Hi Stuartie,
I have finally found my Aero and it's a cracking car Ive only been out with the guy selling it in the rain and yes and as you say the hood nearly works.
Its not major but needs sorting out.
So that's one of the first jobs to be done an attempt to make it water tight. If you know the best way to go about it please let me know.
I will update you all with pics when I have taken delivery in a week or so.
Happy new year and safe driving cheers all TRMAN
Congratulations TRman, your perseverance obviously paid off.
My S2 was watertight other than in the most extreme thunderstorms, and it was fettled by the factory to get it so, mainly at the header where the catches close. Can't be more specific than that but if you're not far it may be worthwhile taking it to them to adjust? Or any decent dealer?
Hope you have many happy miles and please remember pics
