This car was a little special.

Carbon Gruppe M intake, HKS Legamax catback with the laser-cut exhaust surrounds, Mugen throttle body, TODA manifold, Mugen sport suspension, Spoon calipers, Toda Balancer Shaft Delete Kit, 25mm H&R hubcentric spacers, a Polybush kit, a Spoon Rigid Collar set, Wavetrac LSD . . . . I forgot the rest :))

So, a dilution of some G101 to strip it all back and a good power hose.

Cracking car this one, it will be even better when it returns later this year for full paint correction.
 
Very nice! Whats with the wheels? Winter wheels i take it? Look weird on a fn2!
 
nice work, however i dont see the point in that brush?

seems a bit **** to me, a simple rag and G101 works fine in the boot recess, door frames etc lol

EDIT why is An.al a censored word i thought we got rid of that nonsense??
 
Nice work Paul.

Looks very similar to mine with the winter wheels. Makes me wanna get some spoon callipers on!

It may be a door shut but when it's a customers car I need to take care not to scratch the paint.

Honda paint is so soft that even micro-fibre cloths can cause marring.
