New bumper thanks to rich, and new rear flaps and trim thanks to Sir-Cue.

Honda and 16.16I stickers on there way

Now looking for some white enkies, lowering kit, rear window tints, and rain deflector things

ideally you want some polyurethane paint apparently but paint shop didnt have any so they recomended a small tin of white gloss. I just sanded the honda bit down with some fine sandpaper to take off the shinny surface and give paint something to stick to. Make sure you got some tarps knocking about tho gloss is a nightmare to wash off without it if you get it on your hands or make a mistake.

Ideally they need a second coat but you cant tell from a distance. Just got to do the fronts now and job done.

Stands out too much for me, nice and subtle in plastic black, all imo.
