nice wheels Danko

nice badge too

Bungle · 12th October 2006, 18:10

The wheels suit the car quite nicely, but can't say the same about the pretend Type-R badge, sorry.

What does the exhaust sound like?

basegreen · 12th October 2006, 18:36

Won't people notice that it takes you about half an hour to get to 60 when they're behind you looking at the fake badge?

johnd · 12th October 2006, 18:44

Why put the Type-R badge on?

DanKo · 12th October 2006, 18:47

Got it for free from Halfords of a mate Lol.

So why not...

Bungle · 12th October 2006, 18:51

...Because mot people will know that your car isn't a Type-R.

I really like the front spoiler though, is that Honda's own? And how does the new exhaust sound?

PTR · 12th October 2006, 19:03

(He dosen't have the exhaust yet. In two weeks or so he will have it. I am also very qurious about it!)

So DanKo, your car looks very cool, I really like it!

But why didn't you buy the i-VTEC engine?

Bungle · 12th October 2006, 19:03

Insurance, I think. I asked that too a while back!

IWANTACIVIC · 12th October 2006, 19:05

looking good like the wheels , lol at the badge it lookes out of place but good for a laugh.

Andrea · 12th October 2006, 20:07

the car looks ace but im sorry i really dont like the type r badge!!

Hartside · 12th October 2006, 20:18

Wheels and car look excellent

(lose the badge though

)

TTDegs · 12th October 2006, 20:28

LOL

I wondered when this sort of thing would happen

someone 'badges' their car, and people jump in

hey - I wouldn't, by why shouldn't he?

it's not like it was up for sale as a Type R - what harm is it doing?

Just my 2p - I've just seen this sort of thing kick off elsewhere.
It's very easy to pass a 180 TT off as a 225, and owners were getting well wound up over it.
"Devaluing the brand" was the most oft used cry.
And when someone put an RS badge on.... blimey!
And Audi don't even make a RS TT

Live and let mod

Andrea · 12th October 2006, 20:31

nobody said that he shouldnt, he does what he does, we are just saying that we dont like it.

TTDegs · 12th October 2006, 20:39

fair comment Andrea

apologies if I over-reacted

karlak · 12th October 2006, 20:40

I think the only thing I do like are the tints. How heavy is the tint, cost etc. Does work very well with the Blackk. Could you not have got the storms, which IMO opinon, again on NHB look awesome?

I guess it is common place to make a 'lesser powerful' car look more potent for the younger drivers. Certainly round here, they have exhausts the size of bin lids, great at 2am (not !!) - Carlos Fandangio wheels, and picnoc tables for spoilers etc. But, there cars are allways immaculate, I just wonder how they afford it..................Oh yes I remember, no mortgage, no bills and no kids.... LOL

Danko, You go for it mate, if you are happy that is all that matters.

TTDegs · 12th October 2006, 20:45

first time I've ever seen directional wheels though!

(pics 6 and 11)

Roger Stone · 13th October 2006, 00:30

The badge sucks!

Close but no cigar!!!!

DanKo · 13th October 2006, 00:35

Ok, I will remove the badge sometime, Just looked at it for abit, and it does look abit outta place, but when putting it on, didnt really put much notice in it.

elisgriffiths · 13th October 2006, 02:10

Live and let mod as TTD said

Your car looks lovely. The tints and really nice rims. (sorry al i have been watching to much pimp my ride again...) Badge or no badge it looks good. If you like it that is what is important.

To be a hypocrite though I wouldn't have the badge...but as I said if you like it

Just a quicky though how much of an effect as a % increase is this haveing on your insurance? (don't need the quote in £(none of my bussiness as I am sure You feel) just the percentage increase) thinking of having a pop at my Civic soon and just wanted an Idea.

Cheers and happy Cruising
