Milano Red Honda Civic Type-R

[Gordzilla]

I don't plan on doing much to this car, I have modded my last 2 cars so I kind of want to keep it pretty much standard, as it's a very good example.

Some info

03 Plate
6 Owners
81k Miles
Standard apart from K&N Induction Kit

Wheels are in need of a refurb, the ex owner seemed to like curbs :evil: the paint work has started to fade, so I ( or I should say my girlfriend ) has been working on bringing the red back.

Pics

After a few hours bodywork the colour started to come back out

It'll need done a couple more times to get that 'pinkness' away and get the red back. Well, here's hoping.

Plans:
Refurb Alloys
De-Badge Whole Car
Gear Knob Refurb
New Gear Lever Gaitor
New Car Mats

The car has a couple of issues, just recently had a diagnostic check and my lambda sensor needs changed. Which I will do this month. I want to replace the induction kit with the standard one. There is a small knocking noise coming off the suspension, will check it next time I get it up on the ramps.

Had my wheels refurbed makes a big difference .

Good Luck with the paint Gord, I know a few people who have bought Milano Pink ones and thought 'ach it just needs a good polish' and its never really lifted enough, and they've opted for a re-spray.

Can't believe you bought a Honda

I've never brought back Red before but Jules has so she's wanting to give it a go. I wasn't really looking for a Honda, I was more inclined to buy a Golf TDi or Audi A4 S-Line but then was offered the Honda from an old friend, at a great price so I couldn't pass it up haha. I have always liked them but never thought I'd buy one. I am a vtec boy now
