New 2 the site...

Hi about 3 months ago i went out looking to buy a car, i seen this volkswagen bora 2.0 and with out askin to many questions put a deposit down on the same day..
The car had no history but i bought it all the same for around £2500, so far the only major problem ive had is a fualty lambda sensor. Other smaller things envolve speakers that have stoped working and some other little interior issues..
I am an apprentice engineer and there fore i am not on a great deal of money, however i will be hoping to service my car soon, and after i plan on spending all the money i can on my car..

This bora is the 1st volkswagen i have ever had, sooo any tips in modifiying or any general tips will help me grately..
I plan on regulary posting on here and attending as many meats as i possibly can. Sorry for the life story and thanks

Linking Basics

Overview: The following tutorial is a step by step guide on how to direct link files from Photobucket to your favorite forums, message boards, emails, instant messenges, and web layouts.

Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder. You also must already have content uploaded into your Photobucket account.
Steps to Take:

1. Log into your Photobucket account at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
2. From the navigation bar at the top of your album, select the "albums & upload" tab.
3. Locate the thumbnail image for the file you wish to direct link and notice the three separate linking codes below it.

Note: You can access these same codes from the "edit", or full size, page as well.

4. Email & IM (Share URL): Use this to send via IM or Email. This can be turned off in your account options or the "change link options" hyperlink under your first thumbnail image.
5. Direct Link: Use this for layout pages and MySpace backgrounds. This can be turned off in your account options or the "change link options" hyperlink under your first thumbnail image.
6. HTML Code: Use this for linking to sites like MySpace or Ebay. This can be turned off in your account options or the "change link options" hyperlink under your first thumbnail image.
7. IMG Code: Use this for Bulletin Boards and Forums. This can be turned off in your account options or the "change link options" hyperlink under your first thumbnail image.
8. Left click in the field for the code that you want to use. This will automatically copy the code for you, as denoted by the yellow "Copied" message that pops up.

Navigate to the place where you would like to link your image to. This might be a forum, message board, email, instant message, etc, and paste (right click, select "paste") the code into the appropriate field.

Note: Many message boards and forums are different, so you may need to consult their Help or FAQ documents for further guidance on which code you should be using.

9. If the linking codes are not visible in your account, you must enable them by going into your "account options".

Note: This can also be accomplished with the "change link options" hyperlink under your first thumbnail image.

10. Locate your "Album Settings" and click on the "edit my album settings" link.
11. Check the boxes to display the links for the codes that you would like to display in your account.
12. Click on the "Save" button so your changes take effect!

hayy solved it thanks for all the help.. this is a nice pic when i 1st got it..

sweet bora you have there tim many peeps on here will tell you less is more on the vw scean so subtlety is the word but hey there is loads of stuff out there for the bora so if you have any questions 9/10 they have been tried and tested by somone on here so ask away. Oh and welcome to the forums buddy

welcome mate looks tidy and think its the same colour as mine,
like ant says less is more little oem+ changes go a lonng long way

Thanks ill definatly be adding posts and tryin to solve lots of quereys ... The only things ive done to it so far is a slightly smaller number plate than the one in the pic, it makes the front look a little bit bigger, and also change the bulb to super brilliance blue %50 brighter.. they basicly are white and make the car look newer ..

apart from that shes standard, and my style of modding is subtle and clean lookin, ulle be glad to hear lol

thanks for the welcome ill try and get a more recent pic to show u..

Looks good! WELCOME
