Update.

Gonna let the photos do the talking this time as I've already missed most of the build shots and there's not really much to explain. I'll briefly go over what has been done at the end.

Brakes
Right, the brake upgrade is now complete. It consists of Accord type R calipers and carriers, Mtec Discs, Hawk HPS pads and a set of Hel braided hoses. I also managed to get the hang of pipe flaring and have replaced the rear brake lines myself.

Bodywork
The front and rear bumpers and wing mirrors have been painted. I've added sideskirts and front and rear splitters from the accord wagon SIR-T. The rear lower lip spoiler is an option that wasn't fitted to my car so I added that and the Modulo mid spoiler. I also replaced the stock grill with a mugen one.

Wheels
The wheels are the most recent addition. They are Enkei NT03+M in hyper silver. They are 17 x 7.5 et40. They could maybe do with some small spacers on the back and I'm not 100% happy with the ride height but that is easily sorted.

Apologies for missing most of the build shots, I've been real busy recently with the aerodeck breaking down and all but I still have plenty of work left to do with the accord. I'm going to compile a to do list and post it on here so you guys can see what I have planned and hopefully it will keep me motivated to complete the whatever is on it.

Please feel free to let me know what you guys think.

Ha, I kinda knew that might be the response. I did fit the mid spoiler on its own first but didn't like it but once I fitted the other one it seemed less prominent. I like it currently with both although I haven't tried it without the mid spoiler so I might give it a go at some point.

This looks epic. We have one in black available with one of our dealers, tempted to import it for myself.

Loving the front end of this! Especially with the Mugen grill 8)

How about having the mid spoiler black?... ;-)

And go on... How much @Rob Quilter?

A result of the nuclear plant issues?
