The front and rear bumpers will be going in for a fresh coat before summer as they have a few scrapes (nothing major just anoying) and also the front is getting smoothed for my square plate.
So if i have the money it will get fully colour coded pal and if not im not fussed. Im trying to spend minimal amount so i can get a vti next year or mabey go coupe im not sure yet though hah see when the time comes ;)

As for the rear number plate recess. I have no idea pal. If its any use the car is a W regi and is a 1.4 sport

Dont know much about the euro and jap specs pal haha all new to me

By the way what model of Civic did this kind of number plate recess come on? Is it a UK-spec or Euro-spec? Where do you screw the plate on? I've only ever seen ones with two grooves on the bottom that hold the bottom of the plate in place:

Recess's with lugs on the bottom are From an EK9
The silver one in the pic is from all other 96-00 civic hatchbacks.

Yeahp hah
I did post a pic and at the start of the thread it does say ebay special parts will be used to save money as its a 1.4 so would rather save up and buy a real civic next year :D

Dont know why people slate ebay parts anyway tbh. Exhaust sounds mint and cant complain with the comfort with the above springs. Handles well , looks the same as if you done with a branded name but for quarter of the price! For a wee first civic that'll do me lol
 
Upgraded l.e.d sidlights. Was in the middle of climbing down a monster speed bump! Light worked well for bulb pic!
