Great car! I bet most of the people on here would like either the wheels, mirrors, bumper, side skirts etc of your car! I know i do!

Actally there are no extra side skirts on it. I've just painted the lower part thats originally black in the cars color, and left the rubber/plastic original.

Yupp! Have changed almost all that can be changed from the original S2 to RS2. Just missing the rear bumper

Toranomy: Can I ask , why do the leftside of the hood is up ? There is a big gap between headlight and the hood , or it's just winkes to me ?

[Beetie]

Sweeper, there are two bonnet catches/locks on the s2. Mine used to do that when i first got it as it only had one catch on it.

They can easily be adjusted. The gap is meant to e 9mm + or -2mm I think!.

Don't wind the screw too far in or it will dent the bonnet. I didn't do that....

Toranomy I hope the link worked the second time I sent you last night

That's the reason i need a new hood. If you look closer under the grille, you see the dent. that's the reason. And ofcourse, some adjustment to the hood would probably help, but i don't bother, since i'm about to change it, and give the entire car a paintjob.

Almost a rs-2 coupe !

Those aero whipers are pretty cool too! Where are those from?

Nice paint-job at the 'skirts'

Pleasure, I'm now thinking about painting mine like Yours. I didn't like the idea of painting the ruber trim.

I had a full respray done on my car in 1997 which cost £2,000, 2,600 Euro?
the girlfriend scratched it up a gate post 2 weeks later
