So finally purchased my long awaited Type R. Over the past 2 years I've owned a poxy little Corsa D 1.0L. Embarressing I know, but it got me through stupid insurances premiums till I could afford something bigger. Over the past 6 months, I've been looking for the right car, originally an EP3, then a Golf, Polo, 3 series, then when I got my heart stuck on an impreza, I struggled to find one that hadnt been hammered throughout its whole life. Struggling to find one, I grew sick of the thought. Never considering an FN2 thinking it was way out of my price range, I stumbled upon one. Falling instanlty in love with it, 38000 miles, 1 owner, Full service history, interior did not have a mark on it, body work was in excellent condition, I knew it had to have it. So after a test drive, and leaving the dearlership, i returned within 15 minutes and bought it.
So its an 07, Silver Civic Type R FN2 (If you hadnt realised already.)
After owning it for a day, I decided to get started on making it look fresh and clean again. Starting with the simple things first to get it looking fresh and new again.
A good full detail was in order, even though the paint had been kept in reasonable condition, it wasnt up to my OCD standard. A full wash, claying, tar removing, polishing, waxing, and glazing got the paint work all back to looking like it had just drove out of the showroom. Gave the engine bay a good clean, and I was finally happy knowing I bought the right car.
Im really into the whole Stance and fitted scene at the moment, and its all I ever think about doing to any car. So the my new project with the FN2 is being based on sitting at the perfect height, with the perfect wheel fitment. How im going to do it I do not know, but its going to be a long project, trying to keep that OEM+ feel to it, not changing anything drastic, but still being able to stand out.
