Imola Orange AP1 from France
 
Hello

I'm here since a long time and just discover that I didn't introduce myself yet. I'm a S2K owner since 2013. I found mine to replace my daily car. It's a AP1 phase 1.5 originally painted in grey.
I never liked it in grey. Since she mets a traffic barrier (sic) I decided to change the colour to Imola Orange

Only small modifications and few replacements:
  • OEM wheel repainted black (powder coated)
  • air duct to refresh brakes (I live in mountain, brakes doesn't like it)
  • new headlight with rewired DRL
  • new soft top
  • brakes calipers renewed and painted in Imola orange high temperature paint (Wilwood kit in front)
  • air duct K&N (in fact I had to change the OEM but ... more expensive than K&N kit :p)
I let some photos to illustrate

No modify button here? hum .. whatever.

I didn't mention that I had it at 125.000km. I negociate its price due to comments about clutch that may be change around 120~140k km .....and I never changed it. 252.000km today. But I think it will be the case. Sometimes I fell it slips; or maybe it's just a leakage from gearbox but if I open it I should change the cluch too.

Looks very nice! After seeing these photos I've changed my mind regarding Imola Orange which I always thought was hideous. Same with black wheels. :) Nice combination.

I have to say that orange looks really good on the S2K!

Glad I change your mind about this colour. I also put black monograms (repainted or from CR model). Orange calipers looks great behind black wheels :wub:.

I'm agree but here white is uncommon (by the way S2000 is uncommon). This car deserve a special colour :rolleyes:
