Any nods that are sinple but worth it let me know.

The sticker on the Slam pannel (i think) tells you the colour code.

This is mine. 

Plasti dip matt black bonnet + alloys. Not spray paint but spray plastic (my first time spraying and i think it looks good)

Tinted windows.

Carbon wrapped Door handles + fuel flap + interior panels + rear bumper trim + mirrors.

Fly eyed front lights.

Black lexus rear lights (brake fog and reverse)

Red trim push fit really cheap really easy to do.

Has your car been through MOT yet since you have done the rear lights @Liam121093 I doubt it will pass as there doesn't seem to be a rear reflector that hasn't been made darker.

It had an MOT 3 weeks after i finished all this passed with a couple of advisories (shock absorbers worn).

No problem with lights at all

I've heard of cars not passing due to the reflector issue, maybe it's just been a 'jobsworth' tester in those cases [emoji106]

I still have the third brake light as standard.

I read a few post before ordering and also researched if they were legal as they are dark but everywhere said they were fine.

I wonder if that's the saving point, the high level light.

I'm not sure but the main thing it passed.

This is mine.

Tinted windows all round.

wind deflectors.

RS alloys.

Aftermarket head-unit.

Sub + amp in the boot.

Ultra white headlights + sidelights.

Changed fan switches.

Changed clutch, brake and accelerator covers.

Hardwired dash cam straight to fuse box.

Fitted cigarette lighter/charging port in boot.

I haven't made any engine changes. Not much point on the 1.6, to get a noticeable change in performance you'll need to spend serious cash.

I'll upload more pictures of the interior if you wish.

Mine is a 1.6TDCI rammaped from 110BHP to 135BHP massive difference but im not sure what it will be like on the petrol.

Looking good mate, I do like the alloys.

I did look at getting mine remapped with a few other aftermarket parts. But the amount of money spent on remapping + various parts isn't worth a 2bhp gain besides, they keep up with traffic, and they're faster off the line a 2.4 (I believe) turbo honda civic
