Go the whole hog Clive, get the RS2 rear bumper cut to the coupe and fit the RS2 deflector

Agree, that will make it a "real" RS2 Coupe, RS2 front bumper is on 50% or so of all S2 coupes already.

[CliveH]

I'm all over it, but can't find a how-to thread on that - is there much cutting involved and how is the rear deflector fitted?

[dkw_dude]

It is quite a bit of work I think, here's a few pic's i found from another conversion.

i must say im not impressed with the last photo. looks like the bumper is sitting too much out.

i have seen some other photos with better looking rs2 rear bumper, but no how to.

You have to remove a good section out both sides, I will try find pictures with the amount marked on, you also have to trim the top section slightly and make new brackets, somewhere I have a cut down bumper already but not sure where it is amongst my parts.

Tend to agree on that, but that can possibly be adjusted by removing more from the sides. The S2 bumper is more curved than the RS2 one, not easy to make it look right. Maybe easier to transplant the recess part to a S2 rear bumper?

Clive speak to Acidburn on the rear bumper he has the details and might still have a cut bumper for sale

[Jamo]

That conversion is not the best look at the pics of adu_s2 car for a better conversion

[CliveH]

Thanks for the heads-up on the RS2 rear bumper conversion. I agree this would be one of the final touches.

I'll drop Peter a line.
