NIKH25 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 That's a good bargain there, I'd take advantage of the small wheel size and drop it to the floor. I'd say go for the Alpine white too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZchDnn Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Then with the idea in mind of slamming her, I am really tempted to debadge the front and the back, spray the chrome black and replace the Honda Badge on the front with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-3D-Chrome ... a1&vxp=mtr and where the Honda badge on the back is, I'll have this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Civic-Bad ... 8b&vxp=mtrBig contrast in colours, but it could look mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 could get some uprated anti roll bars at good £s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 did you end up going to pick them up today? the badges will look good i reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Awesome! those would of originally had cool 'turbo' or 'Aero' graphics on them I think.Where wheels are concerned I would avoid Halfords paints. I have just done mine in E-tech competition white (similar to Honda Champ white) seems pretty tough. The most important thing is to use very good acid etch primer (I used Closterman) and as much prep as possible.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170876793542? ... 1439.l2649http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E-Tech-Alloy- ... d12&_uhb=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to place an order soon!----------------------------------------------------------------------------*UPDATE*I collected the wheels today! After having to drive 30 miles back on ourselves because my missus forgot her bank card we finally made it to Reading to pick these up All had no cracks, no deep scratches/marksn no bends and 2 of the tyres were nearly new. One did have a bit of curbing, ripping off a small portion of the lip. For some odd reason I'm caring too much about it (saves me from doing it I guess ) I'm also tempted to get plain center caps as I've just found these on Google Images: ...hmm, all white...or leave the wheels as they are (but in the gloss white?). And here is is the damage:Tomorrow (if I wake up early enough) I'll be going to get some plastic sheets from Halfords (£1.99) to cover an area of my garage, sand paper and a degreaser to clean up the wheels. I also ordered the proposed Honda Badge for my front grill mod I shall attempt to do - Who dares wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah thats a good idea, also to see if they look how you expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZchDnn Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'll be popping out to get all my resources then I might fit them on 1 side to see how it looks at the moment Pictures to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZchDnn Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Popped to Halfords to purchase some masking tape, a plastic sheet, some degreaser/engine/wheel cleaner and the Halfords Sandpaper Project Pack (£4.99 for 10 sheets of various grits!). If you have got time, pop a wheel or two on, before you do any spraying a) to double check fitment and so we can see and help you choose a colour Had 2 hours before work so I thought I'd do a quick change on one of the sides. Apart from finding that a car has obviously scraped my rear arch in our car park this is how she looked:DEFINITELY needs to be lowered...I may purchase some 5mm spacers too for a tiny little bit of poke - or smaller soon...hmmm. Wheels are off now, original's back on now and I've left the alloys to soak.My mum was like "I wouldn't let them soak, it'll take all the paint work off..." ... Next up: clean them again, but properly and to wrap up the tyres and mask them off! Then to put money in my bank so I can purchase the White Etch Primer aswell as the alloy paint and lacquer from EightSpeedUK's eBay store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
