Default Just got my S2000

Hello everyone,

My name is Phil and I'm from the Netherlands.

After some months of saving, yesterday I bought an S2000.
Its one from the year 2000. Completely stock aside from the radio (OEM radio was included)
It has 85000 Miles on it. I imported the car from the UK myself and got it back home in the Netherlands this morning.

The drive back home was really fantastic and it felt like I've had it for years!
The only thing that needs to be done really is changing the headlights from RHD to LHD to get it registered.

I had 3 things I really wanted the car to have. A completely stock engine, softtop with glass window and a full black interior.
It's got all 3

I do have some things in mind that I want to change on the car, but will start with some small things first.
- Changing all fluids
- remove some of the badges
- And I really love the USDM headlight diffusers. Too bad they're not available in Europe, but I will search and will find









Still need to take some pictures after a good cleaning.

Nice car. The first thing I changed, back in 2001, were my USDM headlights to European lights. A black car with orange side markers was not my thing. On your Silverstone car it should like fine. I'm sure someone on here would be willing to sell you their headlights - cheap.
Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome guys
I ordered some new brakepads and OEM discs today.
Planning to change them next weekend.
Just want the brakes to be fresh once I get it registered.

I didn't do anything to them really.
Must be because they are aligned nicely in the picture I guess
