        If im being honest (and you are asking for honest opinons) then i think it looks Ghetto aka Council special.
        Tint kits rarely loose the matt finish unless its been done professionally and even then it looks a bit cheap,
        Only way to tint lights imho is to buy them - your stuck with the S2 as i dont know anyone who does them but to me it just looks cheap

        Sorry

                they are tinted really nicely, blinker and fog match perfectly together. if the car was black or white or red would be muche better IMO.

                      Thought it might look a bit chav, but I quite like it.... with a dark car, and especially if you paint the headlight parts, will look very menacing...
                      All you need then is the black grille surround and its complete...!
                      Nice one...

                        yep , all the above and then maybe colour coded bumpers, that S2 has got the best blue paint - fell for that colour when me dad bought at the time a brand new audi 80sport sedan.

                            Gash - sorry. You did ask. Personally I don't see the point.

                              I painted mine, although I have to keep an eye on things as the paint does suffer from stonechipping, and stands out alot with chrome shining through if chipped....
                              I am not sure , maybe the Kamei grille is worht a look, I think it looks best to keep the S2 badge silver, as it matches the main beam reflector, it makes it stand out in a nice way....
                              maybe a few more coats of lacquer might help keep the black from chipping..... I might try this in a few weeks...!
