Cheers Mr Todd, I hope it all turns out ok too!

Think today I decided on Rota grids for my wheels....it was proving too complicated to get a set of rota D2s from the states...ugh

After you get the kit on it will feel like yours at last.

Yup, sounds about right  s:) :) s:)

Think this is why I could never drive a standard car, as I like things being a little bit "me"

I know exactly what you mean. I had to make my Civic a bit different from the Norm so I had 'Civic' decals down the side of it (which were gold   s:( :( s:(   but I hand painted them black   s:) :) s:)  ). A bit chavy, but even something as small as that helps you to make the car your own and stand out from everyone elses, it's why I made sure I got a 2 with the bodykit as I would've kicked myself when I'd have spent 2k on buying one myself  s:) :) s:)

I see good things coming for this car and I think it might be one of my favs once it's finished.

Cheers dude, encouraging comments indeed!

I'll pass on the civic decals though  s;) ;) s;)

Think I'm gonna get 2 very small decals for the lower skirts.....red of some sort, to tie in with the interior and the red wheels etc etc

Not sure about the weight in comparison, as they're 16 and 17" rather than stock 15, but I can say they're REALLY light (granted there's no tyres on them!).

Buggers only sent me 2 centre caps though, and as per those pics, it seems the 17s have larger recesses....odd...

They are nice rims. Did I miss where you told us the width? What tyres are you going to run?

Welllllll it just so happens 2 of my tyres arrived (god knows where the other 2 are!) so I had them put on the wheels and fitted them  s:) :) s:)

Anyways, for some reason my springs are currently refusing to settle down, so the car looks like it's on stilts more than normal! Springs are to follow anyways!  s:D :D s:D  

So...pay no attention to the ride height!

Oh, and they're staying gunmetal til the red for my interior has been finalised  s:) :) s:)

Ahhhh all fitted! Photo's crap as the shutter was playing funny buggers, but gives an idea of what they look like anyways! I think the 16/17 combo works well!  s:D :D s:D

Again, springs havent settled...!
