Good motor you've got there.

As per your black un, I am sure you'll do this one just as much justice

Looking good Robin. I recognise the car as I inspected the wrapping on it.

Brave man - there is an excellent thread on this on the US forums as well as the one Floppy did on here. Pay particular attention to the rainrail channel at the rear.

I know it is been done to death in the past, but do you have a pointer to the seat heaters you are fitting? The missus complains it's too cold when we go out with the roof down, so I'm going to have to fit a set this winter.

This is the kit I have bought and is also the kit I have used in my previous 2 S2000's.

I will be fitting the kit once I have done the roof so I will take some pictures as I go along.

There's a lot of work involved, Jack Smith certainly earns his money
