As you all should know now, my brother, Newms, sold his V6 to another guy on here and recently brought this to have a play with. I love it! Pictures do it no justice but hey ho!

Please excuse the cut and paste from detailing world!

Here we have my brothers 4 month old purchase. Its a 2005 Honda Civic Type R with just 20,000 miles on the clock. He has always looked after his cars and when he asked me to clean this one for him i thought sure! Easy job! How i was wrong!!!
Now please excuse my quality of pictures. I forgot my camera on the first day :wall: So the iphone had to do!

Here was the car at around 12:00 waiting for me. Looking clean as always ready for me to wash it down...

Once the car was washed down and clayed etc etc... I rolled it into the garage to look at the condition of the paint. OMG!

maximinimus - Nope, paint readings were spot on all over. Most new'ish cars have orange peel on most panels you will find.

Cat - It dosnt have the noise or the looks of the Vee, but handling wise its 100 times better. Currently on 30mm ABP springs and the fast road setup (camber front and rear adjusted) He says it perfoms better than the vee but then again the vee only had 9k miles on it!

Excellent turn around on the paint work mate !

Well worth the effort, looks stunning

Very nice and very mirror-like considering how sh*t standard Honda paint finish is, orange peel all over the shop.
