Default New S2000 owner

Well after a day trip to Scotland and a chase for the boat back to northern Ireland I became an s2000 owner a few weeks back. Picked up in a rather sorry state in my opinion, the car hadn't really been cared for



That actually makes the paint look pretty compared to how it looked in real life!

So a full days cleaning later and...



A shiny s2000!

Next came some suspension. Went for some bc racing coilovers



Hopefully by the end of the week my wheels should be done and ready to go on at the weekend. Sorry for the bad pics I'll get some decent ones soon!

Thanks for reading!

Hi there - I also picked up my s2k a short while ago. It was in a bad way paintwise too so I gave it a hard cleaning regime and it's looking shiny too!

Good work there, looks lovely in black

It was a combination of menzera and 3m, eith every grade of pad we could get our hands on, there was a lot of cutting done, ts still not finished to a level im happy but one full day got it a lot better

Wheel choice is Advan sa3r version 1's, just waiting them coming back from being refurbed
