Badgless, hmmm, you might like that added layer of stylish anonymity?

Bumper looks proper now, nice

Anyone got a 2.0 boot badge as I put mine in a safe place but I can't remember where I put it

Still can't make mind up about the paintwork but everyone seems to think it looks okay.

What about the motegi badge then should I fit that or just leave it without a badge.

Picked up a new prelude badge for bumper in Peebles earlier today
And will fit it tomorrow after I give the car a clean, as it caked in mud as I took it for an extended drive down the Borders

Starting to get vibration at the front when breaking heavily.

So it must be time to fit the new front discs and pads that I got for it
I've got upgraded discs and pads for BB4 as i have 4 stud wheels

i have been advised to get new calipers as the ones i got earlier are pretty rusty and need total refurbishment

I like the badgless look, (though I kept the central H)

Try and get a few more pics up if you're not sure on the finish of the bumper. Looked ok in the photos you have posted.

Took some pictures of the car earlier

Badges now back on the bumper and the boot

Car looks good in the pics
I recently got a rear caliper from Brakeways in Dalkeith for under £60-genuine Honda caliper so was pleased with that - may be worth checking what they can do front calipers for or Ive got a spare set of fronts with braided brake lines - your welcome to have a look at them

Must admit I'm a bit happier with it now

Possibly meet up this week to look at your braided brake lines.

I want to get the brakes upgraded before I do the NC500 at the end of this month, as I don't want brake fade up there

I will contact brakeways tomorrow about the front calipers, however I might need some help to fit them

PS still not fitted the rear shocks yet

Will bb4 calipers be okay for use with my upgraded discs or do I need 5 gen ones

I thought you had already fitted 4th gen calipers and running 282mm front discs

Shouldnt be a problem to fit them if you havent already but i will double check - discs should be ok as long as they are 282mm dia and 23mm thick.
The braided lines i have are already fitted to front calipers - these are my spares so should be in good condition but will dig them out and have a look.

Asked lad at garage to fit them when I was getting my rear discs and pads replaced last year. he looked at the front calipers that I have at present and told me they were too badly corroded to refit and told me to get new ones.
He then said there was nothing wrong with my existing front brakes and to leave them in situ
