Dropped the alloys off today. I had decided to go for something different than planned, which I think Ratty would have approved of more, but alas I'd left it too late, and not enough time to order the paint in time

I thought it was a bit of a gamle. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be happy with how they turn out

The Honda grey looks like it matches spot on.

It is a bit paler than the bumpers, but it's only really the foglight bezels that give it away, but they don't stand out, so it's fine

Would be good to see how much darker the next shade of Honda grey compares though, for future reference.

Cheers bud

I've not ordered any vinyl for the wheels yet as I'm going to see how the paint turns out first.

Insurance is cheap! Was £117 last year, but doubled this year and went up to £240. That is limited mileage though as it's not my daily. Running costs though... She's a gussler! Part reason I want to drop an H22 in there... Better MPGs

Really Nathan?? In the 3 weeks I've owned it, I've put in about £80 in total and done about 700 miles on that!!! Surprised yours is a guzzler.

My insurance is a bit more than Nathan's but that's cos I've got points, 1 year ncd and I live in London

Hmmm... Maybe she's in need of a good full service then

Got new oils and filter coming this week, so I'll get new plugs and that too. Remember mine's an auto as well though

Yea, forgot yours was an auto. Is yours an LXi or EXi by the way?

Mines a manual but I rag it

Ratty, you know I love you.............. you wouldn't happen to have some spare monterey green paint around at all would you?

You could get a paddling pool full of mud, throw it in the middle and watch me n Nathan fight for it

I'd let you dive straight in for in Dom... I'll just punch you in the kidney for it when you're clambering back out again

She's an EXi, Same as yours right?

That'd be great Ratty cheers
