tbh i will gladly be up for that because alot of people in my area just chav civics up and dont understand how to go about them properly really rash owners they consider cutting springs and cutting the backbox off "mint" lol but some seriously good builds in northern ireland atm , whats your area like we have quite a decent scene up here in the north coast

Car looks great man, as mentioned in previous post i think white wheels would look awsome. Got any shots of under the bonnet or is it pretty standard under there?

So went to the bodyshop today and collected the car with the spoiler painted and fitted happy with the job flawless paint job to be honest , happy with it now all I need is a rear ek9 lip to complete it at the back , happy with it anyway wanted to get home and get it washed and get a few nice pics but it got too dark so only have a few here......

 

[davis94]

Havent updated in ages but their is now serious progress with the car so basically after the spoiler i gave it a basic service , then the car went through a bad patch i hit a badger lost my front lip damaged my front bumper and needed a new lip and bumper now as it wasnt lining properly , as well as this arches started to rust so a trip to the body shop was inevitable ,

(CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP)

Car looking sorry for itself below

NEW ARCHES BOUGHT

Finally a poor quality photo below of before it went to bodyshop with my brothers newly bought VSM tropica EJ9 (clean we car)

Update..........

So I got the car back from the body shop and cant think the lads at the shop enough for the work on the car has completely transformed the car and I cant wait to get moving on with it now , all the rust has been removed from the rear arches and quarter panels and the paint job is just fresh fresh ! really pleased with it , next is a new exhaust as I am ditching the cannon and a rear lip will let the pics do the talking

 

[Bushell]

Awesome mate, car looks great now, good find on the rear quarters as well, need to get one myself soon haha

 

[Turfy]

Oh wow!
Paint looks immaculate!
gorgeous colour!!

 

[Biscuit]

Now drench the internal sills and arches with b and h dynax s50

 

[davis94]

So next I have the car booked in for a custom exhaust hope everyone will like should sound and look awesome am ditching the cannon and bore exhaust and going for a proper raspy exhaust , what i am aiming for anyway so will update soon with that , Also looking for a set of wheels white preferably trying to stay away from rotas but will see how i get on

Awesome looking car. Some DC2 wheels would look amazing on that.

Interested on how much the paint set you back?
