JMS Bora IV facelift

JMS has taken a Volkswagen Bora Mk IV and given it a whole new kit. VW has previously used the name Bora in some markets to mean the Jetta sedan. The tuner guarantees its work is up to standard and the TÜV approval gives it that extra selling point. The Racelook front bumper has three big cutouts. Buyers can choose to fit either black or silver vents for it. They can also specify if they want it with or without an opening for fog lights. Should fogs be specified then well-known lighting manufacturer Hella will supply Micro-DE pieces at a price of €89 per pair.

Side skirts are available for all the Bora versions. They feature air ducts and are integrated well into the body. The rear bumper is quite dynamic as it can be utilised in conjunction with very much any tailpipe layout.

The JMS Bora IV runs on 225/35R19 tyres which are coupled with Eta Beta 8x19 wheels with stainless steel inlays. At €2,799 for the set they are not cheap, but again, the work is said to be very good. To give the car a brawnier look JMS installs a stainless steel H&H coilover that lowers the front end by 55mm and the rear end by 45mm.

JMS presents facelift for the VW Bora

JMS presents new tuning parts for the VW Bora and refreshes the compact Volkswagen Sedan. For the production JMS uses original zender tools, which JMS bought last year, when Zender closed their street tuning department.
With the new JMS stylingkit the cars seems to be some years younger and looks like a New Generation edition car of Volkswagen itself.

The new Racelook front bumper (359 Euro) with three big cutouts gives to the Bora much more prestige for overtaken then the serial dependant ever had. The customer can choose the type of vents to be used, from black (24,90 Euro) to silver (19,90 Euro) and also with or without opening for fog lights.
If the customer decides to install fog lights, JMS offers the Micro-DE-fog lights from Hella (89 Euro/pair).

A other highlight is the JMS front hood including bad look and some openings for more racing performance, but this part is only a sample and actually there is no production in motion.

The sideskirts (269 Euro) can be fitted on all versions of the VW Bora and have air ducts on the front end. They make the car looking much deeper and connect the design of the new front- and back bumper. This special complete rear bumper (349 Euro) shows a really clean look and follows the design of the front bumper. Also there will be more space to use sport mufflers with two or four pipes. For this rear bumper all exhaust systems are possible.

Even for lowering JMS decides to high standard. The Bora fits a stainless steel coilover from H&R (899 Euro), that allows up to 55mm less height at the front axle and up to 45mm less height at the rear axle. Eta Beta 8×19 wheels with stainless steel inlays and 225/35R19 tyres (Euro 2799) will be the optimum for best grip and street performance, the H&R wheel spacers with 15mm/each side fill up the rear fender.

All parts from JMS are TÜV approved and really "Made in Germany". JMS give the guarantee for perfect fitting.

That is a Zender body kit. In fact I think these are Zender pictures that have been photochopped. They're making it look like it's new because Zender actually closed down and sold their remaining stock to other companies or dealers, not sure. U can tell by the old pictures, not even taken by a modern modern camera. That sucks!

German rice. This is such low quality work. Looks like some cheap auto parts you can purchase from your local garage, nothing special.

That's not a facelift, it's only a hideous ricer. In Latin America VW has already launched the Jetta/Bora facelift, wich is basically the same, but with MP3 stereo, old-gen Passat-looking headlights and different rear lights. It's not very good looking. http://images.quebarato.com.br/photos/big/8/7/1D1487_1.jpg
