I thought rusty rear arches was a common fault with the classics.

Well it sort of is, but the Type R's usually have been looked after better than normal classics and so dont seem to have any rust

Default Wee up date
Heres a few pics of what ive been up to so far.

Full inside valet .





New look front end with new crystal sidelights,crystal indicators,fog covers,grill badge & lower vents painted black.



Wheel done in black & new ToyoT1r's fitted with STI carbon centre caps & front tints removed.






New Flaps with Type R logos.




New drill& grooved discs to be fitted with Kevlar fast road pads & Hel braided hoses & 5.1 brake fulid , painted calipers still waiting on the rear disc as they are hard to come by cause they have a 190mm handbrake bore & not the standard 160mm.




Some new engine bling, few more to follow.






Some more new bits.



Cant wait till shes back on the road & then its off to the body shop.
