Another quick update! Went a bit mad yesterday and ordered a load of stuff for the civic, as some of you know, i have been trying for ages to find a second hand front bumper for mine, doesnt matter how hard i try i kept getting messed about by people breaking them. To be honest, I was starting to doubt my commitment to the car, as I knew i was never gonna be happy till it was sorted. So... I ordered:

(All brand new!! :o )

1. Front bumper.

2. Support beam. (goes behind the front bumper!)

3. Normal VTI front lip.

4. 2 x fog light brackets.

5. 2 x front fogs.

6. 2 x headlamp washer jets.

7. Chrome surround for grill.

8. All the clips, screws, fixings, bolts etc etc for the beam, bumper and fogs.

My bank balance is gonna take a serious hammering, but it had to be done, i was never gonna be happy till i did!!

Bumper arrived today, but only 1 headlamp washer and 1 foglight bracket, so I built up one side. Drilling the holes for the headlamp washer was a bit scary, but good old Honda mark the inside of the bumper so it wasnt that bad!! Also took the lip to a bodyshop near me today to get it sprayed, he is gonna charge me £95 which i thought was pretty good, i have seen some of his work on his website and now in the flesh, it looks stunning so im hoping for a good result! Wont be ready for the border run though :cry: , but the new bumper should be, as long as i get time this week to fit it!! ;)

Fitted the chrome surround though, looks much better as the old one was broken, i think the bonnet was slighty bent in the accident as it doesnt fit perfect, but its good enough!

Sorry i dont take more pics, but my hands are always dirty, i know i keep saying it but i promise to get some more pics up when its sorted, to show you my latest progress and also the VTI-S wheels etc!! 8-) (I might get it to look like it does in my sig one day!!)

As promised, heres a few pics of the civic now, with the VTI-S wheels on. I havent done the bumper yet, if you wanna see that you will have to wait.....or have a look yourself at the border run next weekend! :twisted: I havent bothered to polish the front bumper by the way, as it getting replaced! Thats why the black bits look rubbish in the pics!!
