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
yes going to do this charge carrier magic black like the tanks

Hi Tim,
Congrats on the new purchase - Don't worry, i'm working on him to drop the compression and up the boost a tad, but he's worrys that the fly splats will be bigger and harder to clean off if he goes quicker

Looks better and better mate.

How do you keep you front panel pristine looking?! Mine was new and painted but has battle scars from bumper removal/ cooler/ rad/ turbo refits etc etc lol
Stunning. Have to take it for a little drive once she's run up. Weathers set to hold out as it for a bit yet
