The GReddy lip is pretty ruined. It still (kinda) fits and I can get a few shots for you later if you want?

pics of the lip would be good please, what price would you want for it?

I know. I'm actually gutted. I've had it for like 5 years and it's been so, so good to me. It's has very few problems, but it's time to be sensible I think.

The bumper has a smashed fog light and the paint it pretty bad but if you're respraying it it'll look good. The steering wheel has started to wear down and has lost a few threads but for it's age it's generally in good nick.

I don't actually know to be honest. I think I'll get more for it if I break it?[/quote]

You will get more breaking it, but you'd be destroying a Prelude for no reason. Maybe take the good bits off and sell, then replace with cheap stock UK prelude parts and sell the car as a basic Prelude?

I'm having a bit of a howler with the quoting here. That's a good point actually, I haven't seen many around. Even less more now that before.

Sell the lip, interior, wheels, shocks. Then just replace with UK Prelude parts which are filthy cheap (sometimes free) and sell the car. That way the engine and shell won't be scrapped and it stays on the road.

cheers bud, but im after a mint bumper to replace mine to save having to get mine resprayed

pics of the steering wheel if you do decide to break

but im with the other guys, seems a shame to break if theres nothing wrong with it. just raise the suspension 50mm and it will still look

the konis are adjustable aren't they
