Who in their right mind would admit to that pasting?

Someone daft enough to think that a little extra colour coded plastic and a sticker or three, will make it into an 'R' ! LOL

If it had had stickers saying iCTDI or iVTEC on, it would have looked fine!
Everyone knows that you can't get a 5 door 'R' even though I would love one myself!

I tell you what though, if they removed all 3 stickers it would be a very nice car indeed. The silver looked fantastic with the coded plastic and "wall to wall" headlights. The tinted windows looked fantastic too.
The only thing that spoiled it (for me) other than the stickers, was that the grill section in the rear bumper was sprayed silver as well. It would have been better left unpainted. I may have been on the verge of taking the proverbial in my first post, but it was still a fine looking motor.

How do you get a fake Type S?

Honda only make two three door models Type S and Type R!

I can understand someone upgrading there S to look like a R!

Remodel an "R".

Change the lights, spoilers, wheels etc.

That could explain where all the Type R front grills are coming from

Probably - waiting for someone to do a how-to..

Regular Civic with a S badge on it. Everything else was standard.

Now that is just plain silly.

Mercifull · 22nd October 2007, 22:13

I suppose its easier to get away with than the R-Type. The grill really gives it away. The S looks closer to the normal design

There's a few older civic's in my area that have fake type R badges on them! very funny

hahaha, what a tool. Reminds me of the Golf Mk4 GTI 2.0 with Turbo stuck after it. Another car that doesn't exist. People are strange
