Hey Rob, Kieron here with the amethyst Nothelle round the corner, nice of you to join... did you have a good new year? And how's the car?

[rob martin]

Congrats on the new born and welcome to the forum

Most S2/RS2's have to wait until 170k to enter the bodyshop

I'm based a bit further up the road on the edge of the Lake District, but if there's a mini-meet going...

car was pretty clean when i got it but i have now gone to town on it. first job was the horrible milltek exhaust hanging too low from the back of it. took it up to ian@pipewerx and he did his thing with it. took the back box off, shortened the hangers, raised it up to suit the rear bumper, cut the trims off and staggered them to the bumper profile. the car is due to go back up to him so he can take the cats off, make me a 3" downpipe and full system and nice new back box and trims. i just couldn't live with the exhaust as it was.
