Thanks, was in two minds on deciding between the mugen one and the buddyclub. Bluntcap your like the first person I have heard criticizing the hood. I knew I couldnt go wrong with the mugen one however always pictured the buddyclub hood looking great in nhb. Someone from UK had a cosmic ep3 who had it sprayed to match the car and it looked spot on! Found a pic of a nhb with one on and did a little photoshop which made me decide I wanted it! I prob found the pic of the forum so the car might be familiar:

Also did the rims, they were oem green before maybe someone could recognize the car. What you think?

That bonnet never has and never will do anything for me, the rest of the car makes up for it mate, and if you like it that's the main thing [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

To be honest although I have bought it, im not decided just yet :oops: If I dont like the look once its sprayed and fitted I will go for the mugen one. I could have played it safe and went for the mugen one in the first place but the 'thought' of how the buddyclub one would look sprayed would have always remained until I actually tried it. When it comes to my ep3, everything must be perfect by the way :smile:

Re: Nigel's Modded Type R - Opening gearbox, finishing touches?

Car will be off to an expert soon to fit the following:

Replace gearbox with a fully refurbished one fitted with a spoon lsd
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch Kit
Kaiten Super Karui Flywheel
Spoon 5.1 Final Drive
Neuspeed Short Shifter
Aluminium Shifter Bushing Kit

Once im opening I would like to do everything to the max at once. Would there be anything further he can do to improve it once he is opening? Want it to be as good as new once he is finished :think:

Maybe he could do you a deal posted to Malta?
Thanks for the link, have ordered quite a few parts off stevie in the past. Wouldnt be able to spend that much though. If anything I would go for 1st to 4th, in Malta we barley reach 4th gear :lol: They are priced at $300 on the Mfactory website :think:
