Default Does this de-value an S2?

If i was to stick a 90 spec spoiler and front bumper on an 88 spec RS turbo...

Would it devalue it or not make a difference when i came to selling it on?

I think it would boost the value of your car as they are the sort after parts that most people would change on an rs turbo.

unless you can also provide the original 88 spec body parts I would personally offer less money for a car with later body parts on it for the simple reason that the changed parts may be required as the result of accident damage however light.

From my perspective, I would say yes

I can understand the originality factor but I would say no
IMO 88 spec spolier looks wank, bumper is alright

Looks better with the 90spec exterior imo, although I do still prefer the earlier seats and door cards.

Everyone seems to wanna buy 90 spec bits when they've got an 88 spec car so would save any new owner a few quid i'd say lol! Nicer lookin imo.
