Newsh's S2 Avant!

[newsh]

And the verdict?!

Nice



RS4 RARB fitted! Off out to test!

[s2driveruk]

is the handling and planted feeling of the a*se end as significant as i remember after driving Fitzy's

[newsh]

It definitelty turns in better and feel more controlled in the corners, I'm on stock shocks and springs though AFAIK and I think Fitzy is on RS2s and lowered? So probably not the full deal so to speak, but definitely a good result.

Now I'm wondering whether to put the RS2 front ARB on, it made a massive difference on the 3B ..

[newsh]

New (to me) colour coded bumper on, cheers Johnnybravo, I know it was meant for the coupe but it seemed rude not to , bonnet adjusted, front end looking nice now

Went to fit the headlight I'd bought, unwrapping it I hear something rattling around, inside a decent cardboard box and 3 layers of big bubble wrap the glass is broken, in fact its well smashed up, DHL, how do they manage it Managed to make one decent one out of my old one and the shell and reflectors of the bought one, my glass has a crack in it though so not exactly the result I was hoping for.. Looks good enough from a distance and the reflectors are good and the adjusters works so better than it was before.

I feel your pain, that happened to one of my headlights, gutting.

Think replacement glass is about £50 and £8 for the seal.

I ended up sending Andys replacement lense with Royal Mail as I didn't have any faith in the courier, they don't insure glass either ! We send a LOT of furniture every day and some days are ok and others are terrible, last week a sink turned up broken in half !

Prices were as above for the lense and they turned up within a day or two.

[newsh]

Yes, £50 for a glass, I can wait.. The shame is the broken pieces have scratched up the reflectors quite a bit, you have to look to notice it but nevertheless its a pain..

Getting there

[PeteUr]

Needs some s8's and a blacked out grill/rs2 grill

looks good so far.... how long before a 2871r goes on

That bumper looks good!
Makes me want to colour code mine even more

[newsh]

I'll wait to see if the K24 gives out I'm not really getting a push in the back like I used to in the coupe with the Mihnea chips on the K24, boost seems to take a little while to build, hoping that will change with the Milltek and gutted cats.

[newsh]

I've got a black mesh grill somewhere, needs a hole cut for the release.. hmm..

What do you think the OZs would look like?

[Jonnybravo]

Car looks great John, that bumper did look nice with the bottom half painted.
