Thumbs down pics of my S2

Couple of pics first when i first got it from Lake District in August last year:




and how she looks now








Over the winter i've added the following

17" arrows
Lowered 60mm on Gmax kit
brand new headlights
back to orange indicators (not sure if i prefer these or smoked yet)
original boot decal and front splitter added
original Ford spotlights added
strut brace
Pace intercooler
-31 actuator
Superchipped ECU
my ICE

future plans include fittin the Cossie brakes i've got for her, Cossie steering wheel, new plates and a good set-up - hope you like 8-)

looks great Ross, as said before - wheels suit the 88-spec and amber lights perfectly.

The waters beading nicely on it - looks like you've been busy with the polish.
How are you finding it with the way the roads are at the moment with the 17's and the low profile tyres?
It certainly looks the part and has a nice stance to it, but is it practical at -60mm - a bit bumpy??

thanks for all comments!

to be honest yeah, it is a bit bumpy and its prob not the best handling S2 in the world at the moment but it does look ace. I've got my standard wheels for spirited driving or the track

it rubs just now slightly but a little bit of work on the arches should sort it
