Hi all, Well i suppose i might aswell start a progress thread for my pride & joy 5g lude 2.0i Sport.
Ok, I purchased it by ways of a deal with my existing Ford Puma but wanted something Jap, so l contacted the seller of the lude has he was looking for something Smaller, we exchanged many emails/pictures. and agreed to meet up, we met up and took a look at each others cars He liked mine and l liked his. So we did a straight swap..and l became a lude owner. The lude had just passed its yearly MOT just needing rear brake pads..bonus..and already was taxed until next april. So there was nothing i needed to do apart from contacting my Insurance Company.
We shook hands to agree the deal, and made ourselves home, once i got home i decided of things i wanted to do to the lude. Firstly it badly needed a decent detailing, so i spent mostly 2-3 days in cleaning & polishing it (using Meguiars G220 DA).. Pictures below
This is my progress thread for my lude and will update accordingly..
Car advertised
After Spending 2-3 days on it cleaning/polishing
UPDATE
One job that needed doing was the rear bumper on the N/S rear corner has it was sitting right, on inspection l stripped the bumper down, and found that a couple of the clips were busted, so on the phone to my local Honda Dealer and placed an order for them and £3.98 later the bumper was fixed.
as of today 7th October, I decided to purchase a genuine Honda Oil filter from my local Dealer which i am going to do once the weather improves..
I also puchased from good ol eBay this:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOICHIRO-HOND ... 2282wt_952 which for £4.49 is pretty good and looks cool
Here's a before and after picture
