They're ebay ones 45mm over fenders £70 i payed for all 4. Rear doors worked fine.
-
Yes i'm afraid the MB is no more, it come to the point where it was rusting out too much im afraid. hence why i didn't worry about cutting the arches out for over fenders. but just wanted to prove to people that any car has potential and can be made different yet still be cool. the car had a fairly big fan base surprisingly. we had fun. but RUST got the better of it.
-
Thankyou mate, it's certainly different. doubt i'll see another one like it
-
Haven't been on here in a while, so thought i'd do a little update. Ronda only gets used at weekends now so stuffs getting real. Wanted to wider wheels, and wider track. so bought myself some 16 x 8 ET0 wheels, wrapped them in some 194/45 - 215/45 then needed to widen the car somewhat so i cut the rust out of the arches and bolted on some fenders
-
that's not bad, i'm hoping to hit 200hp mark so should be interesting. thanks mate. i'm waiting until i think a decent set again now, but might teg swap it to 5 x 114.3
-
Update! bought myself a GSR head, with Double valve springs, new stem seals, valves reseated oh and ITR cams i will get 200hp out of this thing.

Ronda's visited NHR in Taunton, Somerset. again had a centre silencer added. it's now sitting at 95dlbs so still pretty close to most track limits, im hoping a new manifold will bring it down a tad more due it being cracked slightly so much nicer to drive now being quiet , no more droning at low rpm and can sit at 80 having a conversation haha my old HT leads were due a change , as i noticed they was on the car back when civic5 started also one kept popping off the dizzy cap :/ causing odd misfire at bad times. Lovely new NGK ones
-
Thankyou mate. yeah the tyre lettering i've done on a few of my cars in the past only when i've got decent tyres though lol. i was thinking of changing them but now ive done the tyres i like them again haha need spacing a little bit on the rear though i think.
-
haven't posted in a while, so thought i'd do a little update gave the car some loving this week during my week off new ball joint, and a full service! whilst doing the service i noticed my old plugs where fairly white, like its running lean, but it smells like its over fueling if anything... anyone had this ? also played about with the height abit more, as still isn't sat right. and bought some tyre pens so put them to use
-
Thanks man, yeah i did prefer the white, but i think i'm going to sell the wheels soon anyway as have my eye on another set haha. yeah i wasn't to keen on the ATR spoiler at first but it's grown on me alot.
-
thanks... haha not mine

found a few pics of my car at Japfest 2015 Today i thought i'd make the most of it being dry, and stripped the back end down to clean everything up. undersealed underneath cleaned up my Lca's , Beaks bar and BC's. looks loads better removed my ARB for the time being as bushes was worn out and squeaking
-
cheers lads, i had a set in my old EG but didn't get on with them being 5 door seats in a 3 door, but in the Ronda their awesome! so comfy and looks loads better than standard seats. still trying to source a passenger rail.
-
thanks they'll do whilst she's still being used daily then she will be full stripped and caged up thankyou my friend
-
got the Ronda some nice seats seen as was getting bored of the standard mb6 seats. was hoping i could use the original ATR rails, but they sat way to high for me. had 1 EG low rail in the garage so modified that to fit so much better just need a passenger one now. don't know if any companies make rails for mb6's?
