Del Sol to Type R replica

DecoX

Hey all,

Whats the best way to go about fixing up a del sol civic into a type R lookalike. Obviously for body details its impossible to completly convert it but It is possible to do some configurations. Anyway if anyone has done this before or has any knowledge of the whereabouts I can get the headlight conversions, I'd be greatful.
Cheers

As an example, take a look at this:

In accordance to these two comments, I'm assuming the reason they are confused is because when i first posted this I accidentally posted the words "hey all" only. So If that be the case I apologise

Theres no headlight conversion available.

You need the parts from an EK Civic - headlights, bonnet and wings and a few other bits, and a bodyshop who are half decent. The front of the EK wings need to be cut off, front of the Sol wings need to be chopped too, and welded together.

Don't like it at all - it don't flow right. The EG front end on the Sol looks alot better imo.

very doubtful there would be anything off the shelve that would make a conversion like this easy. Probably only something that should be attempted by someone who works in a body shop. Or is loaded.( and likes to spend there money on white hondas.) Basically you'd need to find a rear ended type r, get a job in bodyshop, and some filler,add some more filler, and there ya go

Actually it was the Type R Celica in the background that confused me.

Next week: how do I make a Volkswagen Beetle look like an X5?

stecleary

what i want to know is why would somebody do that to a celica???
as a celica driver the reason behind buyin one for most people is to get away from the big H head jap import!!! looks like he is trying to make it look like a teg!! shame on him!

DecoX

well as for the celica i see plenty of em around looking like that and it really puts ya off the car. imo

am i the only one that thinks the celica looks nice, aside from the black bonnet?

yea i think its grand. bonnet is minging obviously though.
just cos its white doesnt mean the owner wanted a honda

stecleary

as a white celica owner i most def. was not trying to look like a honda owner!!! i jst dont like the zzt the lines on it are way too sharp!!! bonnet is crap looking on any car imo and them wheels are sh1t

the celica gt4 is a savage in white...would jump on one of them if i could get insured..maybe in a year or so

stecleary

iv an ssII and insurance wasn't that bad! surley if you were getting insured on the legacy you could on a gt4

copeyhagen

maybe ur right ste... whats the gt4, 2.0 litre two stage twin turbo aswell isnt it?

copeyhagen

Tbh im not a big fan of celicas, in aprticular the new shaped ones, but thats a stunning motor.. might sell my euro r and buy one of them

stecleary

yeah 2l turbo! tink there is a 2.2 aswell
