UK AP1
Hi recently got my s2000, its a UK AP1 with the F20C engine (40,000 miles).
This forum has been usefull for getting my radio code (Honda dealer wanted £15/$22), finding and replacing correct fuse to fix radio and cigerette lighter port, and installling the aux cable. Mods I am looking to do are exhaust (looking at invidia q300) and maybe intake. I want to keep the car mostly stock. The colour is new formula red.

Looks very nice!
From the looks of her the car is a "face lift" 2006 or 2007. From the wheels, the 2004/2005 are different as are the '07 & '08. Pretty much the same as the US AP2 models of the same year albeit with the 2.0 engine.
If it is an '06 or later it should be drive-by-wire (DBW) and easily tuned with FlashPro for much more midrange power. Highly recommend a Gernby tune.
Highly recommend AGAINST the Invidia Q300 exhaust. Drones painfully between 3000 and 4000 rpm -- right where the engine runs on the highway. If you don't want earplugs your wife or girl friend will (may they never meet). Find someone with this exhaust -- or any aftermarket or modified exhause -- and listen to it from inside the car. Sounds wonderful outside the car but we don't live there.
I had this exhaust for no more than a few weeks earlier this year before it got too painful to drive. Replaced with the wonderful but more expensive Tanabe Medalion Touring Dual system. I took a financial beating buying the wrong exhaust first.
