Yeah good plan. Honda want silly money for new caps and they go for £50+ used on ebay! Im sure they will look fine. The stickers are a really good idea and it does look better with matching caps. But as soon as they weather abit thats it. Very tatty. Hopefully you have deceded on a colour at long last. :D

If you dont the caps were dull. The stickers wouldnt last 5 mins with hose pipe wheel brushes, micro fibres various cleaning products :S standard caps ftw :)

Oops sorry, I mean once the centre caps have been painted and laquered, you're fine to put the stickers on top - it doesn't need more laq on top of the sticker.

Mine were perfect, and I am not exactly one for neglecting on my car/wheels cleaning wise :p
 
Had the car back , well pleased with the job , would recommend the company to anyone down in the south wales area , the centre cap looks fine left as standard , breaks the colour up imo . When i get chance i will get some pictures up on my thread .
 
Quick 3 hour detail...

Not really anything to update. Had the day off work and decent weather :eek: so gave the car a quick clean which turned out to be a 3 hour detail. The winter has really taken its toll on my paint. Even with 8 coats of Dodo Juice wax its still covered in tar spots and light marks all over.

Washed paint / quick detailed and polished all windows and exhaust. Gave tires and arches a quick blast of tire shine aswell. Afew pictures from today :cool:

It's been a while since I last updated my build...

Today I have been to Grinspeed to get a team m factory LSD fitted :)

It's an awesome bit of kit. Not yet put it through its paces but I'm sure it will get some use :)
