Hi

Someone on the Yahoo Groups RS2 List said Dialynx Performance had supplied them with a new bumper - www.dialynx.co.uk

thanks [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img] i will try that and let you know how i get on.
i am also looking to replace my pads all round.i know this is not straight forward because they have to be semi stripped due to corrosion.do i need a repair kit? a lot of people talk about the rs2 having 968 cs brakes but other people say the spec was changed for the rs2 .do the pads still fit?, and aparentley the original porsche spec are textar are these a good choice [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I can move them if you want

thanks tried dialynx but they said they dont make one, they may be able to get one from the main dealer but were not too enthusiastic.
ive located somebody selling these in luton for £500+vat but i have to collect.im not sure i can beat this.
i cant believe you can buy an rs2 bumper for a golf or corsa for around £200 but no one makes one for the rs2. [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

yes i tried them and have not beaten their price yet,and probably wont as there is not many places to choose from.so far the only other quote ive had is from euro car parts.
only downfall with gpc is i have to collect.by the way their web page is .com not .uk [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

Hi James

From what I've read, I think the standard RS2 brakes were the same as the 968 Club Sport but Audi later offered an upgrade to 993 Turbo cross-drilled discs and pads.
