not nice, inside of wing mirrors need some paint
 
Never seen that on my travels to Gillingham!

Used to always go ice skating when visiting my Gran! Still looks the same! Lol
 
Expensive and rare carbon bonnet if its a real one. Its a M + M carbon bonnet. Had one on my old 9
 
Hahaha thats mine. Don't worry I am saving up my pennies for a respray and change the bodykit back to standard. Whoever sprayed it orange didnt do the best of jobs. Once ive saved up enough i am going to do a full overhaul on her. Shes a project in the making...

yeah its a proper carbon bonnet.

And i work up the rink
 
Great to hear it has a proud owner that is going to restore her, yellow i presume?
All the best, Dunx

Glad it's in good hands :)
Genuine ek9 is it?
 
Yeah i wanna take her back to standard and properly look after her. I know some people are hating on it but to be honest i love my car. Sure i could have bought a mint 9 in absolute tip top condition but i wanted a project. I know that the end result will be something i am proud of regardless of what people say about it because i know that my blood sweat and tears will be helping fuel my project.

For like 12 years of my life all i ever wanted was a project car and a honda civic. Now I have exactly that plus its a type r and a jdm car. I get loads of boy racers wanting to race me in their fiestas or corsas and when people ask what size engine it is they say oh its only a 1.6. When people ask about my car i just say its a honda civic. I dont gloat and say its a type r and its a jap import and this that and the other because it just seems cocky and arrogant. And most people that do ask about my car seem disappointed that its a 1.6 but for a 1.6l engine car to produce over 180bhp out the factory is an absolute amazing piece of engineering.

So i am happy with my car and once i save up enough money the real fun can begin.

Yeah genuine mate. I just cant wait to start really working on her. But as with everything time is money and recently i have been so busy at work i havent had a proper day off and the weather hasnt been great to start working on all the small bits i can do.
 
It was on eBay back in 2009 when I started looking for my first EK9, you could always spray it Plastidip matt-black as the stuff peels straight off almost like vinyl wrap when you want to respray it.

Saw this on civiclife. Glad your doing something about it. Looks stuck in the nineties.
If you dont mind me asking, how much did you buy it for?
