Bit of fun with the daily...

Spending most of my time doing the Supra project where everything has to be done 100% perfect and using only the very top parts available I turned my hand to another project which has a slightly bigger "let loose" and "fun" element to it.....

 

For my daily I have a 2007 Honda Civic 2.2 cdti (or as I call him... Barry) which although he does the job perfect for what I want him for he doesn't exactly have a wow factor about him and he's not worth much money so I thought what a great platform to have some fun and modify in a DIY fashion with very little money thrown at him and I decided to murder him out by going black everything!!!!

 

Here's what happened....

 

First of all I took some photo's of what he looked like before I touched anything so I could compare the results....

Then up he goes on the ramp :)

Starting to strip him down...

Here's a few sneaky pics showing hints of how he would turn out...

Then here is how he came out...

attachment.php?attachmentid=219701&stc=1&d=1497879046

 

Then just for fun (couldn't help myself) :rlol:

I know this wouldn't be to many peoples taste but I actually quite like it and only cost the price of a few Halfords spray cans, some tint film and some tint spray :)

Wow those tints on the lights look very heavy! Are they still legal?

 

Iv just bought some brighter bulbs to go in so hoping that will be legal :) not sure on the limits so dont really know if its legal now or not but thought it would be a little safer to get brighter bulbs :)

 

I have just brought a civic for my daily as well. Out of interest, do you have an auxiliary port for music in yours? I cant find one in mine for the life of me!

 

Nope, when I brought the car I got a device called "grom car audio" off ebay that is a little box with a lead that connects into the CD changer port in the back of the radio, it basically tricks the car into thinking it is a CD changer but it play any music off your phone via cable or via bluetooth and does phone too :)
