You considered Nurburgring Blue? seriously, suits the S2000 perfectly, and allows you to have a unique interior, dash, and hood colour to match.

I looked at a normal blue, and a silver, but neither blew me away, then saw a nurb blue, and bought it same day!! (okay, so the test drive had a little to do with that)

The Moonrock is nice though, looks very modern, but havent seen one in the flesh yet.

I would like to see S2Ks in a pallette closer to TVR's. Reflex, for example


IMO, the S2K panels may be a little too flat for it to work. Either that, or it would really enhance the subtle lines.

Anyone seen one like that?

Hmmmm......

Interesting thread, especially as I have my nice shinny, just a week old, Moonrock / Full red sat outside the house.

Personally I think it the mutt

I was looking to buy a new S2000 and nearly went for the Silverstone, till I saw the Moonrock in a Honda showroom, got the feeling straightaway that I had found the right colour.

It just looked fast, classy and very cool. I agree that it may look plain when dirty, but who wants to drive a dirty car in any colour

Hope I still feel the same when I pick the car up in 2 weeks

I too was seriously thinking of going for the Moonrock and was dying to see one close up. I was delighted when I picked up the demo car for 6 days - Moonrock!

Nice and shiny, it looked great. But, even a little dusty, it looked flat and just "plain". And the weather was kind too, I'm talking about regular old road grime. I washed it twice in the 6 days I had it, just to keep it looking nice.

I ordered a Silverstone (only 9 weeks to go now!)

Damned right! It'll actually be a 2-year wait. I wanted one 2 years ago at my last company car change but we'd just bought a pony for the daughter and "had" to get some kind of SUV to cope with fields and dirt tracks etc, so I went for a CRV on the very strict understanding that I'd get the S2000 this time around. The CRV's actually been a terrific car and and I get to buy that for a song in 9 weeks time too.

My Berlina (the fastest colour ) looks crap when it's anything but spotless, but is by far the est colour when clean.
