Swapped over the front and rear bumper with Lip kit over to this S-Spec.
New headlights with black surrounds and new bulbs (LED side lights)
New number plates (it had UKDM spec ones :shock: :evil: )
I didn't get the chance to wire the intersection lights so just left them.

Next on the list is to sort out couple bits of the interior and re-spray the car. :twisted:

I'm in two minds about keeping these DC5 wheels (they are not OEM prelude wheels but they do look nice), get the Type-S wheels (they look great but 16 might not fill up the arch gap) or get some Motegi/ATR wheels (which were optional wheels for the Prelude and also 17" so will fill up the arch gap better).

Also, realised the car came from factory with the Rare Gold badge set from factory :mrgreen:

Forgot to add, while the front bumper was off I removed the resonator box too. :vtec:

More updates next week now. Bye.

Looks nice nitin. If you fancy a swap, I have my old set of 17” motegi/atr wheels painted black. They will need a refurb if you want 100%
visit page 76 of my build thread for the pictures you took.

Re: Nitin's 98 SiR S-Spec

Today I managed to clean up the interior to it's formal OEM glory. It had an aftermarket gear knob and you lot know how much I love OEM knobs :lol:. There was some panels that were scratched and luckily I saved some good ones from my old car in to this. The Glass bit of the speedo also had a crack and managed to swap that over to a better looking one. The rear fog light switch also was broken so managed to fix that by deleting it.

There are a couple of thing I need to get it back to 100% original. It's missing the JDM flare, CF gear surround and the passenger side rear visor's glass bit is also broken. I have the flare and the CF bits from my old car so that's easy but the glass bit i'll need to source it.

I stil have the Red SiR interior and the red JDM Recaro's to go in this car but at the moment I do love the OEM interior and the practicality of rear seats so will leave that for summer.
