I took the stripe off the side (one that goesw through the door handle) think it looks better imo and put clear side repeaters on
and gave it a quick wash

Looks miles better with the stripe off, not keen on the side re-peaters though. I didnt know you could get clear ones for our cars

well when i finally get hold of a vtec bumper i want clear indicators and the side repeaters will seem out of place i know its not JDM but feck it haha.
i like the look of them when you got amber indicators but i dont wan it to look to much like Marc's car lol
and yeah the paint on the dash looks good it doens flake or anything i used just normal closs spray can from wickes, i used the matt first and it looked wank so i sprayed it gloss and its dulled a bit in the sun so now it looks alright
getting a crx dash tho lol
