How can you tell for sure if an S2000 is the facelift model? I know they have Oval exhaust pipes but these could have been retro fitted as could the wheels. Please advise before I buy.

Thanks

The one main facelift was in 2004 and the model has a slightly different interior but the exhaust ends, wheels and front bumper are the main noticeable bits. You may get some 53 plate facelift models but in the main it was 2004 onwards. I am assuming of course you meant the main facelift as opposed to when they put in a glass rear screen or the recent 2006 change which still IMO looks roughly the same!

Mines a facelift on a 53.

I'm no expert but I reckon the wheels, the glass rear screen, the oval tail pipes, the "afterburner" sty;e rear lights, revised suspension. I think there are some changes in the interior too, but I'm not sure what.

Did the prefacelift come with the HID headlamps?

Interior is mainly the centre arm rest changed style. From a rounded shape to square IIRC.

All s2k's are HID.

It will all be listed either way on the S2000 FAQ on :
