Realised I never put an Introducion thread up so figured I should or people wonder who the poster is! I'm from Northern Ireland just outside Belfast! Only ever owned Hondas and recently became an s2000 owner after deciding I couldn't afford a NSX-R

My names Andy btw!

Tine for the sob story!

Photos of the s2000... Bought it like this mainly for the mods but the different colour was a real bonus

It has genuine Enkei RPF1s
Ksport coilovers
Veilside rear spoiler
OEM front lip
Custom interior retrim - BMW napa leather with Bentley cross stitch







My favourite place to be:



So I owned the car for about a month and loved it so much, had it all cleaned up to take it out for a spin one night and came out to see that some 'person' done this to it:



At first I was so annoyed that someone could do that and just drive off but obviously have got over it and thought id try and make this a positive. I had money set aside to save for a supercharger but after wanting an Indy Yellow s2000 since I was 15 I thought I should just go all out and get the car done yellow. So got a new door, new rear bumper and a few other subtle changes and the car is currently like this:



Car should be done very soon, Indy yellow with the enkeis painted Maserati grey

Excited about getting it back is an understatement

Unfortunately peoples ethics/morals only extend as far as what they will get caught for.

It's not like you can really miss your car is it

I think I'd rather they drive off than have to listen to them claim they didn't notice it, I couldn't damage someone's car and drive off but hopefully karma will get them!

Welcome. I prefer Indy Yellow but the old colour was nice too. Incidents like that make my blood boil.

I thought I recognised that colour! I remember it was for sale a while ago now, possibly on PH? It definately stood out!
