Cheers mate. Got my mechanic to get it for me, think he ordered from a company in the mainland. Il ask him where he ordered it and get back to you :)
 
Did some more bits and bobs to the car and also gave the car another good clean again including the underneath of the car.

Took some photos with the new spoiler on.

Took the front bumper and the carbon lip out of their packaging to have a quick look at them together. Should look well when they are fitted hopefuy :)

Fitted my aerial delete. (thanks to eternal blue)
Didnt take the aerial out, just tucked it down in underneath the blank plate.

Tucked down in and put some sound deadening material around it so it wouldnt rattle :)

Also didnt realise but the car already had the rear ek9 lights but someone had taken the lower bulbs out, so put some bulbs in them and now i have the ek9 rear light look :)

I had already tried to fit my mugen wheels on before but couldnt because they didnt seem to fit on to the hub. Then tried to fit them today again and found that there was actually a spacer that was stopping them go on, so took it off and fitted them. They really need a refurb but just wanted to see them on the car as im trying to decide what colour to do them.

Thinking bronze or just their original black with red lip. Also want to paint the rear drums black as dont really fancy the red that much, should really just buy the rear brake conversion instead lol :)

Cheers
 
Nice work, car looks really good! got a real soft spot for EK3's after one was my first civic! Good luck with the B18 build, some savage parts there! :)
 
Looking good mate, nice work. Will be fantastic with the b18 added. :D
 
Cheers lads :) Yea cant wait to get the b18 in, the day i first get to drive it after the build and map, will be the best day of my life :)
 
Starting to come together really well should be a very nice car carbon on black EKs is stunning
 
Very nice mate! I have a black ek4 and wanted to put on a carbon bonnet as well, I think it look good on your car.
 
Cheers guys, i think carbon on black eks looks awesome so had to get some for mine :nice:

Still dont know what colour i want them haha
 
im not a fan of the mugen wheels i think they look cheap but i think they would look better in anthracite (gun metal grey)
 
Cheers guys. Yea Todd, they are a bit marmite i guess, just like any set of wheels really but i like them, and they are alot lighter than the wheels i had on before :) Youre right, the gunmetal would also be nice :nice:
 
Would have looked better in silver ;) haha joking mate starting to come together! Think the wheels would look better in another colour, not a fan of them in black.
