Tis a nice 5th

Thanks HH and Nafe

I think I managed to turn @Dobbs to the 5G side when I saw him some months back too

Black 5th's do carry themselves well, I had one as my first Prelude. Donalds car looks great with the JDM lip

Salazar from PUK days has/had a very nice VTi:

Keithb had a very nice black 5th too.

we (me, matt and gordon) actually removed the engine and gearbox out of the donor, stripped the box off of the engine ready for gordon to clean. broke my torque wrench and nearly broke the breaker bar trying to undo the hub nuts though. god they are tight , even when the tab was driven out of the shaft from the nut. ended up stripping each hub and shaft assembly and removing it completly. good productive day but bloody cold and windy. thank god for dbo's old gazebo.

I've always liked 5G's, after seeing VTI2003's white one I was completely decided that I will get one at some point. Maybe sell the 'Rocco after the summer and get a cheap one

As for colour, I'd go for white, black, blue or red - I think the 5G pulls those colours off really well

For the record, when I saw Donald's car in that fog light thread I also thought wow that looks good

That's a very nice car there!

That was a good days work. Hopefully we will have warmer weather for phase 2.

Could you cope with the size of the 5th gen lights?

Must resist 5th gen, must resist....

It was the way you wriggled your 5th gen wheels that got me hooked and besides, the headlights look better in real life than photos would suggest (but I'd still replace the standards ones with projectors

)

Almost purchased one from.a guy in Lowestoft last month but as work looks to be taking me to near Oxford for 7 months Ive got to save for a rental deposit first.

And then it might well be time to 'upgrade' to a 5th...
