I actually can\'t bring myself to sell this car

Then don\'t. Insure it on a limited mileage policy for as little as you can get it.

Thought I\'d tidy up the mangled mess of wires in the car at the moment so sorted out the gauge/radio arrangement. Still need to sort my wiring issue out as it looks like the entire radio loom has been pikey\'d together in the past...there are two aerial connections!? :S

Anyway, got everything slotted in, still need to wire up the gauges. I put them in the lower position so I can use a radio with a pop-up screen (something I\'ve wanted for ages).

Still in two minds about putting this up for sale...anyone got any gangster wheels that would tempt me otherwise?

I\'m sure you can find some nice rims on the old DW. you shouldn\'t sell it if you don\'t have to, good job with the cd player! Some stool has cut all the wires in my centre console so I have no clue how to get it working

Yeah...I\'ll see what happens anyway. I got bored today and test drove a brand new Golf as I was passing the VE garage...it was pretty good but then I fired up the FC when I got home and it felt good to be able to feel everything vibrating through the steering wheel!

Aw man that sucks!

Put a photoshop request on a Civic forum earlier regarding wheels and I suggested RPF1s as a starting point. Obviously the colour\'s wrong (I\'d rather have silver) but they look pretty good I reckon.

They are okay, you need dish mate! Try and get some image rims or something and refurb them yourself? Lots of people sell dished stuff on DW, ask DtheB he will inform you that dish is the law on the FC! He is understandably very passionate about the subject and it\'s rubbed off on me.

Conclusion = Dish
Result = uber coolness
Failure = punishable by death (or a standard looking FC)
Summary = Dish or Die (I guess)

:Giggle

In serious note though, it\'s your car so stick what you think looks good on it. I\'d defo stick clear of yellow though

Dish would be cool...maybe some Ultralite Nurburging rings or whatever they\'re called.

Haha don\'t worry the yellow was never a consideration...they look good in silver though:

You considered White? I\'ve seen some nice White rimmed red cars, photoshop it let\'s see!

ali303 · October 09, 2011, 11:47:21 PM

I considered some white Rota Attacks, thought they\'d look pretty cool. Although to be honest, I think white might look a little tacky compared to the silver.

B.Martin · October 10, 2011, 08:21:31 AM

I\'m not sure, as long as they are kept clean they will look okay. They could clash with the black splitter though, however have you considered black rims they should fit perfectly with your colour scheme.

Not rota attacks, they look boring/nasty IMO!

The torques are a much nicer looking wheel IMO. Concave is good.

Ah yeah I meant Torques, Attacks are pretty gay!
