Honda S2000... y0

People hate Rotas because they're fakes though?

Not because of the way they look.

I know that, but do you not think its a slightly daft view to take. They look the same. Only the owner of the wheels knows the difference, & yet is £1500 poorer. Clearly this isnt a car designed to go quickly round corners, so he wont be after the weight saving of going genuine ;)

Just makes me giggle inside thats all.

Emperors new clothes, etc.
 
In the end I bottled the idea of a bright colour and went for matte bronze. Left the painter with pictures of what I was after, but to be honest I don't think I really like the colour. Too dark and more brown than bronze - not what I had in my head really. I'll give it a few weeks to see if I come round to them but can see me having them painted again.

I want to buy some Rotas, and put Genuine Rays Centre Caps and Stickers on them and watch CS' head explode :D

Looks smart... I'd like to see either the front down a bit or the rear up a bit though. Looks a little arse down?

That looks stupendous. Truly. Wheels, colour, stance just perfect. Roof down for the pics help though! ;)

Need more!
 
Thanks for the nice comments chaps, appreciate it. I wish I liked the colour as much as you lot seem to, still not sold. They look like chocolate. I'll get some more photo's when the weather clears up, I've done a few more little bits and bobs too.

You're spot on mate, been meaning to get round to raising the rear about 5mm for about a week now. I'd have preferred to just lower the front slightly but I'm already scrubbing on the speed bumps at work so the rear needs to come up instead.

Noted! :)

I've had it around 8 months and can count on one hand how many times the roof has been down haha. The fact it's a convertible is my only gripe with it.

People say theyre bad but from my experience not as bad as I thought. For me at 28 they cost the same to insure as a 330d!

It is actually spoke about already if people go back a couple of pages... But anyway - before i ended up with the 330ci i was getting quotes of around £1500 for an s2k iirc (25, 8 years ncb, clean licence). Which imo is f**king ridiculous! I pay half that for the Beemer and i'm being ripped off at that, it's only because i just opted to switch car's on my policy til it's due, then i'll shop around properly.

I do like the s2k's, a lot... But the insurance is madness, i'd have one on the drive by now otherwise.

Just checked... 4 years NCB 22 years old £1700, not as bad as I thought to be honest, however more than double what I pay on the 320D!
