  • Its a Golf estate, with bora front end, and r32 splitter, dropped nicely, 18 inch rs6's, nice subtly modded wee car

  • I see you swapped it for the one on Scottish vag, kinda sad so see it go Loftys new workhorse

mine will only be 16 miles over the hill in dundee

atleast you can sneak out at night if you miss her that much and stalk her :D

i do indeed, silvers great. and you have shown a pic of the rear of the passat haha, all the bora changes have been on front.

And by the way that passat looks nice haha.

it is after all an estate car so never gonna be a 'hothatch'

Any VW sticker options though mate??

Yeah I know but it was the first picture that came up when I googled silver passag estate AND it had the correct wheels.

The fronts of that age passag and a bora are pretty similar though. :p

All the badges are made to order so I can replace the vw ones with anything you fancy

BOLF BTI maybe?

haha i like that. ill have a think.

If you feel the need to tinker and fiddle with an octavia you can always go over mine when you visit next week! Can't believe I've had mine for 6 months now. Time for a change though. I'd swap it for a Bolf!

Yeah, have you got a tdi lump we can fit to it? Haha.

It's served its purpose though, and been a long stander for you

Must admit lofty I quite like that I've always had a thing for slammed estates :).

Its a Cut & Shut :giggle::D :D

that'll look the ****** once you get some ladders on and a bucket dangling from the back ;)

I actually like that Lofty. Silver great colour..

The height on that is about the same as mine apart from mine is slightly lower at the front. (now have 12mm spacers on front) :rofl: may have a go at fitting 15mm to rear at weekend

I prefer the rear to be slightly higher than front to give it a slight nose down look.

Nice to see a Golf estate modded. :thumbup:

I prefer the name Gora to Bolf. But of course with a name like Gora, it needs to be black, have a towbar fitted, and Boudicea style hubcabs...

Looks tidy! Seen a few of these popping up recently at shows and kinda like them

Surely a Gora is a golf front end and bora rear ?

i wonder i wonder, how does this work for insurance ? it's all oem parts and same maker, or haven't you mentioned it lofty ? not trying to kick up anything but just curious as to what they would say

I've really enjoyed the performance, mpg and reliability of my octavia.

Its just not big enough now.

A Golf is an Octavia wannabe! :)

Thanks guys, seems a few really like it like i do.

where insurance is concerned they were happy with wheels and coilies, and i said i had modified front end to that of a bora, and it didnt do much to my premiums, £5 per month on top of what i would have been paying had it been standard, but thats only cos there is 4 months left on policy and admin charge etc is just spread over those months too.........

So insurance sorted

What you have there is a Bora Estate, which is a standard model in Europe!

Looks good though.

I was talking to someone about this today, and all those now asking what it is, are being told that its a bora estate, gives it a UK uniqueness. All very similar to the octy, and very easy for me to adapt so far

Awesome looks great :)

Bora estate rocks!

Would the Octy Vrs bumper fit on the front? Looks more aggressive being deeper :)

now thats an idea

Nice car, certainly better than an Audi IMO ;)

I think that there is a Bora R32 front bumper available for the Chinese market. I remember seeing a post about them on the uk-mkivs forum when I had mine.
