You jammy git! I'm looking for a S2 but never in my wildest dreams would i expect one to come up so original and with such low mileage!

fair play mate, looks spot on.

yeah was debating keeping them on there but i prefer the slightly newer look with the clear indicators. but naturally im keeping everything that comes off the car so if i want to put it back to standerd i will.

thanks for everyones input.. will keep you posted with any other little tinkering i do.....

Agree again on that. Can get away with the rears, but the front looks better standard on this original example imo.
