Thanks guys,

Decals were all made by myself (I have a vinyl cutter), including the sticker number plate which has carbon lettering.

Here is under the bonnet and in the boot, these are still work in progress.... no where near clean and tidy enough but I have a family and enjoy driving it too much to finish them! These WILL get done over the summer I hope...

Did this originally come from belfast? The reg was KKZ ***?

If it's the same car then it's looking awesome, was the first s2000 locally to run any kind of offset from memory.

Yeah it's the same car. Good to see it's still alive and being cared for some nice parts on it!

Really like this, that front end is perfect and I have a feeling mine will end up looking pretty similar now!

Interesting how well the grey wheels and strakes work with the red paint, I'd written that off as an option but now I can't decide, it's between safe silver, a dark bronze or the light grey

Side strakes are carbon wrapped, and look 100 times better than they did in red in my opinion anyway.
Wheels I had refurbed in anthracite but with a satin laquer so they are not 'shiney' Again, when the wheels were off, I painted the discs centres and the hub centres satin black as I have no centre caps, just finished them off so they look 'new'

Am looking to carbon wrap the mirrrors next just to finish off the theme

How much did your nitrous set up cost? I've got a bottle like that sat in the garage. I really want to get it done some day.

Car looks mint, I've just been out polishing mine, same colour, looks no where near as good, thanks for that
