Default Clear repeaters on a Silver S2000

I know its been said before, but thanks to Beno getting an unnecessary set of clear repeaters for Christmas (the 2002 comes with them) I have now fitted them to my Silverstone baby.

She looks amazing, what a difference a couple of quid makes to the side view of the car, removing the crappy Honda logo above the S2000 logo, swap to clear repeaters and the removal of that orange blob lightens the look of the car and finishes it beautifully.

If you haven't already, go order them today

Beno - Thanks again, I am very very pleased with the result

completely agree - changed mine to clear ones last week, I don't know why it took me so long to do it.

As soon as they're available from my local Honda dealer on the 2002 parts list I'm getting a set (plus the console cover!)

Pete, I'm pretty sure that 2002 console cover is going to cost real $ to fit - from my experience with the seats out it looked like you'd have to pull the glovebox section out to fit it. Anyone help out on this??

I'll be interested to get a price on the 2002 repeaters though, they look very tasty

I like the look of the flush repeaters appearing on quite a few new cars - any ideas if these are available???

From the pictures I've seen the 2002 repeaters are a lot lower profile than the OEM & aftermarket ones for 200/2001 cars hence my interest

Hi Pete - I believe (but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) the Honda console cover is synth. leather (ie plastic ) - I think either Rick's or possibly AusS2000's real dead animal version will be a better bet (probably not much difference in price either if I know Honda UK parts prices!

Well from this thread the OEM vinyl centre console weighs in at a hefty $398 vs Ricks personalised leather one at at $160. Ricks can also be DIY'd whereas the OEM one is going to be a real toil to fit. I wouldn't like to speculate how many of those crappy clips down the side of the centre tunnel you'd need to replace either

Ian, could you give me a price on the plastic centre console trim (the one that surrounds the gear stick, handbrake etc. for both 2001 & 2002 cars please?

Thanks!
