Default My AP1 S2000 - lightly modified

I have now had my S2 for 6 months and have finally 'paid up' for my subscription so thought I would post up some photos.
The car is a 2001 AP1 UK car fitted with genuine rear spoiler and side spats (now carbon wrapped). It has only covered 50,000 miles and has been pampered. All the paintwork except the smoothed front bumper is original. I have had a new Monsoon hood with glass screen fitted last month after putting the hood down when it was cold and cracking the plastic screen, Doh!. Interior is full black leather and is fitted with full Muz mats.
The car has in my eyes been tastefully modified with some quality parts including HKS silent power exhaust, Japspeed decat, HKS induction system, KW coilovers, Work Emotion 8.5x18 & 9.5x18 wheels, drilled and grooved brakes, Spoon braces, detango'd front headlights, smoothed front bumper, coloured plug cover etc. I have also replaced the rear calipers as they were siezed and have painted them all yellow.
I was disappointed with the stereo and could not even hear it with the hood done on tec! It has since been upgraded with roll hoop speakers, uprated door speakers, an underseat subwoofer and an Alpine headunit.
Car is great to drive and does step out nicely when requested!










Here is a video of the car on the rolling road at Viezu Bromsgrove:

I have now got some more engine upgrade parts and have a full progressive nitrous kit to fit. Watch this thread!

Will post up some more pics once I have cleaned it. If I had the money would so boost it, love my boosted cars!
After 6 months I still enjoy the S, more than can be said with my history, 56 cars in 10 years! I really do get itchy feet, but have to say the S is a keeper but will only ever be a road car as I have a modified Lotus Elise track car and also an Evo 6 track car

not a fan of the yellow under the engine bay but the wheel fitment looks spot on, flushed bumper looks great.

Thanks , they are very nice wheels. Got some 245/40/18's to fit on the rears so I can get it slightly lower. At present doesn't rub at all and I think it looks sweet.

Not so far, plate would be legal sized if the car was an import as it used bike size lettering. It's where the Alfa's have it, just not quite as forward facing! I know its not legal but far more readable than many other cars we see through the workshop! I always carry a legal plate under the mat in the boot just in case.
