Sparky Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 A boy I know just put Rota Fighters on his CivicThink they would look cool in Bronze or Gunmetal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yea i was thinking of a dark colour like gunmetal, but never thought about bronze, do you think it would look right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 my uve been a bizzy beever ,have youthought about removing the side strips for a cleaner look? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 ive stared to, but one side has been respayed so the paint under the strips is a little bit different, so im going to be painting them the same colour as the car, does anyone know where the paint code should be? as i cant find it anywhere and i cant get any paint till i do.Thanks Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 car is looking nice, i have a set of glanza 14" you could refurb and they would look awesome with the car slammed a little on them.and the paint code should be on the little metal plate at the back of the engine, it's in one of the pictures you have up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I would consider them but i need all my money for the coilovers at the moment,I'll have a look tomorrow for the code, cheers.Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 what coilovers are u thinking mate? may not be the best option, a good shock/spring setup can be just as goodoh and its Royal Purple mate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Looks good on them rims mate, I think they will look good in anthracite Keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 what coilovers are u thinking mate? may not be the best option, a good shock/spring setup can be just as goodD2 coilovers prob, i want to be able to adjust the height and damper, but what shock and spring combo would you suggest?oh and its Royal Purple mate lolMy bad Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Looks good on them rims mate, I think they will look good in anthracite Yeah im looking into get them painted either white or some dark like anthracite, but i think i want to change them for smaller wheels because ive noticed the difference in the speed, and i want to be able to lower it quite abit.Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
