You see, I was chatting to Mr Stylz earlier today (about many things) and one of the topics was wheels. We both concluded that single piece rims are very much on the up right now.
Everyone loves splits/3pc rims, but it seems people are turning back to single piece wheels in order to make a refreshing change from what's almost become 'expected' on a car like this.
The wheel choice here is beautiful. They are like a nice set of BBS splits, but without the distraction of all those bolts which can make them look a bit fussy on a clean car.
This really works very, very well. Lovely car.
It's also funny that I was chatting to Craig (1010cc) a week or so ago about how much love I have for the Civic 4dr saloons. Within minutes of mentioning it, we spotted two of the things, both mint and both 100% stock. It didn't help my want for one.....and this thread certainly isn't helping either!
Nice one Will....keep em coming ;D

I like that, I'd black the badges on the back to match the front though.
Is that some kind of upper body brace between the rear upper seatbelt mounts?

I really should have perservered with my 'loon, but it p!ssed me off several times in short succession, so off to the scrappers it went.

That's my kind of retro car! Looks like something you could actually use too. OK it's low but the offset and tyre choice seems pretty sensible.

I love that shape Civic, they appear low even when they're standard. I spotted one in Scotland that was nearly identical to that apart from it was silver.

Yup that will be a c pillar brace, they do them for a whole range of civics for about £40 and that is all kinds of win, i would roll that as it is wouldn't change a thing |

Yup.. that Saab and the Honda show that gunmetal grey tones and some nice shiny wheels are always a good mix  |

Not a fan of the 2-tone but the Accord looks so amazing-unexpected with the pop-up lights & 4-door.
Civic doesn't seem right with cheap basic US spec unpainted bumpers & frt indicators, love the full red tail lights though.

I would nearly drive that civic, as it's actually pretty cool and they're a nice shape. THat one is also totally different to the ones that the morons in caps and tracksuits over here drive (almost everyone who drives a modified civic, or any modified honda over here seems to be our version of a chav and they have a really terrible image and are massively loaded for insurance as well as getting a lot of police attention). However, onb my wishlist there still sits the notion of a DA integra with a diesel engine, lots of mud all over it and a cattle trailer behind it, so that i can pull into a honda meet and offer them some livestock or vegetable for sale and see how they react  |

Very much OOOOf but saddening at the same time for me as i've tried but failed in a bid to make my old civics look like this (vaguely)but been foiled by the dreaded tinworm because of our climate.
The wheels though.... stunning, absolutely stunning, single piece all the way for me.
