Default Ciao! New S2k owner from Italy!

Hi guys!

I'm Federico, I'm new here, I'm from Northern Italy and I'm finally a proud owner of one my major dreams, her.





I promise to post better photos in future... '03 Silverstone Grey stock S2000, except for OEM Hartop and Rest. front bumper. Black leather interiors, 115k kms, she's perfect.

I'm now looking for a couple of Honda red logos and first of all I want to change the white headlight reflectors with amber/orange models, US style. In future, coilovers, braided brake hoses, and (if Italian law's will permit...) 17" rims.

I hope to learn as much as possible here... Thanks!

Welcome. Why would Italian laws prevent you from putting 17" rims on?

Welcome and enjoy your new wheels.

Where are you in Northern Italy? Some of us were out there at last years Euromeet in Trento.

Nice! Love the JDM headlights. Strange how we (US) seek after the JDM style and other places want the US style. lol.

Enjoy the ride!

Italian Law is very restricted in terms of mod. Every car has a "Registration book" where are written all measures of wheels and tires that you can fit on your car: all the Pre-rest models ('99-'04) in Italy can -officially- mount only 16" rims. If Police stop and control your vehicle, they can fine your and/or seize the car...

It's possibile to ask an authorization directly from Honda or a normal motorization, but unfortunately I live in a place full of burocracy... Maybe can pass 3 or 4 months and lot of money just for taxes. Anyway today in Monza circuit I saw a '02 S2k with 18" OZ Superleggera, so I definitely think that is possible
