Anton's RS2Coupe project

[rs2coupe]

darked out

It's over due isn't it?

Good news I finally got the car back from the painters.

New Carbon Fiber hood with black paint on the outer edges and clearcoat carbon fiber in the center

New oem RS2 front and S2 rear.
RS2 underheadlight trims
Bucket lamps not hooked up yet, need HID's
New RS2 grille and black rings
New RS2 airduct/fog lamps
New RS2 markers
New RS2 mirrors
New late Cabbie fender mouldings w/out logo
paint matched US coupe tail center
Treser tail lamps to set it off ( got these from our friend Flexx )

While testing out the look of my new Cup1 rims from my homeboy in the United Kindom of Gentlemen, Rob aka 'GT500' thanks buddy! I noticed that these incompetent fools painted the new parts a different black

I'll have to get the shop to take care of this mess or have another shop do the rest of the work. I am not happy with these fellas.

I decided to take off the rubber door mouldings to replace with new but then realized the left and right fender mouldings are missing from my last purchase at vagparts. Anyway how do I take off the old ones?

Thats' it for now

Looking good, when are you getting the new wheels fitted?

[Acidburn]

Looking good just wondered if you could pop a picture up of the following:

New late Cabbie fender mouldings w/out logo
New RS2 markers

Whats your plans for the car next once they've sorted out the paint?

[rs2coupe]

Man, I wish I could say soon but funds are low right now. I'll get there but in a few months I think. Thanks for the positive comment

Very nice Anton. The Cup1s are fantastic and once mounted will complete the look. Glad to see the pics here. You finally give up on getting them to me via mobile phone?

Hope you get things sorted with the knuckleheads at the body shop.

Seeing you car keeps me motivated. I still have a long way to go.

Sure, gimme a few days.

No major plans other than machining the carriers to fit RS2 hubs/bearings and throwing on the cup1s. It should be straight forward following 'The Spanish' lead Im sticking with 993tt calipers and discs up front. The rear will be standard RS2 calipers but I am unsure what discs to use. Also making the handbrake function of the RS2 work on the Coupe.

Good morning bud!
yes I failed miserably with the phone pics...long boring story

Yea you know how much headache these guys have given me and now this! Atleast they did a good job rather the fact they used someone else paint.

Likewise friend it's a long way there but more fun together

I've heard you can fit the rims without swapping over hubs/discs etc which would probably be quicker and cheaper.

The rear brakes you could fit monobloc porsche rs2 rear brakes in the place of standard rear brakes this has been done before.

I appreciate your suggestions Acid.

I'm sadly a perfectionists too and cannot help myself. It's got to be oem rs2 for this build.

RS2 interior
RS2 exterior
RS2 engine/tranny
RS2 rims/brakes/hubs etc..

That's OK.

I haven't been very fast in getting my RS2 rear caliper brackets out to you so you can get your bearing carriers machined to fit them. Which is keeping those Cup1s off your car.

heh it's okay dude.. should I paint the centers? Here are those RS caps I picked up. I need to find the Audi versions too.

[saltinot]

Tommy likey.

The OE RS2 center caps are all silver, so if you wanted a more OE look I'd leave'm be.

However I do like the black RS also. I probably paint the "RS" just to have it stand out a little.

[rs2coupe]

haha I meant the centers of the cup1 rims. Those RS caps are staying silver, Id rather just buy the black version than muck these up. Might have to hit you up for those and some magnesium lug nuts one time.

I can dig painted centers. What shade are you considering?
