I think getting other people's opinions is great, sometimes things are said that you may not have previously thought of and you may look at things from a different point of view. What I don't like is people getting angry/abusive because YOUR car is not how THEY would like it and you won't change it for them..

Your front bumper, for instance - you say you don't like it, but a different number plate location and different indicators may change your mind completely (and that's a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing the whole thing). Maybe laying the plate on the flat lip at the bottom and some 5th gen/Integra indicators might fit in the gaps without being at diagonals could change the look enough for you.. or perhaps the standard indicators will fit in those gaps if placed vertically? Or lose them completely and make the corner lights the indicators..

For sure bodykits aren't to everyone's taste these days, but they probably were at some point in the past - hell, I used to like Vauxhalls but I wouldn't buy one now!!

I think you could possibly blame all the hate on the front bumper

you don't even have a huge spoiler

Tbh with most American forums/based pages unless you have 10" BBS rims (and all 10" of that must be lip bro) and scrape everything everywhere you're not cool. As a Honda owner though you're already tarred with the gentleman's sausage brush because of all the Chavics so you're already losing :lol:

drokk 'em! your car, do what makes you happy. i get the same sort of reaction to mine from the purists, but i like it and for good or bad it is a head turner! :lol:

Also i have the same sideskirts!

In my opinion though, the diagonal indicators hurt my soul, i reckon you will have a bit more love for the front end when they are straightened up.
And maybe a square jap style number plate?

All in all mate i like your car, you have done a great job on it.

Insulting a persons car is like insulting a persons wife or Girlfriend. If you can't say anything nice bloody zip it and say nothing.
As I understand it the snide comments did not come from this forum but if it does I will delete them and if the powers that be don't like it I am gone from here. This is not Barry Boys and I would not wish to be part of a forum like that. We are a friendly lot and a bit of gentle leg pulling is OK but abuse is not to be tolerated in my opinion.

Wait..... there is a batmobile bodykit??

As some may know I do the Batman thing with my 4g for charity every year, this year driving to Rome. So... If anyone has a bodykit they want to get rid of, I'll happily take it off their hands and its all for a good cause!!

Back on topic.... The Lude is a beautiful car OEM or there is the potential to add your own style, so it attracts purists and modders alike, that hating is ridiculous!

Bludge this one yours then?
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewt ... =1&t=38729

or this one
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewt ... f=1&t=1366

Maybe this
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewt ... =1&t=16922

Is pink your colour
http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewt ... =1&t=38423

You are the stig and I claim the reward

Seriously I cannot understand why these spotty erks run about with camera's to post pictures of cars they don't like. OK some are a bit hard to take but cracked panels maybe the next job to do and missing paint ,most of us have had that as well at some time or another. They also trashed a very nice Lady who is a forum member on PUK for red wheels on a black car ,windscreen wipers that did not line up and the starfish tailpipe(Tilly) What a boring old world it would be if we were all the same. As for colour perhaps BB would like us all to live in monochrome!If its your car and you like it,fine but don't come over all high and mighty if you don't like it(aimed at whoever had a swipe at Peachy on FB and the Barry Boys idiots)
