Thanks! It would but the problem is that behind the plate there are the OEM plate holder holes.. so I need to figure a way to cover them before a smaller plate can be installed.Congrats Grudas, you found a gem there and must be over the moon.
IMO your car would benefit for a smaller plate like on mine.
No of course not
but I'm going to put my personal plate on and it's 6chars so will be shorter anyway.£15k
Looking back at receipts.. in 2013 guy bought it for 9k with 21k miles from a Honda dealer! Should've bought one sooner!
Guess he also covered the cost of most of the mods in the £15k. I think it looks great and has a nice spec but £15k would have me looking at Pork (and that's coming from someone who does like Jap cars).
No the guy I bought it from had it since 2017 and paid 13k for it.
Basically I wanted a step up from my MX-5 so options were -;
350z - too fat/too gt
Z4m - didn't want another z4
Cayman - again bit too fat "wants to do it all" car just didn't feel right.
Gt86 - felt like it'll lack drama/excitement as standard
bbr NC - nc great, similar money and will depreciate
Nd - too slow as standard and will depreciate silly amount, plus for 15k I'd be looking at '15 2.0
So that basically left s2000 and that ticked all the boxes. I'm super happy with it and got a well sorted car with a box of standard parts.
Fair enough
if prices continue to grow in the same way it'll be worth £20k when you come to sell 
Fair enough
To be fair I will be happy if I lose no money over 2-3 years! Ownership with no depreciation would be great! Did that with my z4 coupe so hoping the same will happen with the s2000.
Surprised you didnt have an RX7 on your list if you wanted a step up from the MX5. For the same price:

Ooft! Yes, nice colour too eh @grudas
Passed a mint looking stock red one on the M25 earlier. Lovely.
S2000 with all the bits his has on it will be the better car though I imagine. If you don't factor in coolness/rarity/investment potential. Definitely better in terms of comforts, reliability, fuel economy.

I did! Was very close 2nd! S2000 won me over, wanted one for years so had to be done, it was now or never kinda thing. I'm hoping that I will be able to get a standardish rx7 in the future.

Haha yes! There's a red one driving around my area too, they look great!
S2000 will be a more reliable and better car for my use tho

The wheels are standard on the MY18 245 edition, which also came in a limited colour selection of white, black, red or grey. I definitely didn't want another black one and between the rest I wasn't really picky between them. I quite like the colour and the wheels to be honest but well aware neither are acceptable on here
Went back today :
Evoque HSE dynamic D180 with glass roof, great car and really rate them for doing everything well, despite thinking it was a soccer mum car. Now a proper SUV convert for day to day/ family stuff. Feels like a car to drive and not wallowy, up to 8/10th anyway. The 9sp ZF is nice too once you learn how to drive it (is a bit keen to go up the gears)
I’ve done 11,000 miles and it didn’t break down once.
