Forum police are out already I see.
Numberplate is apt.
This is going to be good.

Lovely motor. Though daft looking spoiler and splitter. Good to see it on here.

Close - Tegiwa at the back, Stuke at the front.

I too am interested to see where this goes, and how many people end up weeping over it. Is this your daily?
|

Well, that's won me over. * abandons logic* |

No, second car. Toy. Although it does come out and play every day - great way to blow off steam after work, taking it for a hearty blast in the countryside!

I like these, so I'm interested to see where it goes.
I do think that rear spoiler looks like a bike rack, however, it's your car and it's nothing that can't be reversed if needed, crack on.

I'm liking the splitter on the front but I always like them! I still recall the feature Revs did on how to fit the more generic ones on! As for the rear spoiler it's not my thing on any car! But you were looking to ruffle feathers  . Intrigued to see what else you have in store for this. |

But you were looking to ruffle feathers. Well, kinda! But basically, modifying your car for anyone other than yourself is for suckers. I'm taking a retro punk approach... I always wanted a car with a Touring Car wing ever since I used to watch the BTCC at Brands Hatch as a kid. Now I have one. Makes me smile. |

When you put it like that dbizzle it all begins to make more sense  . |

Ive got a stock EP2 as my daily and I love it, its not silly fast like my mums EP3 was but its a nice drive and doesn't hang around. I did think i was going to hate the gear stick location but its in exactly the right place, Heated seats are a real bonus too. #lovemycivic

I love this. The spoiler looks epic too. Keep up the great work.

Shouldn't the rear wing be mounted with blue tack & suction cups? Not against the deliberately absurd size or raw racer style, but perhaps the shape just needs to fit/relate better to body & original spoiler to be more convincing & be taken seriously. Looks too much like a generic catalogue design otherwise even if the detail design of those amazing mounting arms looks like time & thought has gone into it. |

These are sixteen years old now. When this forum started, these cars were sixteen years old: E34 5-series Z1 Tipo Corrado Renault 19 And we LOVED those back in 2004. Too new? Far from it. *n |

Top grammar tips!

Seen a few photos of this on your Flickr and properly love it! I worked at Honda in 2007 and driving these was a daily thing and never ever got boring. I ended up buying the Toyota effort (Corolla TS) a few years ago and whilst good was never a Type R. I think it is definitely an itch that needs scratching when I have gotten over being a pick up driving hillbilly!

Always! But I didn't think it was interesting enough to warrant an update here - I've had fitted a Kenwood double-DIN DAB/DVD head unit with Apple CarPlay, which is pretty nifty. Does all sorts of clever things. Better than the rubbish head unit that came as standard. You can use the maps app on your iPhone as a sat nav on the big screen! I like living in the future. H8 YAY is currently at the local garage, thinking about what it's done, like a puppy who's widdled on a new rug. The alarm randomly started going off on Saturday, and kept doing so every ten minutes or so until I went full Basil Fawlty on it with a large branch. (Well, nearly.) I dumped it at the garage and said 'make it stop making this noise'. I rang them yesterday to see how it was getting on - they told me that it hadn't done it once since. I'm leaving it with them a while longer, as a sort of punishment. More interesting things to come! Might upgrade the brakes next... |

Sweet stuff!
Do any Map Apps work or is it only Apple's own? To be fair Apple Maps have come along a long way, but Google does seem to suggest the better routes and IMO TomTom has to clearest maps when you come into a busy town with what seems to be the quickest refresh rate.
I ask as I am debating getting the Alpine iLX-700 for the M3 for similar reasons ; I am now making do with bluetooth HU which seems like a step up from CDs and a tape deck!
As for the alarm that could be something as simple as a bonnet switch if they are like BMWs.
