@ MB3Matt, I bought the sun strip at a bargain price, £2.78 :)

Jordan wheels are awesome, probably best OEM wheels from Honda in my opinion  :P, I like fan blades too but I think Jordans or ATR wheels have that aggressive look tbh.

 

So today I continued to fit my new wing mirror. Removing the door card wasn't hard as I expected it to be, but putting back was bit of pain but I got there in the end :) and yes I did break a clip from the door handle :( but it's screwed anyway so it's still secure :)

Needs a bit of polishing then I'm done (car needs a wash too)

With some vinyl leftovers after wrapping the front grill H logo, I decided to also brighten up the boot H badge

Now I don't think I need an expensive red Type-R badge, can consider that as done from the list :)

Will be going away for a while and wanted to update my thread after the big mod but looks like that's has to be postphoned, so I'm sharing what I did recently.

 

After I got a £2 sunstrip from eBay, I wanted to put a Honda text logo over it, was inspired by a couple of rally stickered up scoobys in my area lol

I was also looking for a silver VTi-S kit right from when I bought the car but had no luck. Stupidly I only realized recently they only come in pirates black colour originally lol so my options were to buy one in any colour or wait forever for a silver one. As I'm a type of guy that can't even open a door for someone, I ended up buying one in red. I also bought silver side skirts few days before and fitted them, believe there were a bitch getting back into the clips.

Most of you here were right, that red wheel tape was a stupid idea and looks horrible. I wanted to take it off the next day but didn't want to feel like a d**k for spending £7 on something and then get rid of it the next day so I'm leaving the tape on until I get an exhaust. Also the wrap around the lip was peeling off so I took it off and sprayed it with a £1 rattle can and looks much better now, no pics though :(

 

This morning post man brought me 3 parcels, a Momo gear knob, Bosch aero twin wiper blades and yellow fogs.

Shifting feels a lot comfortable now. Fog brackets are small so needs work to fit it there, have heard from other people who fitted them that they stick out, so I might use flat brackets and mount it from behind.

 

Next I will take it for MOT straight after I come back from holiday, then a custom exhaust. Also get VTi-S kit sprayed in silver and sort the fog lights.

nice updates mate.. She is look well cool, rather like that honda banner it looks wicked mate..

 

Re the fogs, you need to get some L shaped brackets and ditch the original mount bracket that came with the fogs.  with those mount bracket they will not sit flush however you mount it..

 

See My MB6 Build thread in my sig or check out Krzys's Vti-s build thread to see what we did...

Nice update Bro. .I actually liked the rim tape and was thinking of doing it myself but the 6mm one instead. . You are getting closer to your car looking like the one you wanted it to look like and I love it :-)
