UK & Ireland S2000 CommunityDiscussions related to the S2000, its ownership and enthusiasm for it in the UK and Ireland. Including FAQs, and technical questions.
I’m looking to have some work done on overhauling my 2005 S2000 with 55k miles, after buying it back from the owner I sold it to 10 years ago. Whilst the car works perfectly, the likely works include:
Full respray in same colour of visible areas as lacquer coming off in multiple places. Only sign of rust is one place on edge of bonnet.
Alloys to be refurbed.
Drivers seat bolster needs the padding to be replaced.
Respray or replacement of engine cover.
Replacement of any hoses showing signs of wear.
Check out the wheel arches
Seal the underside
Potentially new brake discs
Any suggestions please on who you would recommend I consider for the works?
I’d be bringing the car from Guernsey to the UK, so not too concerned regarding location as I’d enjoy a drive!
I'm assuming it's had paint before? My 2001 has had an issue on the boot which was fixed back god knows how long ago (like 8-10 years I guess?) and it's reared its ugly head again since it's been outside over winter (almost a month now, boils my pee).
I am getting it painted in a few weeks, boot lid, small repair to bumper, blending into panels as it's Silverstone and tough to match..
The gap between super premium and excellent is broad so it depends what you want to pay but clearly I am paying again due to sub standard work. The boot and bonnet are ally I believe and this can present issues
you might be better asking on FB
Paintology in Nottm are very good but don't do much retail work anymore
