Looks great. The only thing I feel like is missing is an OEM AP2 front lip.

Nah just a roll and tab relocate! I did the alignment myself but unsure what the exact numbers. I'm running 235/40/18s on the rear and 215/40/18 on the front, thinking 215 is too narrow now though and will be moving to 225 shortly!

Thanks I'm on the fence about a front lip, never seen an oem ap2 front lip in person though so will wait to see one! In fact I've owned the car almost 6 months now and have only seen 2 other S2000s on the road, rather rare here in Kent!

Well i've been 'Stanced' for 3 days and I hate it. Monday I will be fitting bigger tyres and raising the car up so it can be driven properly without me worrying about every single bump in the road ripping something off the bottom of my car!

Not really updated this in a while but here is how the car sits now, I had a little photoshoot with a friend of mine, he does really great work, check out his facebook page!





I also went to Mimms Honda day yesterday, had a nice little parking spot:




Im now selling the Enkei NT03+Ms and looking to get some RPF1s in 17x9et45 rather than 18x9.5et38" and get some AD08s on them. Still have some bodywork issues I want to get sorted and a hard-top when I find one up for sale.

Small update, I got hold of a genuine mugen hardtop off the owners forum. Very rare and they look so much better than the OEM hardtop in my opinion. Its currently silverstone so I need it painted, and i'm also waiting on the brackets to arrive, so its sitting in my flat currently.

I've not updated this in ages!

I had the roof painted & ran an oem+ look for a while:







I also bought some DC5 Recaros, never ended up fitting them though which was a shame.



Then I ran the car on some Wedsport SA70's in 17x9 et32 & 17x8 et35 with Federal RSR's:








However the bodywas was ****ed. Bad paint, lots of scratches/small dents. I went for a full glass out respray with new glass while I was at it.



Front arches made wider



Brakes refurbed from crappy brush red to copper with new discs & pads:

















Some small details, every bit of plastic was repainted:





Moonrock fresh from the gun:







Had the bonnet (Hood for you US lot) vented





Some small rear spats done gloss black



JDP spoiler painted with contrasting black rear



Lights restored









Mugen top painted



And heres the final product, I also had all badges removed & a mesh grill fabricated







I then fitted a nardi wheel:



And finally my favorite photo of my car after I fitted my new Enkei NT03's in 18x9.5 et40 with 245/35/18 Continental Sport Contact 3's



Apologies for the long update
