    that is how i read the post as well, however in my post i stated "i for one would be very keen in discussing your rear spoiler if you had thought of reverting the car to standard as much as possible prior to sale and offering your 'bling' parts separately."

    I guess this is where the confusion arose, this applies ONLY if Dave wishes to revert to standard prior to sale. I did not say it was going to happen or made an asumption that the car was being parted.

    Hope this clarifies any confusion from my post

    Either way would be a lovely car to own bling or no bling!

    Thanks for the nice comments Gents, I know alot of the NSX die hards always go for standard, but during my ownership I've had nothing but really positive feedback everywhere I've taken her.
    You are correct, it's wether to part company or not, if it is to go, it will be sold as she stands, I don't have the time these days to put it back, although I still have just about all of the original parts (unfortunately Nobby not the spoiler) if someone did want to go back to standard these will obviously up for grabs.
    Decisions decisions, I'll keep an eye on prices and revisit in August.

    I'm strictly a Kawasaki man Nobby, a Triumph is out of the question, although I think one of the bikes will be going aswell.
    Cheers

    Dave i think your car looks the business ... and in the best colour too!

    if i was in the market again i would defo consider this car

    unfortunate to hear about the spoiler

    there is no accounting for tastes in you motorbike collection but at least your car balances it out

    i had a kwak once (zx12r)... never again complete pain; spent more time in the garage getting fixed ... the triumph speed triple is an amazing engine

    Apologies! Getting rather too used to gaddam' mofo Merkinisms in the interweb these days.

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    Hi Dave,

    Do you need the cash? How would you invest the cash? Will it return you more than your NSX if it just sits there?

    If you'll use it once a year or more for a good run then it might be sensible just as an investment. Mine's hardly getting used but hard to let go on financial grounds alone.

    You could always put it up for silly money and not care if it doesn't go. I have 15k of bits on mine and would want 10k over standard asking price if I sold it, like you I wouldn't want to return to standard.

    This is more or less the situation, I don't need the cash, I have put a lot of money into it which I know I won't recoupe, but the main reasons to sell are, I think I'd probably use it even less if I did take it to Spain, as to be honest I do have my eye on something else, and the hassle of all the paperwork etc.
    The silly money option looks like the way to go, like you say it doesn't matter if it doesn't go, and I certainly would not be unhappy at that outcome.
    Cheers

    With the spyder in Spain it might be nice to have a toy ready over here for when you do come back, it would be a shame if some unscrupulous character de-blinged her!
