Default modifying ideas for a mercury grey s2?

i got a xr3i that im turbo converting, but, I have never modified a RST before,

I got a good idea where im going engine wise, etc, but not exterior and interior wise,

I dont want to go down the big bodykit option,

but does anyone have pics, or ideas of what looks nice on a S2.

I was thinking S1 arches and skirts, escos alloys, opening rear quater windows, 90spec front bumper and spoiler, and the bumpers smothed,

interior wise escos leather interior,

Duno about smoothed bumpers but i think you have just answered your own question with your own list imo. I personally wouldnt stray from what you have said.The end result should look great.

I like them completely standard trim wise and some Sierra Cosworth wheels. Perfection.

Standard bodywork bar maybe some delocking and opening rear quarter windows. Nice wheels. Big brakes and a monster engine

Full XR3i looks, lowered on motorsport rims (Comps or Speedlines etc).

XR3i's are way rarer than RSTs these days, especially original ones, and they look great.... why not use it's looks rather than just make yet another fake RST?
