Just sped read through this thread....


Not personally a fan of S2's, but this is totaly mind blowing.

The attention to detail is awe inspiring, and perfectly executed.

Think I'm going to have to steal your rear diffuser idea I'm afraid, but for my Impreza...

Keep it going.

Looking cool that Dave.

How much did the sealer weigh when you put it all on? Not like you'll probably be bothered at all

Sorry Dave i have to say i am not keen, the carbon looks nice but it would have been the finishing touch if the roof had been replaced with a carbon one not just had it stuck over the top.

I was wondering that too....

Thought maybe you would be re-lacquering over the lot once fitted, or is it going to be a 'sealed' joint...?

Looking good though, and one things for sure, it ain't coming off...

Ok the roof is all on now along with the pillers thought i would post up some pics ,headlining will be made at a later date to cover the hole
Went for a normal butt join with the pillers ,with some sealer as i did not want to hide the join as it would have to be 100% if i went this route

Gutters were masked up and a bead of sealer was applied and smoothed out and then puffed over satin black ,felt this was the best way to go here as did not want any filler cracking if i applied it here
