Thread: S2 ... 2009 facelift

  1. #1

    Wink S2 ... 2009 facelift

    As some of you will have seen from the Japfest photo thread, S2 has had a facelift for 2009. I have also now fitted the Enkei's that were subject to all the shipping delays earlier in the year. These are 17/18 and I've chosen the new Hankook Evo12 tyres

    The wrap was done by these guys www.raccoon.co.uk who were very professional. I popped back to see them in the week to refinish a couple of areas and this was no problem for them. If you want further info please speak to Beth. Whilst there they had just completed a Matt Black Keonig and were half way through a Pearl wrap on a Maybach!

    I have been contemplating having the front of the NSX repainted to loose 10 yrs worth of stone chips. However, doing this will loose the originality of the car. So for me, the wrap does two things. It prevents further chips and gives me a new look for as long as I decide to keep it. The material is guaranteed for 3yrs and is treated like normal paint for washing and waxing.

    Here a few photo's of my finished car with which I'm very pleased.

    See you around soon

    regards, Paul

    That's a pretty impressive process, does it feel and look like a painted vehicle or more along the lines of the clear film stone chip protection?
    Never odd or even

    The wheels certainly finish the transformation. Well done Paul.

    Your car looks fantastic Paul - I cant wait to see it in the 'flesh'.

    I presume you had to notify your insurance co. re. change of colour.

    So......how would an NSX look in matt black????

    Paul,

    Like I said at the Bracknell fest, you car really works fo me! you then go and knock my socks off at Japfest!! Awsome job.....I Like a lot, and the fact it can go back to it's original flavour if and when required makes it a very viable option

    Cheers

    Nicely done Paul. I think I prefer S2 as it was but as you say you can always go back

    A few people have lusted after Lime Green Metallic, this is your chance to try it for size... if you're brave enough

    Cheers
