The rear panel has to be undersealed if your going to protect it properly. Same with behind the tail lights and rear quarters as these civics are notorious for having gasket leaks.

That's some quite wrong information there mate.

Do you think that bodyshops underseal back panels to stop them corroding? Of course they get painted.

Not sure what you mean gally mate. When i did mines in the summer there was a load of crap on the rear panel which i spent a while while cleaning off before i undersealed it. It was undersealed before by a bodyshop and they did a poor job of it (didnt even bother taking off the fuel sender cover). Also whats the harm in undersealing the rear panel even if hypothetically speaking it doesnt need to be done? As long as you dont get any on the paint and its done properly then you cant have too much underseal. thats how i see it anyway.

I wish I could run the car without a font plate

Turkish · May 30, 2011

Looks low (cunning use of the speedbump

) when's it getting the stickers fitted or you leaving them off? What size plates are you running?

henryp · May 30, 2011

Haha, shhhhh

.. Stickers.. Stickers.. Stickers... I'm really unsure, they're in the glove box at the moment but I think I'm going to leave it without them for awhile.. The plates are 12'x6'

Turkish · May 30, 2011

Thought they were, same as I'm running, anything larger looks like it should be attached to a LWB Mitsubishi Pajero!

Wheels, but that will be awhile! As the set I got priced up from Rays were nigh on £1900.. That was for some custom 15" CE28N 10spoke with whatever offset I want.

Turkish · Jul 3, 2011

Bronze?

I really want a set of 16" RE30's to replace the TE37's on mine but that's a long way off.

henryp · Jul 3, 2011

Yeah bronze.. RE30's look immense !

Turkish · Jul 3, 2011

Just the cost that'll slow that mod down, only bonus is I should get decent money for the TE37's on it at the moment.

Ride height of yours looks good, no rubbing I take it?

henryp · Jul 3, 2011

Yeah, I think the CE28Ns will go out the window for me, mainly because I'm trying to save up to buy an EP3, spend a year on it and race her for a couple of years!

Nope. I think I'm about on the limit, much lower and it would rub.

That looks far better than the modified ones.

Turkish · Jul 5, 2011

It's not standard!

Ali · Jul 5, 2011

Looks std (to the untrained eye perhaps) bar exhaust.

Gaz. · Jul 5, 2011

It's lower, and has a huge anodised purple piece of metal poking out behind the bumper too!

Turkish · Jul 5, 2011

Stickers removed, badges deleted, rear subframe brace and lower arms, coilovers, spoon n1 exhaust. Plus no doubt other stuff I've missed out that Henry can correct me on.
