Dest's S2 Avant

[Tidzy]

Will look cool when its all in..

[dest]

Cheers mate!
Its only a matter of time until you get one now you are on here LOL

Front seats are now in, centre console too.
Cant wait to get the door cards done, as that will make a big difference.
Then just the dash

H&R's fitted today

100% happy with it looks wise, everything is done now apart from a new set of plates

[Cullam3n]

Looks good you do the rest of them doorcards yet?

[dest]

Not yet
Every time I plan on doing them, either something else comes up that is more important, or its raining

[dest]

A few shots I took today, nothing else to report really, apart from new numberplates on order (look how the rear one has slid down on the crap sticky pads lol)

Did it on my last car and loved it.
I would do it on this one too, but for various reasons dont think it suits this design of lights

mate on a dark car will look the poodles plums.....iirc mark h's car has it too and it looks great!!!!
shame we dont live closer you could borrow mine

[dest]

Thats the thing though... due to the design of the lights you dont end up with that much of it looking dark (too much of it has to stay silver)

My old one:



I think that works better, as you only have one bit left silver, on the S2 there is the elipsoid, main beam bulb "dish", and then the side light section, which is all too much!
Then the indicator and fog need doing too, can they be done?
Feel free to post some examples to try and tempt me....

Looks great Martyn. Don't do the headlights, it looks awful. IMVHO....

(Was it easier to wash, how did you find the finish?)

Cheers,

Steve

[dest]

It was definitly alot easier to wash!
Had it washed (2 bucket method, no sponge!), dried (no chamois!) and QD'ed in no time atall

The sun is being crap today, so cant really get a decent shot for comparison...
