I have to say, is it me or is the leather on the new cars of better quality.
The moonrock isn't that great in the flesh, looks dull.
To give you my tuppence, the S2000 book by D. Canrey, states that 'the S2000 is best in Red or Silverstone as it shows off the lines of the car to their full splender'
Go Silver and get the two tone interior......

I would be concerned about red/1/2 red fading, as I tend to have the roof down an awful lot. That's why I went Black/black.
Black is easily the most stunning colour, but only if you wash it constantly.
Same with Red, really. The Zaino boys' cars look fine, but it looks very dull if neglected.
Imola orange does look good. It would be my second choice.
Moonrock is an interesting low maintenance choice! Personally, I believe it's a bit too grey for a sports car, but they still look good in it.

I'm too undecided what my new colour will be when i get round to it
Silverstone/MR/Black
Definately half red though - although i would prefer full red seats rather than the 2 tone ones.

Royal Navy Blue Pearl is the really smart colour when it's polished.
It is also reputed to be the fastest colour, although no one has yet managed to catch me up to let me know!

Red is becoming all too common - but will still be the colour of my next S. Black is very nice when clean, but far too much work. Any variation of grey is VERY common - go for a traditional sportscar colour

Unless things have changed for the 04 then that oil is not ok.
One should use a mineral oil 10-40 or 10-30, cant remember anymore.
A suitable substitue can be bought from hellfords in the orange bottle or from a ford dealer.
Hope that helps.
