Hey Ash,
Looking good
My brother wrote his S2000 off in the snow over Christmas, not too sure whats happening with it at the moment (insurance companies

) It was a Jap mag feature car, sporting a supercharged engine giving 300+ I'll drop him a line if you still want to go the S2000 route.
As for wing protection, either ally or thin stainless. Or you could try helicoptor tape.
It's a shame you're on the the other side of the world

I could have stopped you being bored
Kind regards
John
