The long awaited badge that some idiot removed!!

Those dust valve cap's will only get pinched though Gaulty. :bigcry: hope they don't though for your sake but all mine have :bad-words: :thumbup:

[Gaulty]

Without question they will, although there on good and tight, but will not make a bita difference where I live!! Lol however.....

If anyone is looking to add small detail in the dust valve cap form, they have anti theft ones for sale on ebay for 4.25!! Total!!

So there lined up when mugen ones vanish!! Lol

why did you buy teh type r badge for an fn2? makes yours look like a fake with the wrong badges

[chao888]

Hey dude the car is clean but get rid of the wheels for sure :thumbup:

because itll do in mean time, and it doesnt look much different at a glance. get paid in 3 weeks and I intend to order the ep3 badge. works out at £33 along with delivery and I am also ordering genuine stickers for the side of it because the fella who had it before me got it with no stickers or badges and has FN2 stickers on the side of it. there £15 pound each. Do you know of anywhere I can get genuine badge or stickers for it ,for less than that - thats hondas website prices.

thanks, I will have photos up tonight with my OEM wheels on it! just finished this morning and ready for action - now I just got to finish a ridicoulously long day at uni!! which is only 3 hours but its draggin in because I know my wheels are going on when I get home!! lol

[chao888]

I've got the boot badge! Its genuine! Just need grill badge! Is it the same as the fn2 badge, where ya screw the screws into the holes on the badge, feed it through the grill and bolt them on? How much would u be looking for the grill badge mate?

[Gaulty]

So at long last, my Type R has found its self a set of United Grey OEM wheels!!!!





And I also have taken the mud flaps off the back of it!! so it's looking respectable!
