Hey guys just bought my first lude a 5th gen 2.2vti 4ws, and was looking for some advice in finding a few parts? Need a new steering wheel as the leather on this one is gone and either new headlight lenses or whole units? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, don't really know that much about preludes, mines a bb8 if that means anything and has Honda 17in 5 spoke and a full lip sideskirt and rear valance (may or may not be motegi but I can't find enough info) any thoughts ideas or comments would be appreciated

get some pics up buddy its likely the kit will be the motegi kit, you can rub down and polish out the headlight lenses there is a guide around here somewhere.
BB8 is the chassis code and it means quite a lot around here

There are options for the steering wheel that take varying amounts of effort to make fit have a look around at people profiles

Welcome.
I think I'm right in saying that people have fitted atr, itr and s2000 steering wheels to 5g's, while retaining 4ws (with a bit of work to notch the back of the wheel before fitment). @Nitin_s1 can probably reel off the confirmed list...

Welcome to LG..

As Wurly said, a lot of other OEM Honda wheels will fit your Prelude with a little notch.

I have S2000 wheel in my car.

I totally forgot I had even made this post guys! How do I get notifications through? Also I've been living with my lude now for three months and I love her, totally amazing, a few problems have popped up but nothing so far I haven't been able to fix, turns out it was the motegi kit, I managed to pick some atr alloys to use to preserve my motegi ones, however this week I've had a MAJOR issue, my fuel tank has had it. I've made another post looking for one. Does anyone know anywhere I can get another or anyone who is selling one? I've exhausted every possible avenue and if I can't get an OEM tank my only options left are breaking the car or putting an alloy one in the boot. I noticed a guy called rattymcclelland who seems very knowledgeable and I wanted to message on here but I'm honestly unless with phones etc and can't work out how to get him a message can someone please help? My mobile is 07464999908

You only get notifications to posts made in a thread, if you are subscribed to it, otherwise you need to check back to see what people have posts (or you will be notified when someone manually tags you in it, like this: @Lude newb 82 As for messaging people on here, there are several ways, either by pressing the PM button on one of the posts made by that person, or via your message box.
Are you viewing the forum via tapatalk, or web browser?

Your only option for a fuel tank will be used from a breaker (check the breaking threads on here) or you can get them repaired by specialists - not too expensive, if you take the tank off and send/take it to them.
Or you could bug one new from Honda, but that will be extortionate!

Honda officially don't sell em anymore apparantly, wasn't keen on breakers yard as the tank could be knackered regardless, found a guy on here on is selling me his and he has promised it's a good tank
