Anymore bodywork pictures?
That's something I'm still looking for, as well as halo lights and a honeycomb grill.

As for the bodywork pictures, that's all I have. I was working long days when they had the car and I never made it up to see it, the pictures I do have is from when my dad had a quick look.

Apparently all of inside arches had rotted right through too but it's all sorted now :D

Sounds interesting, do you remember how much it cost? And also would I need a product number if I went directly with honda? I would like to find out what other cool parts they have

I don't know how I missed this post :?
I think it cost over £120 or so , the Prelude badge I bought later to fix to the grill was about £50 :shock:
I can't remember the part number i'm afraid.
Cheers ;)

Update time again. Not too much has happened but its well overdue.

I manged to pick up a rear and front lip in black from someone on here breaking, I've had them resprayed to match for maximum sexyiness
I got rid of the horrible number plate holder and stuck on a square number plate.
I also grabbed some yellow front fogs as i thought it would go well with the blue, and i haven't seen other people with them. (don't ask me if they're wired up yet)

video of rear lip if interested:

Lastly i got around to doing one of the first jobs on my list to do, and i mean the list i made when i first got the car. fixing my faded and corroded headlights.

video of fogs and headlights if interested:

So yeah that's the update. If you've seen my recent posts you will know that I'm occasionally having stalling issues. Its intermittent so i really don't know if it is fixed now or when it'll be fixed. anywho, when its sorted I've got a few more goodies to put in the car so hopefully you'll see that in the next update :D
