Looking very nice there! What kind of spoiler is underneath the front valance?

And how did you get the snowcap that shiny? The plastic itself has some sort of texture, how did you smoothen this? I tried that with a mirror, but didn't really turn out that well.

Very nice job, Adam - makes me thirsty for my new grill looking at that beastie!

Looks mint, purposeful, and yet not overstated - like how a modern performance classic should look

Well done

Oh yeh and the front spoiler is lets say. Very easy to find if you know where to look!!!! I will post a pic of its original home later!!! Only cost me £6 from my scrappy!!!!

Cheers Adam

Yeah, it's stunning, great work!

And I like your way of doing things for cheap, £6 for the spoiler sounds good

If you bought a bodywork kit for your Civic it'd probably cost £200

If you add on the £80 for the volvo front valance £86 ent bad at all!!!!

AMAZING! That is looking unique Sir! I wasn't convinced on the painted snow cap, but that and Chris' has swayed me, but I don't think it would work with white, I like the contrast! Looks mean, very mean.......

Ahhhh one of those common old Photo 20 models! Sharp as a marble! Nah, I thought it might be something, how can I put it, not from the usual modding and tuning lines. I was thinking one of the newish VW Polos, but then I saw one today and figured I'd remembered the front wrongly, not quite it! Unique and looks mean as mate.

See what did I tell you about the snowcap!! It's the one thing that needs colour coding. As for smoothing it, I used a bit of either 1200 or 1500 wet and dry, then primed, smoothed again, primed, smoothed again (if only I could had cut and pasted the actual job) and a few more times, then colour. The only thing I havn't got sussed with spraying is getting the laquer to look good, but I have only used aerosols so far.

Just to let you know the panels on mine arent laquered!!!! Trick with laquer is it needs to be fairly warm!!!
