Before....a nice clean version 4..my theory was to start with a nice car rather than a dog!

Looks okay with stock bumpers, it would look better with proper units.

nice work Jay looks a quality finish to. sort of understand where the guys are coming from but if it were meant to be a 22b copy sureley it would need to be painted in the blue. leave it as is IMO and as you say the new owner could always change the bumpers if they wished although 11k is a big ticket for a standard type r with some wide arches but that is just my view but best of luck with the sale, i think someone is going to get a very tidy car at the end of the day.

also what size alloy and offset are you running to fill those arches?

a little off subject but what would you charge to fit the fit and have it sprayed to match the original colour, pm me iff you wish

cheers and best of luck

Tbh it is a minter of a type r pre conversion
It was done without a budget and as such we spent a fair but of time on it,
I have a few little jobs to do before it is totally done, still wants a polish, I am going to remove the airbag wheel I think and will put 12 months MOT and tax on it for new owner.
Priced high expecting part ex, its cheaper outright purchase.

well done mate, obviously all these people who took an instant dislike to it may like to realise that it obviously was very tidy, eh mate.
