It looks stunning in the flesh, especially when the sun is on it - it's the only 'white' i'd want.

That said, the quality of the 08/09 leather is abysmal, no other word for it. It's soft, thin and not durable. If you want to keep your seats looking like new, you're going to need covers or a set of earlier model seats.

I have the drivers seat cover replaced by Honda.

Other than that no death rattle..... and very

Pearlescent White looks superb (almost plumped for one myself but went for Moonrock as I thought that colour would have more longevity) especially if you paint the wheels in graphite grey with a bit of subtle bodywork detailing in matt black here and there.

Good luck with the car fella

I saw that car (nice motor) when passing 2 weeks ago and popped in to have a look - there were 3 x S2000's in stock, no less !
That would be about the time I looked, think they also had a boxster too.

When I was at Pheonix, there was a light blue S2000 (53 plate I think), Mat's Pearl White 08 and a GT100 09.
All very nice.

I absolutely love this car. Took off the hardtop and drove up to Aviemore and across to Aberdeen this weekend - it was fantastic. Heart was pounding when I arrived!

Had the back end out a few times at roundabouts so we're definitely getting to know each other!

Few things planned...
-Some sort of air filter - recommendations?
-Ricks Titanium gear knob
-Fit my old Alpine head unit and small sub in the boot

Pics below...
