Lets not forget, they updated to the 02 model last year. I would have thought if they were going to redesign/facelift they would have done it then.

If you want to see the new colours coming out in March, check this out.....

http://www.honda.co.jp/S2000/

I went to the motorshow back in October and spoke to the Honda people there, the only changes they mentioned was the new colours. (Lime green metallic, New Imora Orange Pearl, Monza Red Pearl, Platinum White Pearl)

Happy viewing!!!

PS I've done a fair few miles since I got mine last month, and loved every one ot them!! It's a great car, but it is drinking fuel like there's no tomorrow!!!

Neil - i would say the 02 changes constituted nowhere near an updated model. Frankly i thought they were a joke....and honda did very well out of not much.

Alison - thats the 2003 colour range is it? i'm hoping they'll think about some styling changes in 2004.....

new TT out in 2005 - will be major competitor worldwide - has there been any views of this yet?

yep they're the 2003 colours. If you live nr maidstone, you might want to check out drake & fletchers at parkwood, they told me they're gonna be getting an orange one and perhaps a green one when they are released!!!

I'll ask them about any changes for 2004 next time I'm there.

orange one and perhaps a green one
Cant be any worse then the Pink one being driven in Fast and the Furious II.

I must say that I have seen many pictures of the WHITE (not available here unless imported) and it looks great ... well I think so anyway.

In response to the thread question ..... no not this year unfortunately ..... too many other commitments at the mo including the pending company car (yeah yeah I know what you thinking ..... ask for an s2000 ala Gazzer - The company has unwritten rules about convertibles so it looks like the CTR for me this year)

I hope they don't change it too much, it's quite an aggressive looking car, hope they don't soften it up!!!

Is the picture your s2000?

lol.....no......just a photoshop jobby!

Maybe they'll just use the Mugen kit to spice it up a bit and extend the life of the current shape??

So where abouts in kent are you?
