Sent it now. £9.00 cheers Mook :)

I am in desperate need of another pair of these please Mook.... I absolutely loooove them... But unfortunately after a yet being on some little ****s started picking at them and so need replaced... I shall PayPal you tomorrow morning if that's ok :) Trix

So since mimms there's been a small update but an update all the same... nothing pretty so not very exciting :p Fitted some new facelift lights so my old fogged up ones are gone, i can actually see when driving at night now :) Fitted facelift rear light clusters as i think they make it look a...

He said he re-did the Honda logo 3 times... that was his best one to present me with :eek: My ideas were a complete risk but I'm really happy with the turn out and glad I threw my spoiler and rocker the same colour or I think it would look a bit miss mash. Mimm's was.. a long day for what it...

*BIG UPDATE* So I've been busy with parts, and bodyshops and hassle, and of course Mimm's at Peterborough last weekend. So I got my Kevlar intake fitted... My caliper on the front then decided to seize... bye bye front brakes.. tried to do it myself but it needed replaced... Mechanic...

So a quick update... Heading to mimms at Peterborough end of November so lots happening. Bodyshop guy has been paid and is working on my alloys and spoiler as we speak (he's busy and I'm impatient... not a good combo) and he is also going to spray a few bits of cosmetic stuff.. drivers panel...

Thanks Shifty I'll get in contact with them... That's great haha... I will go for a run this weekend as it's been too long since I actually drove my car further than the local tescos O_O So my ebay war is over and I can now say I'm the proud owner of not one, not two.. but FOUR rare ass...

I love your wheels, looking so good. Pikachu looks a little psychotic though hahaha

No no no haha... sticking with my black and blue theme (with added gold now haha) Here's the actual colour with #NoFilter :D Going to order some more URL stickers from Mook shortly, some little ****bag picked off some of my lettering on the drivers side and now it just looks like an abused...

I wish, at least I could consider putting a half cosmic on my car... instead it's green with black wing :-& Snot green alloys and metallic green and black spoiler - now there's a theme :smt044

Ok so a little update... I managed to speak to the guys at JDMguys, they have said that they can polish up my alloys and do the gold for me. They said the blue lip looks anodised and that they don't do that. I've emailed back asking their suggestions and possibly if they can put a blue tint...

£800 a set is not in my budget though. £200 an alloy RS quoted, they also then emailed me back today after talking to the team and said it wouldn't be possible anyway. What are my options then to achieve what I want? Spooner restorations offered a chrome look a like paint and any colour off the...

That was RimSpeed. I've seen loads of them the same as this. Think they were standard two colours. Just the blue outer lip im adding on it. Don't understand why people can't do it [emoji20] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

and now Rimspeed have said no and the wheel specialist told me to contact my nearest one directly. I'm aware that I may be awkward at times but I honestly have seen alloys with more specialised paint jobs than what I am after. Didn't think it would be THAT difficult hmmm mm maybe I will just...

Romax said no already :( No one else seems to answer emails or facebook enquiries. I have a picture to describe what I want.. I'm terrible on the phone :lol: My headlights are cloudy inside, gets all steamed up and condensation at times.. doesn't look good at all. Ebay looking at £150 per...

Forgot to mention in my non-update... Had to have a new rear drivers side calliper put on 3 months or so ago as it totally seized on and was squealing all down the motorway, completely screwed my brakes up too. After that (and new brakes) she got her first MOT test with me as the new owner...

They were someones track alloys and absolutely disgusting! :-& xtremealloys said bring them in (waaaay too far even though they offered courier service) RS alloys which is near me said £200 per wheel, Romax said no chance, Wheel Tech said too time consuming, spooner restorations won't do my...

5 months on and the car hasn't changed yet but watch this space... I've managed to source and purchase some Super Advans SA3Rs. In the process of finding somewhere to have them refurbed and in my colour choices, which is currently TOP SECRET!! I've recently just moved to Yorkshire (bye bye...

Strangely enough I met someone a month ago via facebooks Civic Type R page... That's his teg... I am so in love with my YAY plate... It totally fits my personality and hyperness over my car. I like the TYPR plate too (came with the teg when he bought it two years ago) I love the new size of...

Thanks for that will give it a go shortly and see how I get on with it... I pulled it off but didn't disconnect everything and it looks like the stereo is screwed in... didn't have a screw driver handy at the time so just popped it back in... Been productive yesterday... My wind deflectors...

Yay... I actually have an update... Three weeks later... This arrives I also received this yesterday from eBay Over excited, I never realised it was front only so now going to order the rear one to go with it... Doh! She will get a SUPER clean tomorrow and these will go on then... Can't...

Yeah I didn't receive any emails saying I had replies and I kind of forgot to check for updates *facepalm* I live in the Borders which is south of Edinburgh and basically just lots of little farming towns... I also got hit by the gritter twice in one night the other day... I need to move for the...

Thing is, that I don't think she has the same shine as my previous shed EP3 did which gets me down, I've polished her a few times and never had that WOW factor I had with the other one :( I'm not doing the gym, just attempting to go out running every day. I'm not one that's ever been into bing...

I totally did NOT receive any updates on new posts *covers face with palm* I have been preoccupied and neglected my build... apologies! What with real life and also Geneva trip with Honda and lacking in pennies being put away for the car over other priorities... booo! I'm also attempting to 'get...

I know this sounds bad... But I actually found more than twenty for sale on Facebook... Got talking to a few owners and one stood out enough to go look at. Best find ever and came away with it. So use all options to find one... Forums, facebook, auto trader and the likes... And don't settle...

That's exactly what I did... Was sick of not enjoying driving any more. No random road trips. Just a crappy car I hated. Which I will be selling come tomorrow for a lot less than it's worth just so it can go away... (Clio 59k miles 06 plate) - £1600 what a stinger....! By choosing to be alone...

Tweet... I think all my real friends deleted me a good few weeks ago - My facebook on the other hand is fairly clean from the spammage :lol: I've been in the top 3 for the past month (till this morning when some random guy kicked the top 3 down a post) Prizes so far... So far someone in the...

It's not a competition as such... Honda are CURRENTLY doing a thing where you upload photos type R related... share them on twitter/facebook to get points (points are capped each week at a max) I just happened to have a little inside competition with two guys fighting over top 3rd places...

Thanks guys, refuse to pay £32 for a tiny piece of rubber... Will look like a knob out hairdrying my car later today :smt023

Terrible photo... This is my issue, when I put the window down and try and fix it, it's just stuck in that position, and doesn't want to go back to how it was no matter how much I try... replacement? where from? thanks guys Trix

Yeah quite possibly be available for that... Was gutted I missed crail, was meant to come up in my mates ST but ended up some cruise down in Gala the night before with some Edinburgh/fife/Falkirk lads so checked that out, was a good turn out in numbers at least... company a bit off :lol: See I...

Putting my lights in an oven... hmmm... i'll need to think on that one :lol: ahh no I can pull the rubber bit down but it wont stay down it just goes back... I'm going to get a photo this afternoon :smt023: I didn't go all out with the engine bay, I just sprayed some gunk foam on (thanks for...

Saw this thread pop up so thought I'd join in... turned 25, 3 months ago :( - single for waaay too long - 2 kids, my little girl is 8 this year and my little boy will be 4. After my first ep3 got written off back in January, I did the whole... should I really buy another EP3 thought process...

I got one also... reported it then came here... sigh! Not my morning... :smt021

Welcome, She looks stunning - nice and clean :smt023 Enjoy finally owning one yourself :) Trix

I'm going out tomorrow with some different numbers to try on the car before I settle on plates this time round :P undecided on just changing the rear one or what I'm doing :lol: Yes it is a very much loved car which is exactly what I was looking for, she's been loved by the owner before me for...

Never seen them once on the board... I've been in the top 5 for the past month... Fighting alongside Simon and Eff who has been number 1 and 2 the past month or so as well.. if it wasn't for our mini competition between the three of us, I would've gave up ages ago... The top 5 didn't get...

NHB is my fav colour by far... I'm actually planning on changing my caliper colour and H badge colours... already spoken to mook about colour change of my stickers and such. Working on plans before anything is final though :) ----- The more I look the more I hate my plates :smt011

Yeah this was an online job and I never even thought about it... :smt076 - I swear I drive myself demented by not thinking things through and just get over excited :lol: I will defo be changing these.... Don't really get traffic cops where I live... only get visits out on the roads when someone...

ok so I've done the engine bay (to an extent) fitted my new battery tie and oil cap and such. Proceeded to clean the outside (as you can tell from the engine bay photo it was a STATE! ) also put on my plates, and then I took her down the park for a little photo or twenty :lol: Here are my...

I will defo go a bit mental with the photos :P I won't be at the public show, I'll be there 2nd-4th with the press. As if I'm just going to drool all over the new R, I plan on being shouted at by Porsche, McLaren and the rest of them for drooling on the cars :P Also will go get a sneaky peek...

Not sure if there is a post for this but I did have a quick scan... Is there anyone from the forum going to Geneva for the unveiling of the new R in 2 weeks? I'll be there and wondering if there will be anyone else from the forum will be attending? Trix

I shall be there but not sporting the CTR, my first time up so prob be heading up from Edinburgh in a mates ST.. booo!

Hey xD Yes always nice to meet previous owner and find out what actually happened to it... Think she was jinxed! Taught me to be more picky and I got a decent one this time haha... silver lining :lol: --------- So my password JDM battery tie came today... stupid ebay sent the wrong size...

I'm in the Borders but yeah snowed a day ago, had to wipe off a few inches off my car in the morning :( and still slushy in places and yukky.. my car is just splattered and gross :( Haha no probs :) I'd never heard of it... just paranoid i'll wet something that shouldn't be wet hahaha but...

Cheers, yeah just personalising her a little bit at a time :) plus I can't help buying little bits here and there because it doesn't feel like I'm spending as much :P I'm still searching his page and google for ideas and inspiration but have narrowed it down to 3 ideas, all completely different...

as I said... was totally worth it... :lol:

He did a fantastic job, and the perfect blue I wanted :smt023 So after a lot of faffing about, turns out not everything you hear is true huh! No drill needed as I was told by several other CTR people (not in here ofc) but in fact smaller nuts than what I had bought and been told to use :lol...

This is them on :) Love the colour <3

I LOVE them they are perfect :) This is them on :) Thank yooooou Mook

Delivery came today.... perfect colour blue now where to put them :) Trix

Just saw this on DVLA and almost cried :'( "However, this could take up to four weeks if you sent us a V62, or if we need to inspect the vehicle." If it takes 4 weeks I will go MADDDDD!! A, now depressed, Trix

You just made my day :P They did ghosted backgrounds but I know that's a no no - even though it looked awesome (H badge) - my mate is complaining because he got pulled for having 3D effect... I now have printed off DVLA saying what is and is not allowed just in case it's needed :P Ahh Hey :D...

Sooooo... like 5 minutes ago the postman came.... I only ordered these yesterday :P are they legal? I read and re-read DVLA plate regulations... 3D text IS allowed, as is emblems on the LEFT... but they look too awesome to be legal... please don't pop my bubble here :P but are they...

I managed to figure out where I want my washers, I have to get a 10mm drill and drill holes that size, then get 10mm nuts and hey presto... should be done in a day or two.. and I will upload photos :)

A hose in my engine just makes me sooo nervous hahaha... I had to take her out today and she got splattered with slushy muddy water :( See I got washers and bolts, but not the nut... I've seen these be put at the front on top (where the radiator cap is) that's my plans... I haven't actually had...

Owh it's actually CALLED gunk haha... I just thought it was a generic word like thingy... xD That's super helpful thanks, I will defo make a start on this... not today.. today is.. I must clean the house day :( I would rather do my engine bay but I think I may have ran out of socks hahaha... I...

I said to the guy I loved it - was already on you see... He said he bought it because he refused to pay the price of a new H badge because they were £60 or something?! Tried looking for you on google but no idea... I could always send him a text and find out where if you want me to?! :P It's...

She is not being moved haha, she shall sit and look pretty for a day or two :P engine bay is a lot cleaner than my last in which I kept looking at it and thinking how on earth..... and shutting the bonnet again :P Engine bay is next up, my DCs were soaked through and I swear my toes had turned...

So it was sunny today, for a whole ten minutes once I decided I was going to wash my car. Stage one... Get snow off car.... Stage two... Clean, dry, do tyres and wax (when your hose is frozen and refuses to work *sigh* Stage three... Take pretty pictures to finally show off my new car...

Awesome in regards to the blue. Ah I thought someone mentioned it was grey URL... Silver is ok... Or white... NHB ep3... Going for a white and blue theme with her... But maybe too much white :/ suprise me haha. i won't complain honest xD Trix edit- we'll try silver hahahaha sorry for being a...

Has anyone got this with the R in blue? I attempted to photoshop it blue... but I can't decide... photos appreciated... and i'll get mine ordered asap (once I've seen photos ofc :P )

derp... what he said ^^

**UPDATE** My DVLA Certificate of Entitlement for my reg came today... how quick is that! Can't send it off till the vehicle is taxed (and I try to do it and it tried to tax it from the 1st of January... uhm NO) You can send it off without the V5 as long as you complete a part with some numbers...

I bought these on my previous one - I can confirm that during an accident you are glad you have these ^_^ unfortunately I now have to buy them for my new EP3 *sigh* I had them at about 33 front and rear 35 psi... good taste in tyres :P Trix *edit* She's pretty :P nice one

OOoooo! plus Edinburgh is like 50 miles away anyways so... petrol there and back twice... probably just as well doing that! Thank yooou! Now I shall sit and stare at pretty rocker covers all day and change my mind twenty times before telling myself NEXT month :P and repeating the process again...

Yeah I know, I actually don't mind the £30, because.... When I went to change over my insurance to this one (it was on hold) I was due back a refund of £30... go figure... so they can keep their refund and change my plate :P Washing and polishing sounds good... I'm desperate to get some photos...

how do you actually go about putting on plates, I was told you get letter of confirmation but then you need to send stuff away?! Paperwork and V5 or something (which I obviously don't have as of yet as its only been sent away Tuesday, as picked up Monday night) Hating the new tax malarkey...

Well now had a day to get to know my car... (boy was I nervous driving home in the dark on a country road I didn't know in a car I previously had an accident in) but today I've taken her a spin on roads I do know in the daylight AND.... she's amazing...! Compared to my shed of a car before she...

The New R Well... I have been Honda-less for just over 3 weeks... and after a good hunting around, and some headaches I have found my replacement car. Which is sooo much better. I feel this was a good ass lesson on how to buy a car and what to look for and also got me to know my Honda better...

**UPDATED** I know I have been a little inactive - but over the Christmas period I was away in Kent to visit mother again with kiddies this time... On my way back up to Scotland, I got as far as the Dartford crossing and some **** in a focus smashes into the side of me and drags me along...

Very much so... I always learn the hard way in life haha just wrote up a help!! Post in faults sections. Gearbox now making weird loud drilling/grating type noise. does it ever end? Hopefully I will get back to Scotland next week :( oh and one of my alloys has a small crack so my tyre loses air...

Ok so I was stuck in traffic. Starting. Stopping. Starting. Stopping. All of a sudden I'm sitting in 1st and the car sounds like very loud grating/drilling noise. I took it out of 1st and it went away. Back into 1st it made the noise. Moved forward after about 30seconds it went off. Started...

Yeah my mum wasn't expecting me till gone 1am... Yeah the guy at the garage was astounded by the state they were inside the tyre. Outside they look almost new, two were ok to keep though so I have them for spares if needed. Just as well I decided to be sensible for once and buy tyres instead of...

I can buy one if I can sell my EP3 for the sale price of the new one... :P also looking for buyers haha... I soo want one :(

I made it down... in.... 6 hours.. that included one stop to burger king and a munch in the car and then 5 mins later a petrol fill up (as the burger king and petrol station weren't at the same dam services :( ) stopped at Peterborough... Think I made not bad time considering and I cruised along...

Hey Hey Hey! That took skill :P I got 2 of my new tyres today (must have sent them in two's) so that was quite quick... Much needed as when I went out today I realise I had a flat... was sitting at 6psi.. ouch! filled it up went to the shop then came back xD Now I just need someone who can...

update.. new wipers came like 20mins ago, they are now fitted :) Photos to follow later :D - too cold to stand outside and have a car photoshoot :P

Yeah think i'll leave it till next year, possibly... to be honest the past few years haven't been anything like what we are used to, less snow... and rain.. meh! You most defo should take a trip up, go see loch Lomond or something heard some nice drives up there and it's gorgeous.. that's on my...

A fake one is about £200/300 and a real one from what I can find is £600ish

Terrible excuses, not a case of being grown up - it's a case of being boring farts :P I'm all grown up, but my sense of adventure has never left.... I will defo let you know if I find any decent roads... we have some nice ones up here, I have yet to have a full trek up the top of Scotland...

JDM splitter is like soo out of my budget right now :'( Hey there in Aus - Scotland here

See under their message you have, reply, reply with quote... just click reply without quote... copy the HTML code (the writing) and paste it in a new message... then under it write your own ;) I'm a bit of a technical geek rather than mechanical ;)

Yeah it took about 20minutes till i found a good site with cheap prices... despatched the next day too, hoping to have them by Friday/Saturday... i have a tracking number too so overall they seem REALLY good :D Yeah i miss road trips but everyone has gotten boring here too... too far, not enough...

When i visited mates down in Nottingham i had the motorway close 3 times on me ended up getting lost, always a nightmare when i go driving any distance.. I will probably do the drive at night, I much prefer it :) Still can't get over 17.5hrs for one way... I could get to Holyhead and back in...

17.5hrs... that is FOREVER!! I remember visiting down there once in my clio a few months back. (my mum was down there looking at houses at the time, has now moved there) Got stuck at Dartford crossing for about 2.5hrs.. it was ridonkulous :P Really looking forward to being able to push the car...

Oooooh YAY! approval... :D I must have spent and hour or more trawling the forums looking at reviews then looking on blackcircles for reviews... i changed my mind from some semi cheap ones, to thinking not a good idea, to toyo proxes t1 and then finally thought, meh! for an extra £6 a tyre i...

I quite like the matte & I LOOVE the splitter, I want one of those for my car ;)

I have no idea :( Another update, last night I decided rather than having 3 different sets of budget tyres on my poor car, and having zero grip on the road (not good for this type of car ;) ) I ordered a new set of Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2 tyres :D I will be driving down to Kent (from...

I have decided against a full respray for just now, will get the dent fixed though for £200 (possibly less if my mate asks for a wee discount for me) I also needed a new radiator which is now in. I went through a car wash (laziness) and then all of a sudden my car start overheating big time...

ok so update again.... I got another quote for dents out & resprayed black £700.. or £200 for my dent. I am currently deciding on doing the respray or just the dent. I also finally managed to find someone who could do my headlights, so yesterday we went to a scrappies in Edinburgh and managed...

Ahh Southest of Scotland here :P You're confused.. I'm more confused.. I got quoted £400 just to sort out one dent in my car.. just keep thinking £1100 for them all out and resprayed.. then I thought about a good detailer, but their prices are about £1000 for a full on pro job... not much...

basically what I've been hearing ^_^ appreciate it :) I have had a chance to sleep on it and have been leaning more to that conclusion that the idea of a new paint job, although it sounds good in theory... from what I've heard and been told its not good in the long run... and don't want to go...

where abouts are you based? I haven't a clue about any of this so looking for lots of advice from mates :D and you lovely guys here :) i'll defo keep you up to date with my findings... I have found that a lot of people are actually against full resprays on ep3s with my googling and searching...

haha well.. that's for dents and alloys.. so prob looking at £1000? although when I was there a guy phoned them, I heard championship white and thought civic.. he quoted him £1500 just for a paint job.. cheeky... try bargaining and also asked if its cheaper for cash payments.. its 20% extra if I...

Quick update... Had another mechanic have a look and said my car is still safe and fine.. which is good, no damage to suspension that they can see. Went for a quote yesterday for getting my dent out... started with £400 for dent out and sprayed and blended. Ended up with a quote for a whole...

So people keep telling me xD it was only a grass verge I hit my alloy off... I have the worst of luck I swear ^_^ My other alloys will be back on this evening :)

I just wrote an essay and then my net crashed on me.. grr Never noticed that arnie video before that hahaha! ok back to my confusing essay that took long enough to type out the first time.. OK, so after an hour of trying to get out that bolt.. and a lot of hammering, and shouting.. a guy...

I shall try that tomorrow... a whole can.. before I have to saw the last one off... it's almost completely squished from my pliers and spanner job xD
