Default Found me a S2000!

Hi all!

I've found a nice s2000 which is mine next week! Some questions though......

1) the wind deflector (sits between the headrests) - how much are these to buy & fit? Are they really necessary?
2) Bridgstone S02's for the back - how much can these be had for?
3) Where can I get a s2000 reg plate? The one I'm buying already has one but not my initials though! May sell the current one on here if anyone's interested (will let you know the letters after I finalise the sale).
4) Hard tops - what's the going rate? will it be cheaper further down the line?

Thanks in advance!

Drac.

1. Not essential, but speaking as someone who is pretty hardy about dropping the top in winter, I found that without the screen on my '00 model, the icey blast at the back of the head is acutely uncomfortable in colder weather. Much improved since fitting my screen and clear plastic inserts in the headrests. Rick and Aus S2000 both supply aftermarket screens. Another member Major Havoc makes the plastic headrest inserts very cheaply and will ship.

2. Rear SO2s about

1) I can't tell if the wind deflector is up or down if I'm driving along in warm weather, as Cedric says cold weather top down driving is another matter.

2) Dunno

3) A good site to search is newreg be aware though that some plates advertised are not available. If you find something suitable you can go to the DVLA site to check its really available.

4) I paid

Got my plate here.

Search for 200 OXX (XX being your initials of course) and select an S suffix

I think somebody has fished out all the S200 Oxx's for resale, I have tried about 30 combinations, and everything below and above is there but the magic 200 is gone.
