I bought the other yellow one yesterday at Westgate Honda in Grimsby! Over the moon with it, pick it up on wednesday when its taxed/MOT'd/serviced all ready for me photos to follow of course. I was another lurking yellow S2k seeker in last few months

Also interested to know if Chet secured the other one?

2003 with 37k miles on clock, absolutely immaculate, definately been a garage queen! Unfortunately thats about to change for it!

Been lurking on here for about 4 months or so and am very to happy to now own an S2k. Bring on the summer. Also look forward to meeting a lot of you guys in Essex / London area on meets.

Craig.

Hi guys,

Sorry, I've only just seen this thread!

As you know Craig, I turned that one down due to the warped hard top. I tried to find services that could rectify a warped HT but had no luck, thus ruled out the purchase.

...yes!

Here are the few annoyances on the aesthetics front:










Other than that, it looks fantastic:





Can't wait to go and pick it up!

If they can't sort out the seat for you then try a breakers. As you say there are lots getting bounced of things at the moment so good seats or just the covers can be found.

Centre caps corrode, I'm waiting for the dealer to get me four new ones at the moment.

If the bumper mark can't be polished out then you can respray the bumper or just buy an oem front lip which would come painted and would cover that up.

Thanks Matt, its not quite mine yet though so please keep it hush hush over on the 'other' forum

Ninebolts, the centre caps [wonder why only one corrodes?] or bumper do not bother me as much as the bolster, it's bugging me already - I expected leather cracks but not what we see in the image I posted above! Is it a common issue? Are there any fixes for it bar a new seat from breakers?! touchup/patching//re-trim?

Cheers Matt. The white beast left my ownership late last night...

I'm pretty much crapping driving the S2000 home because of the weather, the cold snap isn't going to clear up soonish and seeing as I've been used to FWD for years, I need to take extra care.
