Matt black for the RPF1s for me dude

 

[Damage_Inc]

The RPF1s look mean as **** in matte black but I think alot of the detail is lost in black wheels

Totally agree with you bud. That's why I'm now thinking SBC finish. Bit different and depending on light can look darker.

Couple of pics I found on my phone. Also got myself new plates made up. Will be getting the bumper smoothed, full respray and wheels within next few months all being well.

Need to decide whether to keep it moonrock or change the colour?

Awesome work so far! Carbon hard top

As for the colour, I like it. I really love grey cars. In my experience it seems that metallic is more expensive to spray than a gloss colour because there is a lot more prep involved. That's only if you find someone who will paint in 2pac, the cost of the respray will be cheaper. That is something to consider.

I think s2000's look amazing in black (Carbon & black ), but if cleaning the car every 5 minutes isn't your thing & price isn't a issue, or you just really love metallic paint, grey is perfect. You could even look through some paint sample books & maybe find a grey you prefer more? Met a fella recently who had a import s2000 resprayed in Ferrari grey, looked outstanding!

All the best with it though, looking forward to seeing how she goes!

Thanks man. Will take the advice on board. Have to get saving again then see what happens closer to the time.

To do list is growing. Not getting any smaller

Few more to show the slight concaved face as opposed to the convex face of the 8j wheels.

Great wheels, very little betters them. Curious to know the weight saving over OEMs

You know what oem weigh Sam? These are a little over 7kg for 17x9

 

[S2000-sam]

NB don't be going for a lip on your splitter at your height. Mines on OEM height and I got a rabbit last nite and spoiled the look of it!!!!

Damn sorry to hear that. Not good!! Still feel I need the front lip, side splitters,rear diffuser 'and wing to finish the appearance. Will be a while yet before they are done.
Decat and remap likely be next on the cards. May get a js racing header before the map. Not sure. Bit broke ATM and need to save.

 

[Lappintyre]

Nice carpet.....bet they'd look well on the car too

 

[Tim Long]

Rubber sorted and booked in for a full respray in 2 weeks time can't wait!! Hardtop will also be fitted to.

Something tells me those valve caps won't last long :-/

And one of the shine
