seems to be quite a marmite thing. .but imo looked better than a uk plate. and to be fair i didnt want a number plate back on the front of it, but terry wouldnt let it leave without one, and he is jesus so i had to obey his commands lol

Jap plate looks bit tidied than uk one IMO. So I think it was a good call. And before it left, he wanted to leav it on the front window. But I couldn't let that happen.. Couldn't hav my cousin be one of those idiots who look like they can't afford no. Plate stickies lol. I honestly love the car. Just needs to get then coilovers and wheels on.
And on the jdm vs uk teg thing. If it were a jdm I wouldn't hav suggested this colour. I think the shape let's the colour work. Dispite my deep desire for a jdm teg, this colour just wouldn't hav worked as well IMO. Uk teg tho in piratesblacks the ticket lol.

I have a real want for a dc2 and this have just made my desire greater.
The colour and the quality of the paint looks like pure perfection. I will own a teg one day but I have always wanted to avoid white. This ticks all the boxes for me.

fantastic looking, great job!!
One of my favourite Hondas in my favourtie Honda colour = Awesome!!
Great idea for the paintwork colour lad, Im surprised this has not been done before
some great photos of the paintwork and the work done to the car, how long did the project take?
I would say you will be tortured with punters wanting to buy it now
get some pics up when you get the new rims on

UPDATE TIME - coilovers
ok now that ive got some money saved again it was time to start doing some things i wanted to do.
first was to paint the callipers/arches etc black just to tidy it up. wheels also came of, as they do every month, for a polish and wax. only an after photo:
then came the bigger update, the one i was waiting for. got a set of meisterR zeta R coilvers and adjustable camber arms.
it was like christmas again
put them in as they came, highest setting, and even at that it was lower than standard.. so spent today giving car its first wax since being painted and lowered the coilovers down until i was happy. fronts have just over 1cm left and backs have about 2cm left in them but im happy with how it sits for now, just playing about with dampening settings now to see what i prefer. great coilovers though and the ride is great aswell!
