Happy to buy/forward if needed.

That's a much more sensible price, but is it the same fit as for right-hand drive?

Somebody on here was searching for this a couple of months ago.

Would it fit my s2 it doesn't look like what's on at present ?

I think it's the right part - but (a) it's upside-down and (b) there's a serious shadow in that photo that makes it difficult to see what shape the thing really is.

[Stwdv]

Oh well I will let you know when it arrives
Got to be better than the broken one I have !!!

[Stwdv]

we will see today when it arrives ??

[Stwdv]

Nope!

not even at 22mph

It's perhaps an S1 S2 thing?

Nope, but it rubs against the bottom lip of the dash, and the two halves jump out of alignment sometimes if I'm on a bumpy road.
Never got round to fettling it, not sure if it would stop doing it if I trimmed it back a bit: don't want a gap really, so I just live with it as it is.
Part of the "character" !
