Plenty going on on the forum, you can loose hours a day on here.
Yeah she's got full service history stamps from Honda, receipts etc - no advisories on mot and she's currently clocked 99k!:D last year she covered a whole 4K miles by the old gentleman!

So I've been busy today taking the seats out my silver lude and replacing them with the boring old black standard ones from the vti, really happy with them, not sure but these seats look pretty rare, I might be wrong?!

Before

After (I forgot to take a pic of front seats before, you probably all know what they look like anyhow)

The seats say Team Honda Sport, it's a shame the drivers is ripped too, they're not in perfect condition..might be able to fix that up somehow, I think they look tonnes better anyways!

Welcome, the car looks great and well done for joining up.

Yes, those are not at all common seats!
It would definitely be possible to get the drivers one repaired. You would be surprised what an automotive leather re-trimmer could do with that! :D

Yeah I thought they were rare, I love the look they have, I will definitely be looking into a leather re-trimming service, it's on the list;)

Welcome buddy :Hello:

Nice lude 8-) It's exactly the same as mine started out. And it looks like it could end up very similar to ;)

Very rare interior indeed 8-) I think yours is the 5th set I've seen including my own in about 12 years of lude ownership :!:

But do you have the door cards :?:

Just another little update, nothing major but I changed the wiper arms, before they had like some sort of corrosion or something nasty looking, so I swapped them over from the donor lude, sometimes it's the little things.

Excuse the bonnet, haven't had her detailed yet, baby steps;)

Did a little thing to the rear lights, I love this look compared to the standard white where the indicators are, just some eBay film and patience and it looks great!

What do you guys think? :D
