Just been for a run in it, the fronts are catching the arch liner, so will come off tomorrow and see what they look like, the rears are close but with 20mm spacers on are ok but might be that the rears go with 15mm and possibly10mm for front, will know more tomorrow.

What lowering springs are you running. Yours seems to be closer to the arch on the front than mine.

15mm Eibacjh's mate,

I have 25mm, 15mm after stock eibachs springs but don’t sit as close as yours at the front, may be camera angle. I have 15F/20R spacers and don’t catch/rub though and perfect

Running 235/35/R19 are you running 225/35/R19? same as you 20mmR 15mmF.The Eibachs are 25mm, just 15mm drop for FN2

 

[Xev]

Can I ask where you got them from?

My local Honda dealer mate, £7 something each.

Look great, any issues with having 235 tyres on them with regards to wheel arch clearance

Found that vibrant silencer on eBay £128 👍👍👍

I don’t understand why restrict a 3” exhaust this way. I’d rather ditch the triangle. Yours is way neater too. I’m cutting it off soon

Changed the air filter. Apparently this is what a full Honda service history looks like...

that's what happened with the Jazz I bought.
despite a 5Y service plan on the car from the original owner they failed to do the correct service when 2nd owner had it and charged him for a second 2Y service plan.
my local dealer sneaked the filter on the first service plan so I got that for free.
I now have the full 2Y plan so zero £ for the next 2 services.

Smoked sequential mirror indicators fitted yesterday. (Video too large to upload)

Next up is a new windscreen seal, replacement mirror SODs, resprayed inner door handles and finally a double din install (pondering a reversing camera also)

 

[Das]

@Wilmo Annoying thing it is literally 2 clips and lift the top off the filter box, remove old filter and replace, it's not even a two minute job. Tbh I blame these service plans, they are cheap for a reason.

Just changed the boot struts - FYI if your boot doesn't rise up on its own power, your struts are gone. On ebay get the Mercedes ML W126 struts (99-05), 12 quid with 2 day delivery. Immense difference made, only caveat being that it's now harder to shut lol

 

[Matty_Daz666]

Do you have a link for these? Going through a bit of a boot strut saga atm with mine

Haha yeah I've seen lots of blokes with the Mugen wing complaining about them, that's why the Merc struts are popular. Search for YouTube videos on how to replace them, genuinely takes 5 mins, a flathead screwdriver and a bit of wood to hold the boot open👍
