h4mza Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 A few updates. (I'm sorry if pictures are too large, don't know how to resize them) Fitted wind deflectors Carbon wrapped the chrome bit of the grill and H logo in gloss red. I then got a VTi lip in red colour. I thought I'll wrap it as a practice as I've always fancied doing something like this. So 2 hours later and it turned out to be really bad I had to remove the whole wrap and cut it to smaller pieces to sort it out. and here is what the lip looked like before with a full piece of vinyl wrap. (Probably the world's worst wrap ever lol)http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t16/h4mza/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140214_210448_zpsa0b08800.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t16/h4mza/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140214_210458_zps4955b1b0.jpghttp://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t16/h4mza/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140214_210521_zps6e627920.jpg I then saw a VW Golf the other night with reflective wheel tape on it's wheels and it looked cool, wanted to get some for mine too. So I fitted them this morning and now I'm not sure if I like them However I did turn many heads whilst driving when it was getting dark today haha Random shots I've ordered some stuff which should be with me in next few days, clear side repeaters, sun strip and new wing mirrors as one of mine is broken. Also looking for a silver VTi-S kit, if anyone has one to sell, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Good stuff and nice little touches here and there. The last pic reminds me of JamesTopDogs MB4 for some reason I personally like the red tape on the wheels but not on a silver car. Maybe on a black or red car. Where did you get it? Might consider doing this to my MB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Nice touches mate, Im glad you did the deflectors as i want to put them on our silver M and i now know i like them a lot and will def be adding these, i saw them on a few other coloured M's and some i liked and some not so..but silver win for me. Re the rims LOL i also thought about the read ring as i have five spoke P/B rims with the red H logo and wanted to know what it would look like on a silver M as i also seen them on other cars and liked it a lot, sorry imo i don't think it works as well on silver so you have helped me discover that i shall not be doing this.. Keep up the good work fella' if you decide the red ring does grow on you and you keep it remember here at Civic5 we think its good to be different and go with what you like... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 @ UnicyclingTom, Thanks @ vtec2011, I agree mate, black and red theme go well with each other. I'm not fully decided on the red tape yet, sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't. I bought it off eBay, it says it's for motorcycles but I've seen people having them on their car. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120801165327 @ Mr Brown, I would totally recommend wind deflectors, makes the car look so much better. I don't think a small red H logo with black wheels on silver car looks too bad lol, EP3 Type-R have red H as standard. I think the red tape may be overdone but sometimes I like it and don't . I originally wanted a black civic with Rota Auto X wheels but there's still alot to do on the car yet and I'll probably sometime have it wrapped in satin black and buy the wheels too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Brown Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Indeed i shall be buying the deflectors i bookmarked for both our M's before the japfest as after seeing them on your silver M i want them now LOL no i love the red H logo on both your rims and mine it was just the outside ring i was undecided on... Not many people have gone the full wrap method so that would be very cool to do eventually.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm not keen on the red rings either, red H looks good though and the grill's nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLock Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Match the callipers to the red rings and centre caps, might blend better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4mza Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Red calipers is on my to do list and shall be done at some point in summer. I'm getting mixed responses for the red rings but I might change it to smaller width sometime later. Anyway all the parts I had ordered last week had arrived this morning. Sunstrip from eBay. Wing mirrors and clear side repeaters from Adam Rafique, respect to him for great service once again. Sunstrip fitted Side repeaters (before) yes that's my old broken wing mirror Side repeaters after Didn't get much time to replace the mirrors, as soon I remove all the screws from the door card, it started raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
