I'm sure like all Acuras though, it wouldn't have had a name... It would have just been a bunch of letters. The back badge looks like a genuine Acura badge, but the front one looks like an ebay classic. The alarm stickers are a weird one though4thgenphil wrote:curious wonders though, the acura badges seem rather well stuck on and, ok this is daft but rather OEM even the fit seem near perfect with the curves etc! also has acura alarm stickers on her![]()

i forgot my camera today but i did actually do a little work on her!
facelift door handles and tweeter covers fitted. speaker wired in as the wire were just twisted together
stereo fitted, swapped the rear lights over aswell! just sorting loads of crap out not
like trying to work out why the tcs wasnt working, the reason for this is that there is no tcs although someone went through the hassle of making the light illuminate when the switch was pressd

well worked on the car at work, again forgot my camera
not done a great deal! swapped the rear bumper over and the front left wing

the old wing wasnt in very good condition but the new one just needs a t cut and polish up!





just progressing through the bumper swap!
the old one was in awful condition
thanks to ziyaan for the bits

Doesn't Kurt object?

acura, alarm badge, seems a little strange to me

front badge on the old bumper

the old badge on the back

couple of other little jobs like swapping the rear licence plate surround over with one with the tabs still intact. i also tried to fit a jdm half mast aerial with little luck due to this:

so need to see if i can refit a female aerial adaptor back on! at least i know why i could only get ear bleedingly awful radio one!
