This is how it was looking last year in Port einon

and today: Ive gone back to orange indicators to aid the quattro style, and plan to swap the rs2 to a smoothed mk3 bumper. comments and suggestions wecome .

looks cool mate, glad your changing the rs2 bumper, hate those, unless possibly if they're totally colour coded. i still think your car would look soooo much better if the grill was black.

but other than that looking sweet.

p.s you got any pics with your lights with the mk2 bumper?

HEHE i bought the RS2 when i was 16! totally not down with it any more. itts been 4 years! im thinkin of putting both mk2 bumpers on untill i complete the new arches im doing. ive never seen the grill without the rs2 so it'll be worth a look

as for the grill black. if i have money tommorow, ILL BE DOING IT

. although im gonna leave the slats silver, and if it looks cak, ill do them too. Might put the coupe s sill covers on to cover some welding i had done for the MOT. you can see the overspray of underseal on the sill by the filler neck

Ok so i baught the black paint, and tried something new....
i know when i colour coded it silver, it took a while to get used to it, but i think this time it will end up all back again. we'll just have to see!

Deffinitly still needs mesh to finish it off though.

i know it's a bit late now (although i did show you this pic yonks ago) i think it would have looked cooler with just the slats done in black...

Yeh I Must agree it looks better colourd the way round you shopped it! its gonna have to go all black again though! im just not digging the silver bars ill have to get the can and cam back out tommorow.

might get to work on smoothing out the mk3 bumper tommorow aswell. the rs2's seen its day. im sure a totally smoothed rs2 will sell on ebay.. done it all properly with glass fibre then thin layer of filler. my dad caught his door on the corner when pulling onto my drive

. didnt damage it at all though and his X-mint looking vento now has a massive dent in the door

. thats some thick fiber glass!!! dietrich do decent stuff in all fairness

latest piccy. decided to ditch the RS2 as i wont be able to lower it more.. with the mk3 bumper. and some 13s ill be able to slam it an extra 20mm, + its a much better fit! gonna repaint the arches in matt black, and do the rear to match.
Im still contemplating on using the Coupe S sills in matt black, any suggestions?

A nice day for photography though.
