Congratz on a RS2 purchase! I have a threat myself on VACN, so its no reason to wait, join and enjoy. So lots of information and lots of nice builds you got many hours reading then, hehe.

I will check if i got RS2 headlight trim or not, and make my mind up about regulare or rs2 trim Ill let you know!

Thanks, and good luck Are you backdating the car to full S2-look? It would look good, especially with the unpainted lower parts of the bumpers and door trim.
Send me a PM if you'd like to sell the headlight trim

Wow, awesome work.I am having vivid flashbacks myself looking at your pics.

That kinda rust seems to be normal, but I bet there is more hiding under the underseal.
