My S2 Story

[Acidburn]

What was u in Pete? Was it a red coupe?

nope a passat estate full up with stuff for people couldn't be bothered taking anything special up with me so used that for the space/fuel economy.

Oh right. Didnt realise it was you. Did you see the seward fall over then while directing traffic? It was the classic fall it happened in 3 stages

Gave the old girl a clean today. I had this little lot arrive for me this morning:


So i decided to test them all out on the S2. The car was looking ok as i had corrected the paint before GTI and waxed her up. So today i cleansed the paint by machine, cleaned the wheels (new wheels i bought 2 weeks ago) dressed the tyres and trim, cleaned the glass and waxed the paint all using the swissvax products taking about 6 hours in total Some pics:













Wheels with S2 logo behind.

Na that was dirty gav I get annoyed when it gest dirty and i have to park it under a massive tree which does not help. So i clean it at least once a week. Ill have to get a cover for it i think

careful mate covers mess up your paint if if they're not a perfect fit - try and rent a garage off the coucil I used to pay £8/month for one

Loving those wheels too, what did they cost for the 4 of them?

Yeah as i experienced once. AFter a full days polishing put the cover on the next day full of surface scratches There is a stormforce weathershield cover tailored for the s2 which is £135. I may go for that when i get some more money. The nearest garages to me are about 2 miles away

I wish I hadn't popped into the forum.... :-(

Hi Stevie mate how's life? I only popped in to have a look at the old girl and I wish I hadn't now She's looking great m8 and I love the wheels.

Hope she's going well for you?

When you're ready for me to come down to Kent, to pick her back up, just let me know I have a feeling it will happen one day lol... I sure hope so

Hi Jonny, the car is going great for me although it has emptied my pocket somewhat. Had loads done. Running about 350-360hp with RS2 upgrade, had new konis with H&R Springs ,polybushes, diff mounts, top mounts, tranny mounts, engine mounts, new wheels, new front bumper and now had all the wiring sorted, Heater matrix replaced, new wing fitted, new boost gauge and got loads more planned. Would bring it to show you but Wales is a fair way
