sx baz Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 this is the one i bought, ive not used it yet so cant comment on how well it works but a mate with a dc2 sent me the link originally as a few of the dc2 owners rate it apparently. Took around 2 weeks to arrive from this seller.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10mm-Honda-Ja ... 1c244608ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sx baz Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 thanks for all the comments folks.... time for an update As some of you know, i managed to baggsy a full vti-s kit on ebay, anyway i went and picked it up today. Was a 75 mile trip each way so not too bad.When i got back i split the lips from the bumpers, i then put all the bolts and clips in a 500ml bottle full of coke, hopefully they'll be cleaned up in a few days.skirtsrearsplit up and ready for prep at some pointBumper looks sorry for itself with no splitterBoth bumpers are a bit marked but i might sling them up on ebay for cheaps to get them out the way.I also finally got round to getting the rear mudflaps off, the screws were so corroded on i had to break out the angle grinder While i was there i decided to de-badge the rear, 5 badges is waaaay too many in my opinion. despite the last pic shes looking sorry for herself at the moment, filthy bodywork and the finish on the honda wheels is all blistered up so a good wash is imminent.

sx baz Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 dental floss! a few metres of dental floss in behind the badges in a sawing motion to get the badges off, it does snap a lot though so thats the reason for the metres of it.Then i used a caramel wheel in a drill to get the sticky off the boot, followed up with a bit of G3 compound. Just have to be careful using a caramel drill on plasics as it can burn through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
