Looks sweet!! One thing i see that id be concerned about is what looks like the outline of the rear wiper mount hole?? you can see it in the pic i think with the light reflecting off it, if this is so, id be wanting it fixed!!

The holes still there bud, it just has a grommet in. I asked them not to fill it just in case I wanted to re fit the rear wiper at any stage. I probably won't but at least I'll have the option I suppose.

Yeah I think I'll take the red pinstripe off to be honest.

Well it looks like they have but I haven't seen the car yet in person only those 3 pics. Saturday will be the day though. I'll get some more pics up over the weekend.

Exactly why I dont run a rin stripe on mine is because they look so awesome without one, only works with black though.

Ben, props to you mate, it looks awesome, nothing better than a freshly painted black 4G, I remember when I had mine done, I couldn't stop looking at it.

Only thing I dont like is the front lip, I think it ruins it. A stock VT lip would work much better!.

Cheers T! :top:

I cant wait to see it to be honest. I think the NS11's will transform it as well. The front lip looks a little out of place because of the fresh paint I think. Once I have put some back to black on there it will look spot on.

Got a lot to do on the old girl on Saturday (if the weathers all good :roll: )

*Remove front seats and give it a full valet inside (will be full of dust from the bodyshop)
*Fit my VT front seats
*Rustproof inside of rear quarters and both sills with Dynax
*Fit new glovebox
*Fit new steering wheel boss and new steering wheel
*Clean and refit interior plastics
*Fit new 'C' pillar brace
*Fit my remapped ECU
*Fit refurbished Sparco NS11's (with fresh Toyo's)
*Paint front sidelights amber with glass paint
*Full exterior valet and polish
*Fit new Honda and 1.6-16 decals to tailgate
*Polish exhaust
*Go for a drive! :drivegear:

Gonna be a busy day!

Had the day off today so I collected the civic from the bodyshop. The bodywork is just stunning. I gave it a clean and polish when I got it home also fitted the sparcos. Started to remove the pinstripe but decided I prefer it with it on so I've ordered some more. :lol:

Took a couple of pics today but there not fantastic. I'll take some better pics tomorrow.
