Cool?

Was browsing and found this:



I think it looks pretty cool, what do you guys think?

[agent006]

It's a Bora, how can it be cool?

[squarepants]

How about these?

[Dr G]

Bora I like, subtle

[missing the VR6]

All pretty tasty, for me the G-Werks R32 is possibly my favorite MK4 of all time.

Bora - good choice of wheels, nice suspension height which retains some practicality, generally subtle mods but FFS the roof rack is so NOT cool.

The Gwerks R32 is a very classy bit of kit!

I think all VW's are cool compared to what some other car manufacturers spit out, whats wrong with bora's?

[TonyHetherington]

Are they 996 Turbo wheels on the bora?

[squarepants]

No. They tend to be on 993's. If you google "993 Turbo" and also "996 Turbo" and look at the wheels, you will see they are slightly different.

Ah right - thanks. I knew the shape but not the distinct difference. Interesting, nevertheless.

Actually it looks really cool, alot of classic volkswagens use porsche parts, especially the wheels. so why cant a reasonably modern volkswagen?

Because it's not a porsche, the amount of shared parts is virtually nil, the amount of shared performance parts is even lower.

It's a sad thing to do by pretending it's something it isn't.

I don't think the basis of putting porker wheels on your VAG is to fool people into thinking it is a Porsche.....though I could be wrong

I wish people who don't like modified cars would just accept that it is not to their taste rather than having to try and insult them.

It just gets tiring.

Fiat own Ferrari, does that make it right for someone to buy a Fiat Doblo and fit the wheels off an Enzo? Or fit the wing mirrors off an F40 to a Panda?

I like modified cars, i just can't understand wanting to fit bits from other cars because they're part of the same group.

With the VAG thing, why don't people fit Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti parts to VWs if they're trying to claim they're of equal heritage?

[aka_kerrly]

Oh god not the whole its not a porsche so dont put the wheels on it comment. How about if the centre caps had VW logo on instead - would anyone care? Porsche wheels, interiors and other parts have been used on VWs for ages now and it isnt so that the owner can try and convince anyone that he/she has a Porsche.

i happen to think the OEM+ look which utilising parts from other models and marques from the same manufacture is brilliant. It can be incredibly discreet or it can be very blatent but for me the skill is mixing and matching the right parts.

You've not looked at my profile have you, perhaps if you had you wouldn't be saying that.
