RS1T Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 I did neither unfortunately, however I did use clear lacquer afterwards on all of them. If worst comes to worst, I can just re do it, it's not much effort Anyway, here is the final result after several coats on each one:As you can see, I got a bit sidetracked as boredom kicked in after a few hours and decided to remove all five of the ugly and chipped badges from the back, and giving it a nice polish. Back end looks cleaner now. Then I also decided to colour code the numberplate recess, but forgot to take of the Honda Badge. So it was completely silver, but I decided to rub the paint off the H and the sides to make it look slightly better. Not too bothered as I've ordered red H badges from ebay anyway.Once all this was done I thought the back looked a bit empty, so I decided to add one of the badges back on, in a luxury car style positioning. Looks strange but different, therefore I like If I could find a red '5' badge then I'm seriously tempted to put it afterwards Next up is painting the side skirts silver and somehow acquiring a silver VTi lip. Also may visit a breakers yard to try and replace the dented quarterpanels (Not done by me!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS1T Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah, everytime I look at it now it seems like a different car. I took the roof rails off as well but it wierded me out just a bit too much, so back on they went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalesi2001 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Looking good dude, how about some clear side repeaters for a nice cheap mod? Get clear from an accord or smoked from a rover 400! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Looking good dude, how about some clear side repeaters for a nice cheap mod? Get clear from an accord or smoked from a rover 400!x2 - it's suprising the difference it makes... it'll be even more so now that you've colour coded it...I quite like the look of what you've done like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS1T Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I thought about that, i've still got some paint left over so I can just paint it when i get it.Incidentally, does anyone know where I can get a new headlight washer from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
