Default New owner.

First off I would like to say hi! Tho I've just picked up my s2k, I have been a forum member for a while. And what a good fourm it is!

I'll get some pictures upload as soon as I can, but basically the car is a 2000 b'black with full Honda service history with 57k and a glass screen hood. I've only driven the car about 200miles since collecting it as it's due a service, which is booked in with rob @ garage-r. The car also came with a aem? Induction kit and a set of 18" OZ alloys, which sound and make the car look amazing bit I quite like to stick with Honda parts and therefore I might take these items off, what's peoples opinion of 18" wheels?

I'm hoping the weather is decent over the next few days as I would like to clean'n'treat the hood, is the hood vinyl? I think it is as it's a standard glass hood from Honda.

Thanks, hopefully I'll get some pictures up within the next day or so.

Hello and welcome you'll have to update your sig to owner and add your location too. Pics of new cars are compulsory

18's are quite a hot topic, I think the general consensus is they are too big for the S, most stick with 17's. The standard roof is indeed made from vinyl, 2 of the most popular treatments are 303 Protectant and Autoglym Vinyl Cleaner.

Here are some pics... Taken a month or so ago when I went to view the car.... I'll take some better ones once the weather clears up....









Got the car service @ GarageR, really good service highly recommended! Cheers Rob, really enjoyed the 90miles drive home!

Can't wait to get the porter cable on her and give her some TLC... Dam weather!!!

Hi Rocy, looks sweet! the first S I ever saw was on the launch day Honda showroom, black inside and out looked like the batmobile yours looks neat and tidy. Post pics when you've done the roof that will turn the gray to black as well.
Have you got the Tonneau cover as this will lift the looks with the top down?

My vote goes to 17in wheels, and the top is deffo vinyl woven to look like fabric (unless it's been changed at some time for a mohair).

Hi Mate, and Welcome!

Lovely looking S, its very similar to mine!

Infact I think you even have the exact same alloys, are they OZ ultraleggera?

I have them in 18" also and i think they look great, I had mine powdercoated black...
