Nooo idea at all!! Lol but what a dick! 16quid each they are ffs!! And yeah I know the wheels r bad, had some probs with the engine so once all that has been sorted next on list is ep3 wheels, maybe a set that need refurbed as my mate can do it and he has the paint!!

Bigger pictures please.

:scratch: with the wheels but looks nice and clean mate :salut:

I can just about see the 'R' on the sideskirt! Replaced not removed yer?
Are these the stickers from a Type R, 06 onwards?
Looks like it, different fonts!
They look genuine Honda but I can't see full sticker
Could look ok if done all round with badgeing to no??
Hard to decide without seeing full picture. :thumbup:

Guys how do I make these pictures smaller when I am linking them from image shack??

just resize the pixels in photoshop or even paint or whatever you use before you upload them to imageshack then when you copy the [IMG] link into your post they will be a nice size.
