Welcome San

Best deal? The big choice will probably come down to import V UK dealer.

Try a search on imports and it should throw up a lot of info, not least form on a number of importers. I think you will do well to get more than a grand off a UK dealer list price and importing doesn't seem to offer the savings it once did. There are lots of people on the board who have experience of importing and I'm sure they will comment in due course.

Be aware that there are 'standard' and 'GT' models. The 'GT' is

Col, you really should follow Roadie's sterling example and mend your thread-slaying ways

San, another thought, trying desperately to drag this back on topic. There are three new colours available that not all dealers seem to be particularly familiar with. You can see them on the Honda website though - Imola Orange Pearl, Monza Red and a manky metallic slime colour whose proper name I forget. You'll end up paying

Mark,

is it possible to add these things on after the initial purchase?
Or is it cheaper to do it straight off?

Does the HKS or AEM add much more to the performance?

PS how do i get to be a member of this site??

San, Tachbrook do actually sell the S2000 from new, complete with the HKS exhaust, manifold and racing suction kit. It adds around
