Default Lime Green? 04?

We spent some time at Honda UK this afternoon as guests of Craig Fulton (thanks Craig). We had a look at a Lime Green and an 04.

In case you have't seen a Lime Green S2000 before it is GREEN. No question. Did we like it? Well, yes we did. Will we be ordering one? We don't know yet. Jude likes it, I'm not quite so sure.

Apparently the Nurburg Blue is not available with a black interior any more (?) otherwise it would be first choice.

We looked at an 04 model as well. The new front looked fabulous. The whole nose cone has changed shape and looks the biz. Rear end is the same. Huge oval exhaust pipes and sculpted back. The light clusters also look very purposeful. The new wheels however get negative marks. They are a bit flat compared to the 02/03 and don't add to the shape of the car. They don't have the machined finish either, just matt cast alloy.

Will we be ordering an 04? Yes!

Will it be Lime Green? Hmmmm.....

yes but does the new exhaust sound like the HKS Mark already has or is it going to be possible to swop them over

I guess i'll just have to wait until the new one arrives
I'm not sure i can get used to a "quieter" car tho

I would imagine the new exhaust will sound exactly the same as the old stock system. There's no chance it will sound like a HKS!

Are you sure its a new exhaust system ?

On the US boards, someone said he has replaced the 01 exhaust tips with 04 exhaust tips.

AB...Group buy ??

The problem will be the way the HKS sits in the new rew bumper mouldings. I think you may find it looks a little odd.
