Are you going to do something about the numberplate, Mark? I'd be looking at a stick on numplerlate, like PJL's car.

And what's with the numberplate blanking? Who on earth is going to superglue a step around the sills of their S2000 in order to properly clone your car?
Hi PL, I did think about sticky plates but wasn't sure on the legality. They don't look great as they are (although they are new) but I would just take them off on track. Again i'm not really fussed on the looks front Actually what i'd really have liked is an old ragged MY99 car which looked like a shed outside, and had lots of nice shiny bits hiding underneath

Looked at that too Steve, but I think it would need the Evo plate holder (chunky thing) to stop it flapping off!

This plate is staying on, crap as it looks I don't drive this car on the road other than to get to a track.

Why on earth did you take the amp out???

FWIW, I like the skirts, and I too don't see what all the fuss is about. As for the plate, 'meh'...it's functional.

I'd be interested to see what the Nitrons are like on the road compared to my KWs, which I have yet to setup 100% to my taste.

AMP = weight and I don't do megabass

I think I was near your place today, picking up some bits from CoolChris

Better than OEM I was surprised how disappointing the ride was when I reverted back to OEM dampers (with only 25-30K on them)

I'm more interested in the shiny new coilovers tbh!

R8, cheers. Got some wheels coming soon I think and picked up some rear A048s today.
what wheels are you looking at?

If you can be bothered with a sticky plate Mark, I went out in my mates kit car yesterday (robin hood, caterham style thing) and asked him about his front sticky. He said it's legal as long as its reflective (mounted at an angle on his nose cone aswell). Don't know if it's a kit car only thing or what though. Besides.... have a look at Lofty's plate if you want to worry about legality issues! LOL
