Got all the above jobs done except for the ram. The bloke who was supposed to have done the job has been off sick. Is now due to be done next week. At least he seems to be keen to get on with it.

It is fun looking after two Activae. Proper winding our lass up as her mot is due soon. And if her car needs substantial amount of work to pass it will be off road for a while. Thus meaning she will have to use the silver car. I secretly think she wants to drive the car because of the power it has, definitely quicker than the blue one.

Saw a s1 aggressive Activa front bumper for sale on here somewhere. What are chances of it fitting on a s2. I am assuming there will be some differences in the fitment.

No, as long as you have the gaiter and the garage has the instructions and the tools needed (they should) that you (and they) are good to go :D
