Cruise control depends on what year the car is and whether it's drive by wire or not. http://www.golfmk4.co.uk/cc_compatibility_chart.htm
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dgace/control_stalk.htm There's a fitting guide.
The climate control is another kettle of fish. It's a really big job and generally not worthwhile doing. Sure someone on here has done it, but it's a costly affair.
Couple of things you can do to squeeze a little more from the 115bhp engine.
Carbonio Cold Air Intake from www.awesome-gti.com helps the engine breathe more and certainly makes it sound better.
Superchips do something...but it's about ?300 for very small increases of a couple of hp.
Main things to do are improve the handling (suspension, anti roll bars) and looks (kit, wheels).
Have a look on www.borabase.com for some ideas!
Good luck with your car, post some pics in members rides for us all to see!

Would it be quicker to list things you haven't bought from the classifieds? [

thanks for the response. Chrome Dials first - then Alloys or some description - 17" or 18"? Don't really fancy any of the body kits for the Bora.
18" Rims, 35mm drop and get the valances colour coded. Or buy a GLI front Valance from the GB's.
Great shame you don't fancy any of the bodykits []

I have to admit that they're very last on my list of mods for mine...I guess it's inevitable tho!

Some do come with trim, some come with the standard black trim (which will mean a new cage).
MikeDav will be along soon to confirm!

I am not sure how big the whole system is, but you can buy the climate control head unit and blower box for 400 euros. I am not sure how much more that needs to be intsalled, but I think everything is there that is needed to doa install of climate.
Here is a rough translation using babelfish of the core text, you can slso get this for the Golf.
If your Bora in series already an air conditioning system possesses it however gladly a Climatronik would have then is this the suitable offer for you.
This set consists ventilation box, the set of cables between ventilation box and operating sector and the operating sector of the complete Climatronik - in the center console. You find the suitable set of cables for the connection of the ventilation box, the exhaust expensive equipment and temperature sensor likewise in our Shop.
The change lasts with 2 men approx.. 8 hours and consists essentially of:
empty the Klimaanlage(Kaeltemittel)
Development instrument panel (radio and combination instrument develop before)
exchange the complete ventilation box
Connection and installation of the operating sector and that pertinent set of cables
Connection of the ventilation box with optionally available set of cables
Installation of all parts in reverse order
Connection exhaust expensive equipment and temperature sensor
fill the air conditioning system
Test run
