So, I thought I would show from the beginning as my new hobby, project and general spare time fun will materialize over time:

Nice mate :thumbsup:

What's the plans then?

 

[GrazReed]

Ya know what I have so many ideas floating around I am kinda doing one part at a time. Ordering the DRLs from Bog tomorrow, and I need to get my iPhone attachment sorted, so that is the first couple.

But then I have seen so many great little things from on here, and more importantly the how to's that I just cannot remember them all!

I'll not be messing with the engine or sub-structure (Costly), only cosmetic, grills and the likes, lights and bulbs, alloys in time, then the interior.

Of course, it's a Civic so it canna help that! But I hope it will look tonnes better in the coming months. Thanks

Nice one buddy. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Insides begin soon, installing the parrot, footwell lights and wing mirror retractor.

Oh and me Civinfo sticker!

Some photos of the recent mods:

Project ESta vinyl I made up, plus Civinfo sticker, on each side.

Honda Brake Light Cover (no dark pictures yet!)

Blue Start Button... rather proud of that!

Gear gaiter & handbrake gaiter, blue stitching (PS I know the gear knob is all skew!)

Blue numbers on steel gear knob

Blue Footwell lights (no piccy yet)

And finally: My Parrot remote mounted on custom dash - replacing the lighter socket (I have details on how I did it, but no pics sorry!)

Starting to look good!

Yer do you know what though it is all just pretty things so far, wait til the splitters arrive and I start messing with those, then the difference starts. Plus I need to get round to spraying the remainder of the arches and skirts... as I want to keep those.

Excelent interior job ! Especialy the position of the parrot system!

 

[ArcAneD]

Good stuff so far how did you get a blue engine starter button?

 

[GrazReed]

eBay £10, then I swapped the blue plastic button cover for the original red. £10 for a piece of plastic the size of a 10p... A lot I know! And I had to take the button apart to do it, but it just pops off. I am yet to wire an LED inside to brighten things up, the original either the LEF is gone or not bright enough...

Forgive the unwashed car... leaving for after a long drive to Wales this week, then before Sun Sea & Civics.

So, new front splitter finally on. Pics don't come out well (it was on my phone!) but the grill is metalic blue...

 

[Bog]

Wow what a difference... Frontend is transformed and looks great... Mean and aggressive! :top:

 

[John-R]

Very nice buddy

 

[GrazReed]

Cheers guys, the more i look at it today the more i like it. Needs a damn good clean for Sunday...

I have well hidden the fact the arches need attention, originals still there.

 

[GrazReed]

And now the back splitter... particularly proud of that...

 

[robbobaggins]

I quite like that good work buddy, what else is going blue?
