New mats :D They are the nicest car mats I've ever owned, really plush - is there anything Honda can't do ridiculously well :lol: Glad I didn't spend £40 on halfrauds ones when I bought the car now!

Love the rear light, mine is a high level brake light but I'd love to have it like yours is!

I did have a "Prelude" logo on it like yours but it pretty much melted and warped one really hot summer :( Need it remade out of a thicker plastic I think :think:

AND I've just fitted the same mats 8-) Turns out the ones I had were the rare ones but I'd worn a hole in the mat just under the pedals :(

Seeing as the weather was nice last weekend I washed the car. Couldn't resist a quick photo as I walked back from picking up some milk :)

Can't wait until I have the few niggles in the bodywork sorted, then she'll be the first pristine car I've ever owned :D best start saving :lol:

Looks good, maybe needs a little drop. It just so happens I have some Tanabe springs for sale that'll do that for you :D ;)

Yeah I think it'd look great if it were even lower slung, I'd be worried about my ancient shocks giving up the ghost if I put it on lowering springs though :? plus my girlfriend would go mental if I bought yet another expensive car part :lol:

Buy those lowering springs and then when your shocks are knackered you can buy my stock ones and put it back to normal :lol: ;)

30 minutes of rolling around on a cold morning floor and we have have rear fog illumination

Just dropped her off for testing, will know the result in about 30 mins :scaredtoss: if it fails this means the Mk2 Golf is a better car than the 4th Gen Prelude :lol:

Quite worried about the suspension, it's been very noisy lately, hope nothing is worn enough to constitute a fail :?

MOT failed :( on 3 points

As I suspected the first was a suspension problem, the front driver side upper balljoint is completely shot :? Will get a new one and have it swapped out and replaced, shouldn't take too long or cost too much hopefully.

Second is the front driver side tyre. It's split pretty badly all round the side wall. For MOT purposes I'm going to put the alloys from the Accord on, but long term I'm going to need to replace it... 215/40 R17's aren't cheap so not looking forward to sorting this :(

And the last fail was amber sidelights, as I forgot to swap them back :facepalm: what a kebab I am :lol:

Here begins the 10 day rush to fix everything :lol:
