Well thought I would start a fresh thread for the civic now .
So . .. .. .
There have been a few things happen to the car recently.
Firstly
The civic went for its mot and unfortunatly failed needing only a few things
* Track-rod end
* Steering Rack Gaiter
* Rear Fog Light
* Handbrake adjustment
* Emissions
So I got all this sorted ready for its second MOT which it just scrapped through as emissions were still high despite changing the exhaust system from Cat back . Eventually the emissions dropped low enough and I left the Mot centre with a green sheet of mot paper
I changed my exhaust system cat back, for a smaller tidier looking one that I purchased from Ebay for the some of £36.00 (onto a winner and was only in tiverton).
Original
*This one is now available if anyone wants the exhaust system ! pm me.
My new exhaust (quite a bit quiter and looks better in my opinion)
Then
Me and a mate were chatting a few weeks back and came up with the idea of swapping our headlights over , i wanted something a tad different and my mate wanted more subtle (depite having a candy green car )
So I headed off to see Vince one evening and came home with some twin angel eyes with smoked lenses
Finally
A mate of mine has just got a clio 172 with wheels that i really liked purely cos of the way the spokes are twisted and also never seen them before in my life .
Found out they are KSPEED alloys
Anyway they were black when we swapped over but didnt feel it suited the car black .
Soo I was going to paint the wheels red with a White lip, but I done a few Vmods and they looked terrible !
Well I thought yeah why not can always change them if dont like them but now they are done I love them
Before !
After !
I personally love the way the civic looks now , I no it may not be to everyones cuppa tea but its my car and not yours
BTW if any of the above pics (from the after section) could be done better let me know as just got a digi cam and still learning on it.
