Local garage quoted £440 inclusive of Parts, Labour and VAT to do both front and rear Checked the Honda Fixed Price and its £275 per Axel for Pads & £115 per Axel for Pads, so overall the local garage seems reasonable enough. Cheers for your help Loxy

Yeah I was thinking that as well. Opted for OEM for now, makes the most econimical sense. Don't suppose you know where I can find the Honda timing estimate for how long they should take? want to make sure the garage aren't going to overcharged me!

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding replacing the disks and pads on the FN2 Type R? I've seen these in eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/400897731615 Don't know much about MTec so unsure weather they are worth getting vs OEM replacements? Or does anyone have any other...

I did indeed. Tbh I thought it would fine to fit as I had the kit and had watches couple of videos on taking the dash apart.... ... What I hadn't watched was anyone fitting tr new stereo with the fascia afterwards. :( Next on the list is a reversing camera so I will pay to have that fitted...

So not updated this for a while. Not much has changes, other than replacing several bulbs that all decided to break separately! [emoji35] Car has been getting filthy over winter and managed to stay clean for one day: Before ending up like this after trying a shortcut on the way to work...

My better half hasn't been quite as mean, especially is she inherited my 13 plate polo when j got the Type R haha. Yeah sound system is also on my list. Mostly the head unit - I am missing my DAB & iPod/iPhone integration. I think I am going to go all out for a CarPlay head unit! Sent...

I've been pleased with the couple of bits I have but its hard to tell what's genuine on eBay prior to buying. Most other plans involve replacement / upgrades tbh. Car is over 100k so wouldn't mind some new shocks & springs, and the front end could do with a respray due to Hondas Thin paint bs...

Made some updates today. After seeing Topgaiters mentioned quite a few times on the forum and as per seanb123's recommendation above I ordered myself a new suede gaiter from Topgaiters on eBay to replace my tired looking standard leather one. Whilst in eBay I couldn't resist some Mugen...

An understand the MOT thing if the characters were smaller as that's part of what they are checking for (assuming they check against the same published rules from the DVLA) - as for the plod that would be annoying as they are usually fully unaware of the specific laws. Sent from my iPhone...

:lol: unless I can find somewhere that gets the British standard mark with a custom sized plate there won't be much of a debate as it won't be happening haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reviewing the legal requirements regarding the plate there is nothing specific to the size of the plate itself. The requirements pertain to the width and height of the characters, the spacing between them and the margins (either side, top & bottom) From what I can see as long as those criteria...

Cheers mate. Just need to find somewhere to make the plate the size I want now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone got a picture of the front bumper without the number plate on / that shows where the number plate mounting points are? Thinking of going for a shorter plate (within the legal restrictions) when I transfer my private reg over to the CTR but don't know where the mounting points are as...

I commute 3 to 4 hours in one go twice a week. Most of it passes economically thanks to cruise control..... .... Then there is an overtake required and......VTEC!!! It just sounds so nice and let's face it, it's the main reason for owning one lol [emoji13] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had my FN2 for a few weeks now. I've had small engine hatchbacks (1.2 polo etc) prior to owning this. MPG isn't that bad when compared with some of its rivals. I drive about 500miles a week and get on average 35MPG but closer to 40MPG when using the cruise control. Rear visibility could...

Yeah that was the seller, don't know what was up with the link Anyway I've ordered the suede one and its on its way [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cars looking good mate. Hats off to the DIY work, looks spot on. :smt023

Yeah found the guide for that the other day so just scouring eBay now looking for a new one :smt023

Cheers Loxy New addition today to replace this monstrosity that of of the previous owners had put on: MUCH Better! Cheers eBay [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks tidy in Red. Nice motor mate! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks spot on this mate! Not usually a fan of the Silver EP3 but this looks the nuts!

Had my Type R just over a week but only just had chance to give her a bath. Got to love black paint for reflections! Needs a good polish but pretty happy with how it looks now. Enjoy :cool:

I am 28 and have just bought my first Type R (2007 FN2 GT in Black) after years of fairly sensible cars - No idea why i waited this long the car is amazing!
