Was down at a local scrapyard, when I came across a Bora. Have never seen that many crash damaged ones, so I thought lets just have a little look inside and there they were...those quality vents much better than the 70's rubbish in the Golf.

Managed to get all the lot out including the frames without any damage. Even better when I went to pay for them as they only wanted ?15 for the lot.

Was very happy with the find, now for getting the standard blighters out of the car!!

It didnt have the front end still intact did it!

 

[northern]

Unfortunately not it had been involved in a rear end incident so the back was an absolute mess. The front on the other hand was completey missing, the engine, all wiring, bonnet, brakes and bumper had all been stripped, seats were still inside and I found a light cluster aswell other than that it had been robbed.

Which local scrap yard is that? I've looked all round the Reading area and the only one's I can find are like a blast from the past!!! []

Got an address or post code of it?

Cheers

There's a scrap yard in Blackbushe, near Blackbushe Airport (Camberley).

But the one I used to go to for my Corsa was in Aldershot. Aldershot Car Spares, though they never had much in the way of cars under 5 years old.

But I would be interested in any others arund the area. Could do with a Fabia Rear Wiper!!

I'd love to know this scrappie too as you never know what you will find...[]

 

[Mister_E]

Yeah, he seems to be finding all these nice bits lately!

 

[MarkReading]

..and still we wait to find out where this scrappie is....or does he want to keep it all to hinself....[]

 

[northern]

Just gonna keep it all to myself until I have concluded a deal at the weekend for something that I've been after for quite a while.

 

[iaincoleman]

Northern, you gonna let us know after you secure the deal then?!

Good lad!

 

[MarkReading]

I hope he does too but now I wonder what he has found this time that he's worried one of us might beat him to it.....[]

Whats so special about these BORA air vents? I assume theyre nicer, can anyone show me or send me a pic to [email protected]

Thanks in advance,

golfinspain - the Bora Air Vents look a whole lot better than the standard golf ones. They shut flush and the small symbols can be illuminated (if you wire them up).

 

[northern]

OK for all of you who what to know where this scrapyard is, (well its kinda local), its half way between Southampton and Portsmouth, in a place called Shedfield. The place is called Silverlake Auto Parts on Botley Road.

Its one of those things sometimes I go there and there is nothing of interest, other times you fall upon something that you want, such as Bora vents.

 

[MarkReading]

Well thanks for the info northen [] Anything else you get this weekend then even though its no exactly local?

 

[golfinspain]

thanks for clarifying that for me anyone got any pics?

 

[MarkReading]

Not got any pics yet but i'm sure there are some on here somewhere
