set of 4, 4x100 et45 made by enkei. 2 of the tyres are ok. 185/60h14

they do have some slight kirbing and some of the lacquer peel, but after a good rub down and re-lacquer they will be like new. £100. im about 3 hours away from you.
:scaredtoss:

They look beautiful... Are you in any rush to get rid of them? Christmas has made things a bit tight atm :( Next month I should be back on track though! :twisted:

There isn't really an apperature as such for the fog lights, it's just the horn covers. If you look at the bumper, you may notice some slatted covers under the indicators (unless you get really low down, you won't see them). All you do is remove them, and then fit the fog lights in there. I did it a) because I like the look of the fog lights and b) I was missing one horn cover, and didn't want to pay £80-odd for a new cover :lol:

One day I will get the dash tray, but it isn't a big bother to me at the moment. Got bigger things to spend money on (like getting the thing even lower!!)

Got my Accord back this evening :D Was dark so no photos, however after a rubbish day it was nice to have a quick go in this, I've been waiting for ages to get this car home! Now to start playing with it, I'm thinking audio, wheels and lowering 8-) Bit of a dilemma RE the audio though - I kind of like how retro the stereo is, and I'm not sure if I want to replace it with a modern head unit. I want to be able to play my music through it though, so I'm a bit stuck. I've used FM transmitters before, but they're gash. Might have to look at putting my music all on to cassette maybe :lol:

@honda-hardy, whereabouts are you mate? I really fancy those wheels, and later this month I should be getting paid twice :twisted: If you've still got them I'd be interested in taking up your offer, just need to plan a day out around the journey - keeps my girlfriend from getting too knocky about trekking across the country for car stuff :lol:

Picked up my Accord last night, and have been waiting all day at work desperate to drive it :lol: Got home tonight and took it for a spin to the petrol station, then down the main road to the next town, then back again. Fook me it's fast :twisted: Absolutely love everything about it, I'm looking forward to using it as my daily driver. It's even got my girlfriend's seal of approval - we did the weekly shop in it this evening, and after we loaded the Accord up she wanted to drive it home :D She really enjoyed it, and now approves of my plan to get rid of the Citroen and get an Aerodeck 8-) :lol:

Awesome, cheers mate :) I'd like to try and aim to pick them up this month but will need to check how much I get paid this month as I'm changing jobs this weekend - shouldn't be any drama but if there is then if you could hold on to them for Japfest then that would be amazing :D
