danno Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I'm swaying towards buying the following, but to fully persuade me, I need to know how itll look.Basically I want it lowering to what would be a reasonably drivable height, I'm still unsure on wheels so they can wait (unless you want to give me a few suggestions) , could you possibly try to do a Bora front for me too?Thanks in advance, much appreciated,Dan Edited June 18, 2011 by danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'm still in two minds over a passat, I'm thinking either a passat b5.5 estate, one of these or a bora, but I have saw what the other 2 look like when nicely done, but not too many mk4 estates, especially in this colour.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 *cough cough* ...............avant a4, surely!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 That confuses me......Quite a fair point actually, I suppose engine wise they're all the same depending on model, just aesthetics. I'm not sure which I prefer.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Depends whate shape mate, the old shape around 2000 or before can be picked up quite cheaply.I'm still leaning towards the mk4 'state just need to see a shop, before I waste my money lol.Cheers, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 These are for sale on SVAG at the mo'...Landrover mondials. With custom adapters: in the region of £850Now refurbed in silver as can be seen in the ad. I think these are stunning and would suit the wagon perfect.http://www.scottishvag.net/viewtopic.php?f=121&t=81811Lowered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) as for the photoshop how do u put the front of a bora on that? surely the bumpers wont fit cos the lights are different shapes?Bora: this is what it could look like with an r32 front bumper and pretty wheels:a direct passat golf comparison:personally i really like estates but ive always had a soft spot for boras.

danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 They are pretty amazing, something I'd go for too.Even the bolts are mean as flip!Here's the new requirements; the wagon pretty much slammed but driveable (it is a family car), Bora front if it's not too much trouble, and chuck those wheels on.I think I'm onto a winner here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Silver that is cool as he'll, I could see myself driving this now And Bep51 the bora front end fits straight on mate, i'l just salvage the parts from a rear ender or whatever, the bonnet, bumper, wings, lights, slam pannel etc are interchangeable on the mk4 platform.Can anyone meet the new specs? I'l post up the only other pics I have ;Cheers, Dan Edited June 18, 2011 by danno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yes, need to change wings and bonnet as well as bumper plastics and lights.Funnily enough I was looking at a Golf Estate exactly the same as this the other night whilst out for a walk witht he dog. I thought it had potential.I say go for it. Not sure about the Bora front, but it may suit the estate better than the hatch due to the squareness of the back end.

danno Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 That's quite a funky pic actually, and the potential is certainly there, not many people notice the estate but they look awesome when done well.I had a quick glimpse of that pic and they looked like bentley 5 spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 the bora suits the estate shape better and funnily enough th uk is the only place u cant get it like tht from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I didn't know that, thought all the ones in the states etc just had the Bora front end on one of the above.Learn something new every day.No one fancy wasting a bit time on a wet horrible Sunday and doin a good shop?Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Wheels arre now silver, so it would look a bit diferent, but I reckon it looks good...Probably more poke than is showing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks Joe and Silver, both look spot on.At the minute, it's either the mondials, or alphards that are doing it for me.I've tried ringing and texting the seller but to no avail just yet. My mind is quite made up though, just wish it was a tdi rather than a 1.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 yeah fair play. keep us updated mate through a build freed or something once you get one... i look forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Not sure what the one up here is engine wise. If I'm out around there I can get the reg and phone number, company name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
