    ... sorry Corey but the only way i can see this helping the S2, is that the beauty and wonder of the S2 is subjective...so you ned a shed like that to compare it to!
    (if all cars were S2s then they would not be so unusual and special)
    or just go subtle...
    here's my '82 80CD

    60mm drop and a set of E21 Melbers, nothing more, nothing less! Although it does has the 5 pot engine which is nice!

      Coxy, I LOVE the second picture! Very creative.

      You're right, sometimes a subtle change can be better. I guess it depends if you want to keep the originality of the model or shine it up and make it look younger and newer.

        Also with that old 5 pot ... the 80 would sound a hell of alot better than any s2, 10vers just make the perfect noise, much nicer than 20v

          I have to agree with this quote, thats 100% spot on, you listen to any 10v and the sounds amazing.

          With regards to the cars at the start of the thread, tbh I think they are nice even with the green dash, they are classic cars which would stand out for the right reasons against these modern day cars and tbh i'd rather have something like this that some new car. This is one of the reasons why i've still got my audi coupe Gt5s, the cars have character its what helped audi get where they are today.
