inch alloys in the better weather along with some coilovers.............But for now a few pics as she is as nature intended.

The V6 is the 24v model and will be coming in for a bit of tuning as funds permit.Had thought about supercharging but it doesn't really need more power as the power it has can be used almost anytime in most conditions............grip is awesome.

My girlfriend was so impressed with the car that she went out and bought herself a TDI 130 highline.....with heated leather,parking sensors,cruise etc

Finally got round to fitting the 18s.......what do you think?

Engine has a bit of bling though this photo is an early one.Still awaiting the arrival of ABD LAN pipe. I have the big bore pipe and strut caps now but want to fit all in one go. The car is booked in for a remap at Revo and am hoping to break the 240 hp figure.
