yep they prey on people being hard up and willing to accept any price to shift, that was with number plate btw they phoned today and i laughed and said i just wanted to see how poor your quote was, no interest in selling at £6k less than i can get for it. Call didnt last longer than that

and betty is back into bodyshop for the last time.

went to see Honda UK about it via West end garage (im a long term customer of west end) and Honda have told them repair bonnet with Honda championship white or they lose the Honda approval for E&P. Car is still under honda paint warranty and they are demanding to know why its taken 3 visits to sort a simple issue they created.

as a goodwill gesture not only are they sorting bonnet, they also going to blend my small scratch on wheel arch as compensation woohoo the only mark on betty

get it up ye E&P! Oh and a detailed scope of works report at end please tyvm!

moral of story to E&P, dont mess about a Type-r owner, we are OCD with finish, oh and i also requested that Mr stevie wonder doesnt paint the car this time if thats ok.

Loud clunking noise when turning steering and driverside suspension sitting lower than other side = broken spring! Ordered a pair of new springs from Cox, hopefully get these fitted mid next week.

If you’ve not done the top mounts/bearings and drop links already this is the ideal time as it will not incur any extra labour fee.

Top mounts /bearings have been ordered along with the springs, replaced the droplinks recently👍.

i wished i was sitting in it, instead of a white 1.5i Dacia Sandero, does that qualify for the thread?

Wash and waxed, looking good for weekend cruising. Any body recommend a decent black rattle can spray and undercoat. Want to paint my dust covers as they look a bit untidy now and want to tart them up.

MOT passed with no advisories. Not bad for an old girl with over 100k on the clock.

I got my Type S spoiler, later Honda accessory, back from being colour matched in DBP. Had a trial fit while waiting to get some fresh double sided tape for the finished fit..

Some before and after pics.

to get some fresh double sided tape

Dont scrimp, buy the proper 3M VBH stuff. Did you get the two metal clips that go on each end then bolt to the inside of the boot lid too?

 

[Balliol]

I did, and glad I did. I'm pretty good fabricating this sort of stuff but these are tricky as they form a very tight fit.

 

[Ish's Civic]

Made a 300+ miles round trip today to purchase a Mugen spoiler for my car. Can't wait to get it re-sprayed and fitted!!!

 

[Balliol]

Very nice. I nearly drove London to Preston to get mine...mad! I was lucky to find one mis sold as a FN2 spoiler, but still an hour away.

i redlined the Dacia Sandero heading home today, even managed to scrape a mudflap off the road i swear is sounds like a tdi but it aint

man what a bucket of excrement it is, better than the MG3 i had last time, but still shite. kind of like asking for a kick in the nuts instead of a punch to the willy.
