I like what you've done with this

Fanastic work as usual, well done. The car continues to be a credit to you!

For future reference, the sticky stuff used on the door membrane is 'Plumbers Mait' and you can get it from Wickes and other DIY places (genuinely, that is what the oem stuff is!)

I think I've worked it out... The dampener adjuster extenders are flexible right?

Nice update bud. She's a great example

cheers for that, duly noted for future reference. Will look into it if the automotive double sided tape fails

yep they are flexible

Thanks guys for the comments

Just read this thread.... Great looking 5th.
Not a fan of red, but when done right and looked after, the 5th looks good in any colour.

Well done on maintaining her, it's a beauty. And so sparkly.

@prelude_h22, it's interesting about your driver's door lock. The exact part failed on mine, I think the solenoid thing or whatever it is just got too weak. I replaced mine during August 2009 and it is a very fiddly job. From memory, you have to do some of it without direct vision, I used a small mirror on a pole - sort of like a dentist!

@CARRisma , that is interesting. Yeah, it was quite tricky especially that one rod I think cant be detached.
Nice to hear yours is still holding up since 2009.

Thanks for the comments gb-lude /Rudelude

Red wasn't my first choice although with the prelude being quite rare it was hard to be picky at the time.
I would have loved a black one though

Hi

Am new to modding. Was just wondering if you have 4ws on your prelude and if so was there any complications with it after the vehicle was lowered. Thanks for your time.

i lowered my prelude 30/40mm and found that mainly with passengers in the back the tabs on the rear bumper were scuffing the tyres, there's a link in the how to guides section on how to resolve it
