Default The s2 daily

So here it is, my s2 that ive owned for nearly 2 weeks.
Its got all the usual full exhaust system, k&n, intercooler, -31 actuator oh and a bullshit valve
At the minute I want is looking how I want it too
I've already got a proper fuel cap as it had a temp one fitted

I'm going to fit front ambers as well as change the rear lights to ambers as well as I prefer the look.
It needs black strips put back into the bumpers.
Also the steering wheel needs to go in favour of either a 3 spoke or 4 spoke steering wheel and along with that i'll be getting rid of the dump valve

using them is good for em. the amount of people with problems related to laying them up should be enough to encourage people into running them regular. as long as there looked after they are reliable.

Looks nice mate. I like them with the ambers but smoked rears.

Fair play for using it daily too, i've been using mine but the novelty has worn off a bit now it's bad weather
