Default Some Pics of the old tub

Well after yesterdays fiasco of trying to clean her I managed to finish it tonight. She may not be too everyone's taste but I like it & I suppose that all that matters really.

Any comments (good or bad) are always welcome
Enjoy

your bonnets not shut properly

im not rilly a fan of the big red pissflaps, looks fine on an EVO, but a S2 isnt much(ok any) of a rallycar.

black car and white wheels is always a good choice.

and a nice big GRS cooler

I'm surprised about people saying about my big red flaps. I really like them and thought it was quite a change from either the standard look or the big bad body kits.

Keep the comments coming it's quite interesting to hear what people think but i'm not gonna lose my flaps

The flaps have been on for about 2 months now.

I know the series 2 was never a rally car but I think it makes it look quite different from most S2's.

As I said before as long as I like it I suppose that's all that really matter even if other people think it looks iffy. But it is nice to hear what other poeple think. Cheers for the comments guys (even if you don't like my flaps)

As I said I didn't think it would be to a lot of people's taste but it's my baby and I'm happy with her.

There's a picture of it in performance ford in the Jan or Feb issue on the EA rolling road which is under the dirty dozen with out the flaps and I think it looks so much better now, but again that's my opinion & other people may not agree.

Sorry about posting it on this board but I did put it up for general discussion as I wanted to hear other peoples ideas.

If one of the mods wants to move this then please do.

I'm shocked at the dislike of my flaps

I think they set it off quite well but everyone is entitled to an opinion & I did want to hear everyones views, so although most people think they are cack etc etc I still like them & I'll still stick with them.

Unfirtunately, it's in need of a respray & some body work doing at the mo as there are a few dinks & donks which haven't come out in the pics, but thanks for the comments everyone

Lose the stupid flaps

Just because a mod makes your car stand out doesn't mean it looks good A 30inch pink cock stuck to your roof would make your car stand out but it wouldn't make it look good

Don't like the flag on the parcel shelf either or the cream dials

Looks nice apart from that

Looks good with the flaps (in the fesh)- I've seen it about a few times.
pictures don't do it justice, but I think it needs to be driven across a field, cause it looks too shiney

Cheers chris
might have to be taken for a good rag and then see what the response is. I'll pop down in about 2 weeks to sort out the hoses as waiting for pay day to come round. Thanks for sorting them out for us.

The flag was there supporting the boys for what it was worth but now it could be there for Henman
I think I'll take it out tonight.

The thing was off the road for a year having the engine rebuilt and the dials lost their colout then maybe time to invest in some new ones I think
