Badges are already removed, that's just the remainder of the glue. (I need to work out the best way to reattach them)

Indicators, aerial and handles will get stripped by them. This was a quick buzz over to check the condition of the paint. Seems some parts have been painted in the past. Badly.

Entire bonnet will be back to metal due to poor paint in the past, looks like it's had a blow over while in Japan.

With regard to reattaching the front wing badges, I found that careful use of double sided 3m tape and careful use of a scalpel (to cut around each character) achieved good and lasting results. HTH

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case.

In other news, the rear quarter has come off!

Lots of work, looks great though! And hopefully not as much Tim worm as the bus next to it!
What wheels are they? I presume a later 17", but what version?
Thanks!

Nottm_S2

They are JDM 16s, forged and even lighter than stock and a lot lighter than 17s iirc

back this weekend? Does your dude work 24hrs a day

He's certainly cracking on! Been told it should be in primer now, so hoping painted Mon/Tues.

There are quite precise measurements for the side emblems when you re-attach them - this should come in handy https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-ta...5/#post2218852
