I agree, the pre-launch pictures - as usual in the correct colour and from the correct angle looked quite good - I stuck that on my wife's computer as wallpaper - just to remind her of what she might be getting! (that computer's dead now though!?!). The previous one was nasty so was the estate - but I thought that one looked okay. These South American countries (and some others) get some reasonable saloon variants - I've seen a few Clio "saloons" around - probably from Poland! I'm a B5 Passat person and I think that the Bora beats the Passat hands down, also, in around 2000, some Eeuropean markets got a Bora estate instead of a Golf estate - there were quite a few front and front panel differances between it and its Golf equivalent!

Looks a million times better with a 9n3 front end. No idea why he'd move the stereo.

yeah strange about the radio, would be nice with a set of guages in there instead

Seems like a good idea to have guages there, assuming theres an aftermarket radio in place.
Maybe he likes the idea of hiding it from the thief's or is going to remove the VW guages for even more guages

That original fit radio is just an Alpha - I wonder how much more basic it is than our basic Beta.

Link didn't work for me. Is it just 9N2 with a 9N3 front?
