Honda Civic 1.4, paid £400 for it with full Honda service history and a bit tax and test, good spec, full leather etc

Chucked some 17"s on, a spoiler and couple of vtec decals and upgraded the ICE all round, hopefully should last me a year :)

Thanks chaps

Paul - I was looking for the interior trim from the ZS, they'res no ZS's breaking locally to me :cry:
Next time your in there (don't go out of your way though) if you could find out how much they want for the trim, as I hate the grandad wood, ive covered it in red carbon wrap for now, which looks better, just wish id gone for all black instead

Image
I have redone the lower parts black since that photo so doesent look as in your face as all red :lol:

Honda badge in red carbon wrap and grille surround painted black

Flyeyes

Also had a bottom twitching moment a couple of weeks ago, temp guage suddenly started to shoot up in traffic (same as Mazda they should never move from just below half no matter what) so killed the engine before it got close to the red line. Turned out to be a duff thermostat, replaced it and 200 miles and so far so good :)

Cheers Paul

Its basically everything that is red on the pic above, Including the entire ashtray
Don't go out of your way though, just if you are there already :)
If its all not silly money I could pop to the scrapyard, as its all a pain to remove, the whole lower console and dash surround has to come out to get at the trim

Let me get this straight - you've had that for 2.5 months and now it's "time to move on" ?

Yep:) I only bought it as I needed a car and this one was local and cheap
My heart was never really into the car hence only having it 3 months
Only being a 1.4 and having quite a look of a Rover 400/45, even though it's based on the Honda Domani, and it was in fact Rover who nicked the shape lol
