thats offically the most sh1te car ever, jasus, imagine driving that

Exactly what are you basing your judgement on? What qualifies you to judge me? Did you really expect all of the cars on Modded motors board to be HKS turbo'd Levins and have discussions about the benefits of water injected turbo cooling? My Cinq project was built on a budget of less than the cost of a stainless exhaust for a Skyline, I learned more about cars in two months than in ten years of driving Hondas and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. If the lists on the doors don't give a clue to how serious it is then you need to get out more

Go somewhere else and be narrow-minded, and while you are at it, imagine driving a very fast Mini which doesn't break down all the time and you have an idea what my Cinq is like.

Mine.... No changes made to it yet though, but I think a set of spotlights might be in order.
Only problem is that the bumper is a solid piece - I thought initially that the piece directly under the headlight was a removeable cutout, so where to mount them?

If your careful you could cut the inserts out with an angle grinder and then sand the last few mm so they fit snug?

Your bumper is a moulded ABS panel and can easily be cut to shape with a hacksaw blade and trimmed with a Stanley knife. It is held on with a couple of bolts and some clips where it meets the arches - take it off, run the wiring (use a relay and separate fuse). Using a marker, draw the shape of hole you want to cut, drill a series of holes to start the blade and cut the shape out roughly, then finish with the stanley knife. Remember the bumper isn't strong enough to support large spots so you will need to consider making brackets or fitting small projector spots which can be bolted to the bumper. Measure twice, cut once...

Throw away the wheel trims while you are at it.... Hey, am I in the unmodified cars section by accident?

If you can't see any merit in my car then you are missing the point of a Modded Motors board. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but maybe the 'What car ya got' thread isn't the place for it? Why not head over to www.Barryboys.co.uk and share your thoughts with other aficionados of taste. **me sprays 'Troll-away' all around room**

Local bodyshop but god knows how much they might try n charge... :rolleyes:

Anywhere like maplin will have relays (about 4 quid) and a simple push-on push-off switch (about 2 euro) and a few metres of cable (about euro per metre)

Yip, definitely in love - acid green, an acre of chrome, four tailpipes and what looks like a carbon wing on the boot. Is the interior standard - the headrests look like sports seats?

Tbh theres not much point going out and doing a whole rear axle conversion in some cases just to add discs to the car when its still a standard 1.3/1.4

I also prefare seeing drums instead of stuck on pink fake discs too,there a modifying crime!

I was quoted 800euro (which i thought was alot) for a rear disc conversion on my current civic.

If you picked the parts up from a doner vtec itd be alot cheaper but for my driving style its never appealed to me.

In saying that i have looked at uprated discs on the front which works out at 200 for a pair of ebc oem size grooved discs
