Car's looking good. I assumed the name was some twisted Hentai character. I'm quite disappointed really.
How much did that lesson cost out of interest?

£60 because I was adult about it. Could have been a grand.

Yeah I know I run a bit of a risk, but cops in my area seem nice enough. Driven behind and infront of cop cars. Also stopped and had a chat with a copper. No mention of the plate. (The copper did try to tell me the flooded road was ok to cross, just keep the revs up. I decided not to and waited on the side of the road until the road was closed and I could go back the wrong way to the previous slip road.)

I really can't decide whether to get the front lip on my moonrock car! Hmmmm!

P.s. I drive past your car all the time on my way to Chicksands!

Do it!

Took me a long time to get the lip but I cant be happier. Welcome to come round and have a good look. Difference is soo big. I did originally think of getting a replica lip and just have it sprayed, but once you factor in spray and bonding costs, its not much cheaper and the OEM one fits like a glove.

Guessing you are a biker (Manual kind). Not been to chicksands, but about to buy my first proper 4X bike. (Mates old one with a lot of good bits on it)
You coming on the Ricky Run?

I would only ever go from the proper OEM item if I did it. Gone are the days of buying knock off stuff!

I do like it, I may well come round and have a look soon. Where did you buy it from?

What is the Ricky Run? I'm working away in Frankfurt at the moment, so not likely to be around for a while.

Yeah I'm a DH rider, so Chicksands is our local hunting ground to waste a few hours on a Sat morning. Love that place cos its so close!

I'm glad another passionate S2000 enthusiast has joined our club.

I understand the essence of what you're trying to achieve, however I wouldn't have chosen those products.

Fair enough. I have seen that there are many of the S200 D** private plates still available and when they are spaced like that they do look like they say S2000 but it is cheating a bit. I'd rather have one of the decent plates like S200 O* or S200 O** which are much rarer but cost a lot more. If I can't get one of those I'll probably just stick with the normal one.

Yeah a S200 0.. Would be nice but I could not merit the price. Could just about justify the base price (£250) which I paid for this one and last 2 digits are my initials, so double win.
