Hey all,
Here to introduce myself so hers goes-

My name is Ash I am 20 years old and I live in Cambridge

, I have just purchased a Honda civic 2.2 CTDI ES 2006 in slate grey with sat nav and the panoramic roof and I love it. I was going to purchase a Honda Del Sol SIR but because of travel distances to and from work I needed something economical (who knows I might still buy one as a toy

).
I am a massive Honda fanatic, we have always had Hondas or VW's in our family so naturally I have the same craving for one.

There are no modifications to the car, I don't plan on doing anything drastic just some nice little changes like tinted windows bigger alloys and might upgrade the sound set up.
I will upload some pictures later on as I am at work right now.

If anyone can make any suggestions for the car on any mods that would be worth while let me know

Ash

Welcome.

A friend used to own a del sol 1.6 VTEC. I had a few passenger rides in it and I quite liked it. He said he'd get 40mpg on a run. The electric roof variants are best avoided though.

Thanks for the welcomes guys!

As I mentioned I am looking to give my car a little sportier look. Was thinking of getting the type r front centre grille for a start then lower the car slightly for a snug ride on the road then stick some 17"s on it. I was thinking of getting some type r lights as well.

What do you guys think?

@wemmorgan yeah you can get good mpg out of them, if you drive sensibly but in a car like that why would you want to. The electric roof variants can be procey to replace I know but they are well worth it in terms of the look. Just like a transformer (hence transtop)

May still get one as the weather is picking up for little spins

H7 Xenon Ultimas. Got mine from Millfield Autos

Main beam is a bit of a disappointment at the minute so I must get around to changing them as well.

Kewl... Make sure you follow the "how to's" on here for installing them. There are no shortcuts !!

btw.. Your location, Clare... I used to have to drive my artic through there about a decade ago to get to a local storage place (barn).. Quaint place NOT REALLY suited for trundling an artic through !

 

[4shm3x]

Oh don't worry I don't do anything half assed! yes Clare is quite quaint and defiantly no place for an artic! It is a rather long drive to my palce of work though (Cambridge Science park)

Here are two photos of the car after cleaning
