VSM EJ, Colour Coding.

[dHayes]

Finally got around to making an account on here so thought I'd post a little bit of my humble build so far!

This is my first car, I've always been a fan of hondas so a civic had to be my first car. After a little bit of searching I came across this..

Slightly rough around the edges to say the least but the basics were there, and more importantly for a 20yo, I could afford the insurance!

So, the main issue was this dent..

After getting a few quotes from some local places all with sketchy reputations I decided to save up and take it to a local jaguar repair shop, getting on for 1.5x the price of the other places but they did a good job!

After this I bought myself a mugen rep lip and was happy with that for a while!

So that's how it stood for a while, was happy driving around and putting money aside to buy some bits. After a bit of thinking I decided to get myself some Function 7 goodies!

An awesome bit of kit, would recommend it to anyone! So again that's how it sat for a month or so whilst I saved for some more goodies.

I wasn't really sure what to do next, luckily the decision was made for me thanks to a friend selling one of my favorite sets of wheels, Volk TE37s!

Loving how the car looks now, the new wheels have completely transformed it!

Next on the list is to get the car colour coded, get a spoiler of some description and then get saving for a swap!

Cheers for the comments! As far as a swap goes I still have no idea, I plan to do everything but and then just save up and do it properly!

Little update, got hold of a Hond-R X-Brace at long last!

So much awesome!

Looks sick on the te37's!

Thanks man!

hond-r do x braces ? how much was that?

They certainly do, I bought this from a friend, as far as I know they still make them. Your best bet would be to give them a call!

Not a major update but I finally got around to getting some colour coded bits..

Also replaced the rear bumper and lip..

Looking much cleaner!

Next up will be a bit of paintwork, going to get the front bumper and lip resprayed as the colour match is a bit off and daily driving has resulted in a fair few stonechips, also going to get the door handles done and then a spoiler!

Here's an instagram picture after giving it a quick wax..

Comments welcome.
