Better pictures do this car justice, bloody lovely in that colour.

 

[TopGeezer]

It looks more purple on internet pictures but a black with purple tinge

Yeah, iv'e asked Darren for some more but don't know whether he will manage to get, the ones i got first from his man in Japan are really dark due to the weather.

In the meantime thanks to Mark i love the one he posted and made it the screen saver on my mac LOL

In the meantime i've been busy ordering a few bits for it oil filter/magnetic oil plug set/SMD LED'S/filter removal tool and last but not finished yet a purple pearl touch up paint so i can see the real colour

I reckon a carbon grille would set the front off very nicely, espeically if there were a few other carbon touches.

Just got some better pics from Darren

Lovely mate

 

[Allen_]

Very nice mate.

Why did honda put that chrome grill on? Ruins them IMO.

 

[dotty]

Good excuse to get a Mugen grille

 

[WelshyWelsh]

Agreed. Get a Mugen grille, paint it NHB and give it to the importer to pop on when it arrives!

 

[Allen_]

Had mine painted.

I belive it was berlina black though. I think that's the match for the other black parts?

 

[Stamford78]

Really jealous! Looks incredible. About halfway through my cosmic journey, then I shall seriously start looking.

November.
First impressions a joy to drive after the DC5, much more planted straight out of the box but after a while the rear damping was to hard so went for the Koni dampers, had them fitted @ TGM Softest setting and it's a joy to drive

Looks fantastic fella. I was down Tgm a couple or so days after you had the dampers fitted,because Tom mentioned a purple fd2 which even he had never seen before. Looks epic in that colour. Enjoy.

Haha, iv'e never even seen another FD2 apart from the ones @ TGM.
I'm loving the rarity of them and also as far as i know mine in that colour is the only one in the UK

Lovely colour.

[Mark Type R]

Nice dude.

 

[TopGeezer]

Been searching for a while now and found one

I love the 1:18 models and have all the Autoart DC5's but finding an 1:18 FD2 has been a bit of a faff.
This one is from a new company Onemodel made in resin, the finish is superb, came from Hong Kong very fast, was pricey but i collect them and had to have it

It was on fleabay but i negotiated a back door payment and they reduced the price also put a very much lower shipping price so no duty

Just wished someone made a purple pearl one in 1:18 they do a 1:43 but it's so small
