M£ running costs put me off, and you'll find a much nicer s2000 for the same money.

Insurance wasn't too bad for me. 23 fully comp with mods £900

Where did you get the paint from?

Think the finish will be noticeable with it being black?

ordered ds2500s front and rear, some new disks and new tyres on route...

in the meantime binned off the red rocker cover



Used heat crinkle black, pleased with how it looks. Will be doing the inlet manifold next.

What brand of paint did you use for the rocker cover? Looks fantastic.

As above Adam

Tidied a load of dirty rusty bracket up in the bay. Chopped the heatshield for the engine torque damper too as the hole i cut looked crap.
