Cheers for the rep guys - I may even upload some pics at some point :D had the car for about 3-4 years, it's a 2000 (V) 2.2 Vti H22A8 in Crystal Blue (or is it silver????) with 65k, factory Motegi sideskirts - but strangely no front or back lips - USDM front is first on the list but the seller on ebay that lists them with repro USDM fogs i'm also after is out of stock at the moment :x

On the list of things to do, I have the front lip & fogs (once the guy has stock - pretty decent price tbh), then thinking about a wheel refurb (17" Motegis) possibly in the gunmetal/anthracite factory finish found on other Hondas & then a mild drop on some half decent lowering springs - i'm fairly happy with how the car performs so no real need for massive engine upgrades - maybe consider an upgraded exhaust once the stock one gives up.

So nothing drastic in the pipeline - just a couple of subtle mods as i still want it to look largely stock, being based in the west of Scotland i'll be keeping a close eye on the arches for rust appearing - some slight discolouration appearing after winter so i'll keep that in check, any quick tips on stopping it aside from having it rubbed back & repainted? Is there anything I can apply easily that'll stop it getting worse until I get it done properly?

Cheers for now guys! 8-)

Mugen at the moment but once it comes out of winter storage the OEM bumper and Motegi lip are going back on.
