yeah that would look trick gee, bit like this......... (boy i love bbs CH rims)

How do you wrap wing mirrors though...? That Bora was painted.

I was very nice though... and I'm with you on the BBS's...!

That Bora looks spot on sat on those rims.

they are lovely rims, there was a lovely gold one at tatton park vwnw in 2007 with a tan leather interior and no headrests sat on a set of them and it looked so nice. definately my favourite rims for a bora for the oem* look.

gee, get your mirrors and roof painted that colour perhaps then? if you get your rims done by the same person you will get an exact match. it would look very nice. perhaps you could even get your rim lips sprayed the same colour silver as the car? saves polishing and would look very nice.

Still urgently need an OZ bolt tool...

If I haven't found one by next week I'll have to splash the cash for a new one... Grrrr!

Looks like a good un bud.....You set on the roof etc being black???? There was a Silver Bora on Edition that had the roof and mirrors painted in real dark grey which looked sweet as

A pro could wrap the mirrors for you gee but personally I'd only do the roof in dark gray and the wheels

All the suspension components are here... just gotta find some ramp time now.

Oh, and a sodding OZ spline tool.

Slight change of plan... the OZ's have gone as they were going to be a RIGHT pain in the arse... so I bought some BBS Calito's from a new A3 instead. Trial fitted one wheel tonight so that I could decide what size tyre to order for them...

They are lovely wheels, but they don't look like 18's - hopefully with tyres on and the coil-overs they'll look better... might need a tiny bit of stretch on there to get them tucked up in the arches...

I think they're a well nice looking wheel and I quite like the fact they don't look enormous - sticking with the darker centre route or going for something different?

Like them they look good will look bigger when they have shoes on and it's lower
Nice car that gee had it remapped yet LOL

Keeping them as they are for this year... might change them when they come off for the winter.

Jez... thinking about it - it's just not fast enough as it is... lol

Just picked up a LCR front splitter to go on it... obviously it'll need a bit of work to fit... but should look good.

Updated pics on Friday when the work's been done.

Really lovely rims Giles, I think they'll look spot on when the tyres are fitted and it's dropped. The modern wheel on a slightly older model Audi will be a nice touch.

I like them Gee

im interested to see these on when the cars lowered on collies, not quite feeling the wheels yet
sorry gee

I like them geeee

Like em bud......think once its dropped it will look loads better

i like the wheels gee

looks cool. down on them will look the nuts. OEM++ its the future. and a bit of inter-manufacture-breeding :-)

the more i look at these gee the more i see touring car styling!!! brilliant

...off to get it's make-over...

Just a few snaps of it today after it's 1st outing on it's new rims...





I'm really happy with how it's turned out... and for the money I paid for the coil-overs, I'm REALLY surprised at the decent level of ride quality it still retains. Fair enough, it's a little hard on the rough roads, but that's to be expected... but I've ground out 3 times already in the first day!

I think the wheels have worked quite well... and I'm a lot happier with them now they're on the car.

Just the paint to sort out now...

Looks nice, simple but so effective
