Default Tom's PPW S2000

Just thought I'd make a quick little thread about my car as I've had a few bits done lately and hoping to keep a little more progress coming in the near future.

Recently had the front bumper sprayed and fixed as I all but ruined it getting into a mate's garage and had my wheels refurbished as they weren't in the best of condition.

How she stands atm:




I painted the brake calipers to clean them up as I was getting my wheels done too:



I don't have any close up pics of the calipers after painting but you can sort of make them out in the side profile pic.
The garage I had my wheels done at sent me this pic when they were done:



This picture really didn't do the wheels justice! They looked a standard colour and I wasn't too sure about them because I chose Honda's own Moon Rock and was hoping for a darker finish, I then seen them in person...



Hopefully that picture does the wheels justice but they look fantastic in person! I then wrapped them all up in brand new Toyo T1S tyres.

I also decided to give her a massive clean out and break out a vax machine to clean up the carpets as they were well overdue a clean!



I then gave her a well overdue clean plus I had a college open day the following day which I was showing my car at:



A couple pics at the open day next to a close mate's EP3 which was fresh out the body shop:



Another mate's s2000 in the bg too




After that a few of us got together and went for a little camera session whilst we had the sunlight!







That's about it for now I'm hoping to have an exhaust made up soon, just waiting on a quote from the guy I recently went to visit. I have some wheel nuts to finish the wheels off but need washers from Tegiwa to make them fit. Then wanting to get a little done to the engine and possibly a roll bar (but that's a maybe). Other plans are very distant!

I'll update when the exhaust gets done!

Thanks for reading.

Looks great, they do look good in white, though TBH the front splitter looks a bit too 'stuck' on but least its different and its not terrible dont get me wrong.

Car looks lovely, front splitter is a bit marmite, agree with s2konroids.
