Nice. As above, like the black S2000 badges. They set the wheels off nicely. Where from?
The black S2000 badges are actually genuine Honda ones. You can get them from the dealer. I'll try and find the part number.
I actually managed to get them from ebay US here:

The S badges on the front and rear and the wheels were actually custom made for me by a UK company - it was much cheaper and better then buying Rick's Badges with the current exchange rate. I sent them my original Honda badges as a template and then they did the rest.
I really like the S badges, but know that some would prefer the Honda ones; everyone is welcome to an opinion

What paint did you use on your calipers? Thinking of doing mine soon.
Black wheels don't look too bad, not a fan of those particular badges though. A Type R badge would look better in my opinion.
Nice and clean though!

Its the same thing I do on all my cars. The Primer really isn't necessary but I find I get a better finish when its used.
The s2000 stickers were then applied and finally I lacquered the callipers

Looks excellent - tasteful mods.
I always wanted that spoiler on mine but never managed to get one.
I had the Rick's badges on mine too - gave the car an element of mystery to the common man on the street.
Nicely done !

I cleaned the calipers and primed them first with some anti-rust primer from Halfords and them just sprayed with Hammerite Smooth Red.
Its the same thing I do on all my cars. The Primer really isn't necessary but I find I get a better finish when its used.
The s2000 stickers were then applied and finally I lacquered the callipers

It looks like a good finish.
