After the bumper was painted and laquered, we found the paint was "crap", to be fair the bumper in the pics above doesnt look great. its now in a body shop being painted, will be able to get it tomorrow :)

Also had the car's tracking done this morning... Only wanted the front done, but the back was so far out they had to do the rear set up as well. Oh my god, what a difference, and it was only £50!!!

Heres the results....

The rear was badly out, and drove like a dog.

I quite like my mates white civic tbh. Always have liked the civics though!

Im now saving my pennies to get my JDM bumper done, rear arche's, doors, side skirts and wings all done.

The lude just has so much more 'presence' than the others. Yours is a great colour too 8-)

I have to say that Prelude is the best out of the cars there in my opinion. :)

Those Civic's probably are faster and probably handle better but Prelude does have that 'special' something that others don't have.. :mrgreen:
