when alls said and done mate its still an rs turbo and if he changes a few choice bits towing eye inlet manifold ecu interior not many people will notice only the sad pratts who bleat on about genuine this and original that. i say get a life, in the big scheme of things its anougher rs saved from the breakers regardless of what panels are on it and a s2 is a s1 with a few modifications on it and people should encourage the owner to join the rs owners instead of pointing out this aint right and thats wrong no wonder the rs owners is in a bad way

pauls.ego Chill Paul.
Which sad pratts who bleat on about orig this and that? You know that isn't me ! Since when have my cars been standard? I even modified the shitty 1.3 astra me & a mate bought for driving to work and back everyday with lowered suspension ffs! I can't leave anything standard. Even had my penis enlarged as the 10" I had wasn't big enough

I was referring tongue-in-check to the "get away with it being a real S1 on a D plate" comment anyway. I'm not saying the car's shite cos it's not..just said that people who know their RST's will know it isn't a gen S1. Takes nothing away from the car itself, because you can see by the pics the condition it's in

Btw..who mentioned not joining RSOC ?? Luckily it's an S2-in-disguise so he's still eligible to join if he wanted.
