well its not quite 'in your face' like some things that have appeared on cars over the years, and it is subtle in the sense that it replaces standard s2 vents nicely

Why would you go to the hassle of filling in the original s2 vents when you could have just got a standard mk4 bonnet?

i dunno whether to take this as a compliment or sarcasm lol im hopeful of the 1st though

to anybody who doesnt like it, thats all good, we all have an opinion. but to say it isnt subtle is random, its not like its a glued on scooby vent, its a blended in louvre style, directly above the turbo, infact its more function than form if anythin

and yeh, its a base spec bonnet i got off a bonus, with a big ass hole cut in it

The spoiler on this RST




Also the subtle mods that allowed a not so subtle RS500 spoiler to fit on the Twins S2

cheers dude, nice when somebody appreciates some of the hard work put in, took a fair while to get it looking as neat and smooth as it does, but defo worth it, does the job i want it to do, shift hot air above turbo, and look swich doin it

id have to say tho, in my opinion, twins' front bumper is the winner for me, alfa style offset number plate is a good look

I carnt remember whos car it is but i like that escort cossie which was at gatbil with the osf bonnet vent removed and a bit of the bonnet removed so that the turbo could stick out of the bonnet,or should i say so that the bonnet can close.Im sure the escos was silver too.

well apparently the machinist's at my dads work cant even press wheel studs in without cracking a hub, so if you got a spare rear hub lying about in the 'pool, feel free to send it down midlands way, otherwise, the green s2 just gonna remain shiny and wheel'less lol
