Hi All
So after coming home from the family holiday and having to contemplate going back to work I decided to cheer myself up and treat the civic to a carbon fibre bonnet.
After checking Tegiwa had stock of the Mugen rep bonnet me and the good lady had a trip over to Stafford (wasnt her idea of a day out haha) it did give me chance to see the item in the flesh rather than just mail ordering it and soon after it was in the boot and on the way home with a nice little discount too
A quick shot of the bonnet-less civic, was tempted to take it for a drive around to see what looks I got but my luck would of guaranteed pulling out in front of the local fuzz at the end of the street...
As with most things it wasnt as easy to fit as I was initially hoping (should of known better) the bonnet hindges and latch needed quite a bit of adjusting to get it lined up nice and even and to get the bonnet locking down properly.
Also the washer jet holes are not actually big enough and neither is the cut out underneath the bonnet for the bonnet stay, I am going to get a small file tomorrow and gently make the holes bigger so that everything fits.
Whilst I was away I had also ordered a carbon fibre mugen style grill to go with the bonnet, this will be fitted over this weekend and I will post some pictures of the completed front end once its on (will just need to order a mugen badge for the insert)
