Possibly a respray/Spoon special?

Hi guys,
It has taken me a couple months to finally make the decision to sell the EK9. I genuinely am going to be sad, it has been the best car I have bought, Ever! Will own one again sometime, but at this time its just not the car I need. It has never once let me down in the time iv owned it. Great cars!!
As some of you know, Im based in Fife, Scotland. But I work in Aberdeen Mon - Fri.
Iv never complained about fuel or insurance. These cars are great on fuel in my opinion, even although mine rarely see's the vtec zone, and insurance for me at 23 ( 22 when i took the policy out ) is £730 fully comp, mods declared, and unlimited commuter mileage with adrian flux. It is my reliable workhorse for everyday driving. I have two RX7's now to play with if I feel like getting dangerous . I will own one again sometime, But for now I need something different ( see p/x options please )
The car is regularly serviced, with the best oils & filters available, supplied by OpieOils, and performance NGK iridium plugs and leads from Vtec Direct. The car passed its MOT in January 2009 with no problems at all, Only required a couple of bulbs which were out. It has 5 months tax. It had a full oil and filter change at the end of January 2009, I have a fuel filter to be fitted also, but i ran out of time and sunlight when I was doing the oil, and its been snowing here recently too.
The fuel filter will be supplied with the car, plus another couple of Oil Filters, and a new 5 litre bottle of Silkolene ProS race oil 5-40. ( only oil i use in all of my cars )
I also fitted new OEM brake pads in December 2008 as the old ones were low.
I decided around that time to buy Big Carbon RE-01 discs and RE-01 race pads from Dixcelbrakes for the front too, since i was feeling flush. These are still brand new and in the box, unwrapped. THEY LOOK STUNNING! Dont ask why I bought them, thats just one of the daft things I do with cars
The car is maintained regardless of cost, The car is valeted every weekend. Interior is usually kept pretty clean, but it always gets gutted atleast once a month for any empty juice bottles etc! And the recaros, dash and doorcards are cleaned and treated to upholstery cleaning agents.
Before me, The 1st UK owner of the car was a guy who was a valeter to trade, Iv simply just carried on keeping it the way he did.
The car has no knocks, suspect noises, crunches, and has never given me any concerns
That all said...Here is the car...
Anyone interested in the EK9 will already know what its all about! In short - A race car with Tax & MOT. A true performance hatchback.

But not a pic so we can see the rear lights.

I was having a bit of a joke mate - there's virtually no difference except the JDM version deletes the stupid UK red foglight. It was about a £25 modification
Black lights would be pretty cool though or even grey.
Here's how it looked before

I totally agree !
Gonna get those Litchfield Type-20 lights later in the year I think - just need an excuse to pay them a visit.

I just posted them up as they were related! I only like the first de-spoilered one, mainly because of the wheels and general stance!

and some sexual rims with a despoiler and a carbon plain bonnet! oh and carbon light covers!
