Linen S2 and dog mascot...removed...

[Copperman05]

Well after much pi** taking and laughter all round[] I have managed to remove the pointer mascot from the bonnett of my newly purchased S2. It has left a small mark but I can live with that, not much I can do anyway apart from respraying it, but its not bad enough to warrant that. I am a little concerned that the now exposed metal where it has been drilled out may rust and bubble under the paint around the hole. To help prevent this I have sprayed some anti-rust treatment and plan to use some touch up paint once I get my hands on some.

I have also changed the steering wheel to a Momo Prototipo in black which I think looks 100x better than the old one. RPM have just did the belts, cam chain and a 12K service so now I'm one happy bunny!.. let me know what you think...

Just to remind you how it looked before..

And that steering wheel...[:'(]

 

[Copperman05]

I just need a small grommet now...

 

[Copperman05]

Porsche horn button will complete it...

I think you should of kept the dog, it added a nice touch of class to the car.[X(]

 

[Diver944]

Yeah I really miss it now

Glad that RPM have seen it and sorted out the imminent items.

 

[Wigeon Incognito]

That's looking far better on both counts! Lovely car.

Now you just need that cover for the towing eye.

I can't believe you got rid of the dog, such a waste. It was unique.[]

Well done! Wheel not exactly to my taste in an otherwise standard car, but agreed it's 100x better than the previous one.

I love the Prototipo in all 70's 911s and RS alikes, but I have to say it does make a change from the ubiquitous 'Club Sport' wheels that usually replace the original 'lozenge' - ie like the one in mine[8|][]

Nice looking car []

 

[Copperman05]

Thanks, my thoughts exactly...

Agreed - but I guess I think it's more a stripped out lightweight car's wheel.

In a perfect world perhaps, but in my world you dont need to have a lightweight stripped out car to have a lightweight steering wheel.

Not a criticism, just a further explanation of my earlier comment. I agree that it's infinitely better than the one the car used to have. I like the lozenge personally, but most people don't and there is no "right" choice.

 

[Copperman05]

No offence was taken Fen, sorry if it appeared that way...good to know some people prefer and enjoy these cars the way they were created.

[Fen]

Actually, mine is probably one of the furthest from how it was created on here, and ironically the Prototipo looks less hardcore than the deeply dished, suede-rimmed wheel in my car.

I guess I think the Prototipo looks "vinyl seats and wind-up windows", whereas my car is more "bucket seats, no door cards and no power steering". Having said that I think that there is a place for originality also, but a steering wheel is far from irreversible as a modification; it's not like drilling a hole in a body panel after all [][]

A huge improvement no pooch on the bonnet and a much nicer looking steering wheel too.

Now get out there and enjoy driving it .... you may be some time ... !
