    Apologies for the ropey pics. A combination of crap iPhone camera and seriously dirty car! I'm soooo pleased with how it looks now.

      THE best mod for an Avant!
      Did you have lots of fun adjusting the rods?

        I am still tempted to do this to mine rather than use the RS2 rear bumper/reflector...

        Looks great!

          I prefer it much more than the RS2 setup

              So do I, but the RS2 front looks better to me, not so much with the dark colours, but I hate the black bottom of the S2 bumpers, but they look crap painted too!

              Did you remove the Aero rear wiper??? Just fitted a set to mine yesterday...

                Fitzy's looks really good with the black bottom painted in I thought.
                How about RS2 front bumper and 90 rear panel?!

                  I am thinking about that, but to me the bumpers just don't match, the RS2 is very rounded while the S2 is quite square. I could fill in the line on the rear one and paint it to see what it looks like i guess...

                  Sorry for the hijack!

                      You'll have first refusal Lee

                      I could do both, and put an S2 Forum plate in the 90 panel

                          Yeah took the aero wiper off. It looked nice but worked crap!

                          Dest - I didn't adjust the rods. In the end I drilled and tapped a hole in the striker (the sprung bit that actuates the mechanism) and put a screw in there. This brought the two parts closer together and reduced all the slack in thd handle. I wish I'd taken pics!

                              That is a really good idea, any chance of a right up or something on it?
