yellow's probarbly not to most peoples taste, but i like how unique it is, nice looking car

:cool:

What a Yellow!!! :D:D

enjoy ;)

Cheers lads, i didnt like the colour too much at first but its definately grown on me,

Ive only seen a few in this colour before i dont think its very common,

I do like that very much, but I don't think I could live with the colour. Will just admie from afar.

love it, but a personal preference owuld be normal diamond (what ever they callem) lights and the later front bumper, then its perfect

Like it :)
What made you buy one with a blown engine?

Lovely colour!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

What made you buy one with a blown engine?[/,

it was one of those ebay bargains!,(i thought at the time) i swapped it for a 95type ra and i kept the wheels, the ra was on the hpi register (cat c) and this is ones clear,so i couldnt really resist it, all the engine work and paint has been done by friends in the trade (ive been saving favours up!!!)

the day i got it - 4 different shades of yellow and a few dents

aaaargh, i would have kept the ra to save the hasstle but then again u did get a type R on the road at the end of the day.

Btw it doesnt look bad in its older pics, u just need them red Type R stickers and ure done

Top BANANA

I love the Evo Vs in yellow.

Shame they never made the type Rs in the bright yellow like yours
I think it looks awesome, top job

would have kept the white one.

those house reminds me of Coventry when I was a student.

There was a limited run of them when the STI 3 Type R was available in yellow.

This is the original Yellow colour code 518 (bright Yellow)

and it is one of the first typeRs and i believe it was a limited ed, called the "signature collection"

thanks for the comments
the white one was good but lacked the extras of the typeR also the issue of the cat-c write off was a little alarming,

i enjoyed putting all the extras on the ra over the 12 months i had it -but i wanted a new project and the type r fitted the bill at the time, it was newer had 2 doors and the DCCD,

also mate, the houses are in lancashire, and I hope they reminded you of good times as a student!!!

cheers,Andy

Hmmmmmmmm Yellow you say ?
 

Luverly mate, just luverly :D

Looks great Andy.

Looking forward to seeing the carbon scoop and splitter as they're the 2 items I've been after for months.

looks cool

just for you mate!

I received it this morning from scoobyworld, its excellent quality,

I think it looks ok and it definately breaks the yellow up a touch,

im just waiting for 3 piece splitter to get painted tomorrow, and i,ll post some more pics up,

I dub thee Banana Man :D

looks lovely, not keen on the carbon scoop, I think it would look better if you had the whole bonnet in carbon (personally)

jamo :)

cheers for the comments Jamo, im still not 100% on the scoop but i,ll see what it looks like tomorrow with the splitter on ,

Very Nice Andy looks really good with they headlights m8.

Pleasure doing business with you

ENJOY

Mo

Delighted to see it back on the road Andy. :)

PS: the scoop isn't to my taste, carbon looks good but the shape doesn't. :(
