Default New Owner Royal Navy Blue

hi everyone finally got myself a honda s2000 in royal navy blue had it almost a month
traveled to Cardiff to pick it up and had a fantastic drive back to Birmingham.

after the first day of owning it i went and purchased a mugen gear knob as the original one was in a bit of a state also added sokie tech hood dampers



paint work was in a bit of a state which soon went in for a detail and dents removed







the 50/50 shots were amazing





End Result



few more things yet to do
have wheels refurbished in smoked chrome
new tyres already ordered (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2)
brake calipers rebuilt and painted

Update
09/11/14 finally got the wheels redone in smoke chrome got to say they look amazing just need to get the centre caps done
new front discs calipers and pads fitted



gave the car a full clean and quick detail

+1 for seeing the wheels, I'm debating doing something similar or changing them for black wheels. I could do with a detailing job like that too, looks great.

Congrats on purchasing the best colour

Welcome to the Pensioner blue club Looks like a scouring pad was used to clean yours in its previous life - how do you get swirl marks on the high level rear light ?! With no swirls and a good detail it's a colour that really looks amazing in all sorts of light conditions, you'll find yourself staring it it like a loon at sunset (just make sure nobody sees)
