You clearly tried your best as well Mark to get the Bronze colour. TBH, I also think your wheels are going to look a bit more "in your face" and perhaps overkill, even if Steven's bronze colour could be matched, simply because the wheels are bigger and this is emphasised due to the spoke design. It really makes your car look jacked up IMO. Maybe as a 17" wheel owner, I've become indoctrinated with the belif that 17s are better, but I really think 18s look too big for the slender shape of the S2000.

Do I make sense?

I thought not.

Go gun metal again. That orange just isn`t good for the S image.

I`m sure we can organise a whip round to preserve mutal respect from the public for our car marque in general.

Although while we are on this, what the hell is going on, on the back of your S Steve? Can we have more pics?

It looks like your missus forgot to put the ironing board away.

Don't be hard on Steven, he did the kind husband thing and let his wife drive the car, and she promptly lost control in the local retail park and span through the Ripspeed section of their local Hellfords.

Its taken him three days just to remove the spinners from his rims.

I think your wheel fitter went a bit overboard on the copper grease

You can take the boy out of the scooby but you can't take the scooby out of the boy
