Just read through this thread for the second time its an awsome build all the neat touches are so subtle that you have to look hard to spot them whats next?? I have a question how did you make your act gauge surround was it from plasticcard? i think its spelt right do you have any pics of it being made or was it pre digital when you done it?

Congratulations from Brazil.

Looked over the 129 pages and your car is simply stunning.

I am really out of words.

I'm going to keep following this thread and wait for new updates.

I'm guessing that you'll be painting the 'reverse charge carrier'
On autospecialists site I think it would be helpful if you could enlarge the picture of them fitting this kit to their S2 as I find it hard to visualise how it fits in the smaller pictures, just a thought. In relation to their standard single pass cooler this one looks HUGE.

Look forward to taking a look at this fitted to yours at central day. Bring it on! lol
