      Pretty sure its already on the register from what I can see of the plate, any chance you could confirm these please:

      Leather or cloth?
      Carbon or wood trim?
      Air con/sunroof or both?

      Cheers

      Yup. Was a pleasure to meet Trist28 who kindly drove 40 miles round trip to pick me up from the station. And also to meet K Simmonds who dropped off a crossover pipe for the lad's Golf.

        Strange it steers better than the 3B (is this an ABY thing? I've never driven one before) and actually rolls a lot less than a stock 3B too, it seems to be completely stock though. I have heard that the avant rear suspension is considered a lot smarter than the coupes.. I like it. Its going to stay stock. There will be absolutely no mods, promise!








        Needs a boost gauge and a chip though

              I meant the comment about being fat and over weight as being the same thing
              But its always interesting to hear what a coupe owner thinks to the avant... another one converted?

                  having owned 6 s2;s now i have to say both have pros and cons. surpriseingly there is more leg room in a coupe up front and i was very worried to see how avants are not holding there money at the moment, shame because the avants are a better car imo

                      Yeah I knew what you meant

                      The Avant is going to be my daily driver for a while as the coupe is a bit bonkers now and too noisy to drive in town and I've got shed loads of stuff to do to it, rear windows, move the battery, both bumpers, both manifolds and IC etc, etc..

                                Should be available new for decent money, most ARBs are £100ish except RS2 nowadays, used to be cheap. Get a homefries sharpish
