I dig the blacked-out capella grille and 74-style valence with the slats removed. It gives you a nice mean intake down there.

Nice beaver, too. Where'd you find that rear beaver panel?

Thanks bro.....all the bits and pieces I had in stock as I used to race the lil 2's in circuit modifieds and classic classes....the modifieds had wings on but for classics the lil beaver is acceptable cos its period.

very nice rx2. i wonder, are the old school RX cars such as the rx2, rx3, and rx4 rare over there in the UK? i'm thinking of importing one sometime in the future if it's not so much of a hassle.

Is that Valence from an RX3?? Or is it a Capella Valence? The whole front of the Car looks like a Capella and not an RX2.

Looks very nice. I definately like the look of it with out the bumpers. Especially since my Rx2 has the US mandated 5 mile per hour crash bumpers. The tail looks sweet too. And you guys sure are lucky to be living in a place where the sun doesnt destroy your door panels and dash. Amazing to see that stuff in such good shape.
