Bra looks good, not a fan of the roofrack though

Functionality over looks ;)

I hate them lmao, but what can you do when you have to get your g-rents from Heathrow and they have sh!tloads of luggage, obviously because they're' Indian lol

Good job I took the spacers out:

Was about an inch lower with 2 people in the back!

Love carrying people in the back of my car cos it makes it look about 30mm lower. *I'm not lowering, I'm not lowering* :p

Haha, thing is I really want to take the adjusters out, but would mean I'd have to take my spacers off like I did above ^^, because I have people in the back quite often lol. I could try smaller spacers, but no fund to try yet lol.


I really want to sell my wheels and get another set of 17's, wider, for a teeeeny weeeeny bit of stretch for a bit so I can go a bit lower without scraping haha

Haha, wouldn't go changing, you know suj will only copy you (or is it the other way round? :p)

Why not get hold of some spring assisters from halfords or something. Will make the back as stiff as anything, but you'll be able to carry more without scrub.

LMAO, he wishes. I want a change just because I'm bored. I fell in love with a8 Monoblocks when I saw a set for sale, but got outbid and couldn't afford to put more in, gutted :cry:

Like these but in silver :(

Silver...on a silver bora... really? or you going to polish them? Shiny and stretch would look epic! :)

Good luck with that. Got no envy trying to find a good set of them!

Yeah, if it's the right wheels, then silver on silver looks bloody brilliant. Not Polished, hate polished on silver, just doesn't contrast very well IMO

I doubt I'll find any, first I've ever seen them, and probably the last :(

1) a6 mono's
2) I told you smaller spacers
3) only stretch if needed (I didn't want stretch, had to lol)
4) silver on silver? You said hated it when I suggested it ;)
5) don't take adjusters out if you have people in back, I can't get no one in there lol

1) Cheer's babe, helps narrow down the search. The guy advertising said they were a8's lol
2) yeah you did, you were right. That is why I love you :cartman:
3) yeah, not a fan of stretch, but if I need it (only slight) I will :)
4) yeah i did, because I had never seen a decent example of silver/silver. But have seen a few now, if it's done right....:love:
5) Might just wind them all the way down and try it like that lol.


What would I need to fit merc wheels?

Your adapters might be merc ones, but you don't realise ;)

I swear this car hates me. Left it out of the garage in the rain and cold for 2-3 nights. And then took her for her first drive tonight, and all the bloody interior back lights aren't working :confused:
i.e. the clocks, light dials on the right of the steering and the heater controls, so had to guess my speed on the way back past all the cams lol.

Ideas? Could it be a fuse/fuses?

Dad's Sharan did the same! I have no suggestions, just temperamental VW electrical issues, and have you ever had your lights stay on when you switch off the light switch, switch off the engine, get out...? That's another lol :p

Why the ef have you changed your user name, I don't like it lol
I hope it's not, I want it to be something small. This car is such an attention seeker!!!

Sure it isnt Isabella getting revenge for you getting Laura?? :cartman:

It probably is, teaming up with the Britney to get rid of the new girl :( lol

News Update: It's not fuses :(
Booked into a leccy specialist next week, hopefully it gets sorted.

On a different note, don't you love it when your car gets complemented by a cop :D
I had planned to give her a good detail today but looks like its gonna rain............Isabella might get her first wash in 6 months though!
