Honda S2000... y0

[Fagan]

Got my front bumper back, resprayed and OEM lip fitted. Took a punt on some fog lights I seen for sale too, fit into the fake grill recess perfectly so look relatively OEM, then I got excited with yellow film. I also added some JDM red "H" badges front and rear and a slanted number plate bracket.

Also fitted the nardi, love it! Feels and looks amazing, I'm slightly worried how long the alcantara will last but I couldn't resist it over the leather.

Unfortunately less than 200 miles after the front bumper being painted it was covered in stone chips. I took it back to the bodyshop who agreed to re-paint it and that's being done just now.

I also paid a visit to the local car auctions and bought this so I no longer have to daily the Honda.

2.3l V5, half leather, cruise, climate, heated seats, 6 disc changer, leccy windows, sunroof, heated mirrors etc etc all for the grand total of £400, chuffed to bits!

Red Badge is awesome!

Dont like the Nardi, and not sure on the Folding number plate, but it looks amazing now!

 

[Eddie.]

I'm sorry, that Passat was £400???

 

[LIL B]

Numberplate and fogs look tacky.

 

[Philip.]

Bumper is awesome, wheel looks purposeful too!

Lol at the bargain barge, amazing.

 

[Rob]

Wow, on both the car and the Passat. What's the deal with the number plate? Folding? Am I not JDM enough for all this chat?

 

[AK]

Folding?! It's just angled a bit isn't it?

400 for the Passat!! That is a great buy. Lovely S2K BTW.

 

[Kieran..]

Not sure on the fogs bits stance is awesome!

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

love this other than the gash yellow fogs.

onto autotrader and admiral as we speak

 

[_Tom]

Fogs look shocking imo..

 

[200 Alex]

Fogs look shocking imo..

I'd second that.

Get rid of those, get a single exit HKS exhaust and it's perfect.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Not keen on the fogs or the angled number plate thing - the chrome looks so wrong on a black bumper

Bargain passat - I have the same shape one in a 1.9TDi 4motion config and it cost me £3600 LOL!

 

[Oakley12]

Absolutely beautiful S2K!! So much want, but insurance would tear me a new a'hole! Just had a quote for 1300 on the clio, imagine what this would be haha.

 

[Fagan]

Not a bad result on the Passat eh?

Not sold on the yellow film on the fogs but the fogs themself I like, I've wired them to replace the sidelights for now.

Here's a photo I grabbed when I was removing the bumper again at the weekend

Also, I've since put the wheels back into the bodyshop to be resprayed. Couldn't sugar coat the fact I wasn't keen on the colour any longer. I've yet to finally decide on a new colour but prep has started.

 

[Dave..]

...and it was going so well :dapprove:

No one likes fog lights. Not one person in the history of ever, has looked at a car and thought "Damn those fog lights look good"

 

[dmallett]

This thread makes me want an s2000, some decent priced ones on eBay ha

Same!! Although I think my budget might be more Mx5 than s2k, that's not a bad thing though.

 

[Philip.]

I think the fogs may look better orange?

 

[CSMatt]

such an awesome car,,,i actually think the fogs look great but hey each to their own

 

[.LiamC.]

I really like the fogs, lovely car. Great with the Passat too!

 

[philmots]

I quite like the fogs.. I don't know if it's the way that pic has come out but they look more DRL than fog.

​

 

[.GAZ.]

Why would you buy a 2.3i V5 for a daily? LOL!!!

 

[dmallett]

at £1500 a year insurance i think id take the mx5 too lol

 

[Jason_E]

DAYUM THIS CAR GOOD

​

That's the idea bud, which is why I replaced the standard sidelights with them.

That's why it was £400! Cruise control on the way to work and back at 60mph and it returns 35mpg, can't complain.

 

[Djw Dave]

Maybe I'm getting old but after checking my ins on one it would be cheaper than the '72.

Thats unfair, I am a child though!

 

[Djw Dave]

Buy buy

Needzzz a loan loan loan

I know it was £415 or somthing daft like that.

 

[Fagan]

Front bumper should be ready tomorrow and wheels middle of next week. Got these through today.

 

[Fagan]

Decided to roll my front arches today as I'd only done the rears until now. Got sidetracked and ended up painted my calipers while I was in there so only managed one side today.

 

[Fagan]

Sooo, got the bumper and wheels back today. I'm aware most of you will hate the wheels, that's fine, but I love them

 

[Wick]

Oh my.:hail:

 

[Turkish]

Threads like this make me want to spend money. I wouldn't have gone for bright yellow personally but the stance and car look great.

 

[rollerdan]

so much better !

 

[StephenJ]

Not a fan of the wheels

 

[200 Alex]

Epic.

 

[Philip.]

I think they look good!

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Looks stunning mate!!
