My S2 coupe

I not 100% sure so dont shoot me down but im sure he means that instead of the door card and the dash edges lining up height wise i think he means that the dash sits further forward.

Just tried this on mine, looened the bolts and got my knee under the dash and retightened, much better but not perfect.

Oops I think there's a thread hijack happening!

To further the hijack: I seem to remember there are screws on the tops of the doors to adjust the height of the door cards.

[TimE-J]

Dont worry about the hijack!

Yeh hadnt really thought about it, i dont want it to look realy shiny just what it too look clean and new!

Just a quick update,

Fitted a new 710n recirc valve as old one failed earlier in the week.

Anyone know of a good paint silver paint that looks factory so that I can paint the IM and rocker cover, does it need to be high temp paint?

Why not bead blast and laquer, or polish?

Dash has probably droppped. If you loosen the two little bolts behind the covers in the door jamb you should be able to push the dash up and retighten the bolts with it in the right position

at least that's not the case on LHD models, only dual airbag models seem to line up correctly.

Just went to s2 now and its the same my driver door panel doesnt line up with the dash either.

@sjw185 thats my ramp at work, ive got a set of keys and the boss doesnt mind so is quite handy, shame he wont let me build my mk2 golf there got to do that at home on the drive!

My RHD avant dash does not line up with the door trim on the passenger side so I suspect its not a LHD vs RHD thing.

Love the workshop
Coupe looks great good work

[TimE-J]

I couldnt honestly tell you, whats the matter with the LHD type?

[quattrostyle]

slight off topic, I notice that the door panel on the passenger side matches the dash perfectly, on LHD unfortunately it doesn't Is the door panel different or is the RHD dash a better fit?

That would be my other choice, but would be like andy g's car. Both good wheels just easier to source the bbs rims than s8's (if you go for rep's)

[TimE-J]

i dont know I have been considering them but im still not sure, would mind seeing what a set of bbs lm's would look like but I dont know. Would also like a set of either cup 1's or reps.
