Default S2K from ATL to Italy

Hello everyone! I'm 29 and live and work in Naples, Italy. I am originally from Michigan. Recently I decided life is too short to drive a crappy car, and thats what I have here right now, a 1.6 liter Opel Tigra,(a to and from work beater)I think it makes about 90hp. So after searching the for sale forums here for about a month I found https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/106...lanta-ga-18000
gave the owner a depost, put in for vacation time and went to Atlanta, and purchased what is by far the most amazing car I have ever owned. I am currently awaiting shipment of the vehicle and have been since early last month....The longest wait of my life. I had the car detailed before I shipped the car, and it looks brand new now. While waiting I have purchased a whole slew of parts in anticipation. I bought a Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, a new top, a methanol kit w/ failsafe device, Modifry thing for head unit, head unit, components, a yellow top Optima(which i hope doesnt suck), and a custom gauge pod cluster for the vents (where the 3 gauges are, I am putting a 4th, for the methanol failsafe gauge).
Well the car should be here by next Friday. I am huge into traveling, I love it. Normally, I fly and grab a rental wherever I go. Now, I'm about to go on all sorts of trips around Europe in a badass turbo S2000! I think I may start a thread entitled "S2000 European Adventures" basically a rundown of where I went with pics (an idea stolen from my buddy here that has a beastmode GTO http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=443661) At any rate I'll upload more pics and info once the car actually gets here. CIAO!

Very nice.
Do you need to do anything to your car to make it legal for European roads?

Thanks all! I do not need anything to make it Euro legal, I think normally there might be a few small things you might to take care of (those stupid parking lights on the back), but SOF agreement allows us to register them as they are.
