So I made the switch and picked up my s2000 two weeks ago, going from a 2008 GTI to a 2003 s2000 with only 55k miles. I absolutely love this car and would never go back.
With the GTI I went with the classic VW styling and went pretty far with it, but for the S I have some very different plans.

These are pics from Southern Worthersee 7, right before I parted it out

As you can see I had ridiculous stretch (205/45 on a 10" wide wheel), camber (-5), and lows (full air suspension with notched frame and other cut bits to make it lower)
For the S I want something I can drive the crap out of, so I've already begun modding it that way.

I bought the car bone stock and 2 weeks into owning it I have an Invidia q300 exhaust, 70mm Invidia test pipe, K&N Intake, and Buddy Club N+ coils

I have many plans for this car but the next step is finding a certain set of wheels which are proving to be extremely illusive...

Thanks for looking, I'll post updates in this thread I guess

 

congrats on the car and welcome to the club

 

nice car, please dont ruin it with hellaillest/homo fitment

 

+1 on this. Grats on the car.

 

Welcome! I too switch from a MK5 GTI. Worth every penny!

 

Wishful thinking.

 

I've moved on from the fitment game and now I want a car that I can actually drive

 

Congrats bruddah.
