So thats what its meant to look like when its clean, I'll need to clean mine properly at some point
.
Looks lovely but you're going to be in tears when the RS comes out and mullers it left right and centre - both from a performance perspective and a residual perspective too.
Doubt it from a financial standpoint, the RS is (allegedly) going to be £25k new so its already in a different price bracket from the STs. It's also going to be in rather limited numbers again. If it's anything like the last RS the prices won't dip for at least a few years, meaning the ST's won't be affected.
Don't doubt if from a performance standpoint
. You can easily up the power in the ST to match the RS (remap, 'proper' inter-cooler, etc etc) but the RS trick suspension and wider track is going to help it a lot.
