The car is in pretty good shape for a H Reg had a new clutch fitted new exhaust bin fully undersealled from underneath new discs and pads and a full valet.

lookin under and around and the sills cannot spot any rust buh there are certain spots on the car that look like somebody has covered the rust with silicone i fink buh is quite tidy and am happy wiv it.

will be updating very soon .......

This is a very clean and original example, seen it in the flesh and im shocked it is a UK spec that has been owned by a non-enthusiast.

Re: Honda GL Unique Project (New Custom Made Lip)

Post by SuperDOHC »

UPDATE

Right then bin busy looking for a lip and seen my mate SiR Cue on here had 2 vt lips for sale so i thought il take them off him and put 1 on front and the other on the back

while i was there cue gave me an idea to put both the lips 2gether and make it in 2 one lip and after some customizing ive came up with this ....

Image

Image

Image

a was looking at it and compared it to a J's Racing lip and i dont know if its just me but i fink it looks slightly similar :)

then that same day i went to see Tahir for some bits for my CRX and i seen he had a back vt back lip so i thought it would be a nice addition to the front lip and so i took it off him

Image

Image

im pleased with the out come looking much better and soo some pics to show wot it looks like now

all comments welcome thanks :top:
