  4. Hi Dave the 50 profile looks just perfect i dont want to lower the suspensivo cause its top expensive and i would be scraping all the time so now that i have seen how it looks with the 16 inch and the 50 profile i know what i have to look for, thanks Dave. I read on the post about interchangable parts that the ET can be up to 45, the ET os the with of the mounting where the rim meets the hub, right? If its for instance 40 works the same as a 45 bit the wheel protude more from the body of the car? Thanks and be safe

Had fitted a Vti front spoiler, painted the side skirts colour coded, painted the índice of the headlights black, the grill black and the symbol is wraped in carbon fiber, and i have some more projects in the making. cheers
  8. hi there nice seats, i also have that metal door sills i found incredibly lucky in Portugal, although the driver side one was a bit busted but all inall are acceptable and man they look nice. Good ingenuity adapting the armrest, that is a proper armrest not just a storage space like the oem one, neat. is this from any accord of wich years? cheers
  9. hi Gamrid , glued like in permanently or some type of double tape? i wanted to be able to take em out later if i need to.
  10. hi kink, i tried to take the trims of the door card but the metal clips that hold them in place are very hard to take out (at least for me) i breaked one trying and though it may need a special tool or something i couldn't figure myself, if you have any advice on how to i appreciate it mate. and sorry to revive this somewhat dead post hehe

  15. Hi i did manage to get one example from my own car cause the splash guard uses the same clips and looks exatly like the ones you Said, 'spire clips". I took pictures of the clips and the bumper holes, where these clips Will attach to, maybe it will help someone else. Gonna try to find them locally in an hardware store if not maybe i have to go with NUTS and bolts with some washers but i sure prefer the clips if i can find them. Thanks
  16. I need for the front bumper lip, not for side, maybe i didn´t make it clear. Thanks
  17. So these from ebay are for side and front skirts?Or for side skirts only?
  18. are the clips like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-Car-Moulding-Trim-Clips-Fasteners-Sill-Side-Skirt-For-Honda-Civic-CRV/183025874109?epid=22013386189&hash=item2a9d3134bd:g:cTcAAOSws6dcQnKb
  19. Hi folks i have bought rover 400 door cards because mine are sagging and the back one is damaged, i like the rover ones better, because they have the trim all around the interior, and i like the look of it, just might wrap the trim but not sure in what color/effect would suit best on the long run. Now i wanted opinions on what color/type of fabric will suit best for my door cards, later ill be doing the headliner too but for now its just the doors.pics would be awesome Also opinion in which wrap should be used for the trim, if anybody has some custom interior i would love to see pictures. Mb6 has carbon inserts, anyone can show me how it is the look? i wonder if it will make the car fill too dark inside with the carbon...i got this new projects but i really need second opinions cause they will be somewhat permanent changes. be safe, peace out

    Wanted!

    Hi there i believe the rose colour is from the other car, and it may be possible to remove it polishing, had the same but in the back and i was able to use elbow grease and removed it all, just the dent remained there. Its a bummer to arrive at your car and give him that look... then to realize it is "hurt"... is painful i feel for you mate.
  21. Dave yes it helped enlightenment wise thanks sorry for mention the somewhat liberty we now enjoy in Portugal forgetting completely the majority of people here are from Britain... my bad!but then you will be there soon! Never heard about that new fuel, i believe in Portugal we don't have it but i can be wrong, maybe its from the American market and has been imported?just a guess Just bought an si oem front splitter or skirt not sure wich is correct , just to find out it needs some kind of special clips or screws that i wasn't aware of and i dont even know what to look for cause i have no ideia how they are. Already tried to google and ebay it, but again i dont know what i really need so its a bummer to find hehe. Any help in enlighten me about those elusive clips is much appreciated. be safe, be gentle peace out
  22. Hi folks everyone deconfined and happier? I want to ask which type of gasoline was recommended by honda at the time the car was put together...i wonder if its 95 octane or 98... or doesnt hurt using any of these? Another thing, please tell me the weight of the aerodeck. thanks in advance. Peace out.
  23. Ok i get it, the most important thing in calculating a tyre pressure is the weight of the car not the wheels. thanks dr.broon
  24. Hi Craig that looks sick more like a race car... is not used has a daily driver i suppose... or is it? for sure extra points for originality
  25. i see your car is the same has mine just has the vti lip...my bad! Forgot to mention another thing i did, you can paint the grill any color, i painted mine black but used plasti dip in case i want to change the look back for stock.I didn't painted the symbol i like the chrome. what you mean the door is weak? you can change the pin and busings of the hinge i will do that somewhere in the future cause my drivers door is sagging just a bit and i already diagnose a bad bottom bushing. peace out
