Thanks for posting up some rear shots. The rear is just as nice as the front.

Looking really tidy, great colour too.

I always use Megs stuff, great results and it smells lovely.

The only thing you need to do is get some Megs tyre shine gel on there, its fab stuff and lasts a good while*

* Tip, dont eat it. It may smell nice but it tastes foul!!

I have, and apart from it smelling so so good, its a good shampoo for general cleaning.

If you want to splash out then something like 'Dodo Juices - Born to be Mild' is a good one.

But dude, get some tyre shine on. Makes ALL the difference!

Superb!

I love the look of this colour Type R with it's original gold wheels, infact I like them so much with this look I bought an original gold set to replace my P1 wheels on my grey Type R.

I do however need to bring it closer to the ground!

What suspension are you on? looks great.

I'd move the fog light to the rear light cluster and ditch the hanging fog! You can wire it to the offside reverse light bulb and fit an LED red bulb (available from ebay or halfords) Cleans the back up nicely.

To be honest I'm not quite sure what suspension's in the car as I bought it like that. Think it's just a set of springs.

Are your P1 wheels for sale?

Yeah I'm planning on moving the fog light after I get it MOT'd.

Got the orange front bumper vents sprayed black since those photos were taken. Def worthwhile

I was going to sell the P1 wheels but I put them on my wagon and they suit it nicely, plus I'd need to replace them with something else.
