Wrong thread I know but did I spy you yesterday in Tesco on Antrim road around 1130-1145? It’s the white wheels made me do a double take!

As unlikely as me being spotted in Belfast would be, yes that would have been me .

I love the white wheels, but sensible me days graphite.

Pity the type r is so rare, the front bumpers look lovely

Bronze looks nice against red. Only saying

And definitely get that spoiler on

The type r that @Chris0 posted is a pre facelift model.

The facelift models were much more sedate in their styling and use the same bumpers that are on my Sport. Facelift models also dropped the black rimmed headlights. Only the spoiler and the seats remained in terms of styling on the facelift type r’s.

I could do a pre facelift conversion and get the more aggressively styled front bumper, but I don’t believe the hatchback and saloon share the same rear bumpers, I’d need to look into that a bit more.

Brother had a private appointment in Fortwilliam dental and couldn’t drive after.

Ah ha I see.

Can the black headlight surround be done on the facelift??

Possibly, looks like the headlights can be separated, but I’d like to get a spare set first. I could fit the pre face headlights, but the type r pre face had xenons as standard.still an option, would just have to pop them out at MOT time.

I’ve looked on the Honda parts website since that post and it seems both hatch and saloon use the same rear bumpers. So doing a retrofit with the nicer preface bumpers could be an option!

Springs then spoiler

Light/Graphite grey is also nice on them in my opinion

There’s simply no other way to have that car than that.

I still want to scratch the ATR itch with that colour of wheels etc, superb

Acutally just thinking, thats amazing. It only had a 4 year model span, and a facelift after 2 years! mental

Following on from the above

I’d need about £800 if my man maths is right going by his prices, which are cheap. I’m only about…… £800 short though!

Bake bean diet for two weeks and you will have that saved no bother.

I could stick that, not sure the other five people in my house would!

Lowering springs here, 5 stud hubs also with wheels. Couple of damaged bumpers you could have a go repairing

You free next weekend? I need to get that boot lid of you, and make a payment plan for the other stuff! Lol. Definitely interested in the hubs and wheels!

Did I see this back up again @Blackie?

Getting more expensive too

 

[Blackie]

Getting more expensive too

Same price as I had it up last time

 

[Blackie]

Going by what I see on Autotrader I could possibly push for more!

 

[PDK]

So what’s caught your eye to replace this?

 

[dub]

I was doing my usual checks for something for the wife, came across the Accord again.

 

[Blackie]

So what’s caught your eye to replace this?

Nothing in particular

 

[Blackie]

@PDK I’m after another estate car, something maybe a little fresher, preferably something German but I’d be open to other decent (in my eyes) estate cars.

Something like a 3 series (I know, I know), A4 Avant, V70 or maybe a V40 etc….
