hey, I'm Charlie and I'm from Felixstowe Suffolk. I drive a Honda Concerto 1.4 GL, it's a London car so slightly bashed bumpers but in very good order, was on 45,000mls when I got it in august (end of august) it is now on 54,000mls I've tried to take my time with the mods and I like the direction it's going so far, wheels are next on the agenda looking for 8x15's ET 10 (as I tried my mates and they were perfect fit, maybe 7x15 on front or smaller tyres). anyway, here are some pictures of Ronda
With my friend Craig's Shuttle:
I got fed up of the noise from my aerobars roofrack, so made a deflector out of a skateboard, sits nicely between the bike racks that I use a lot
padded while fitting
Coming back from the last South mimms Honda meet to be at south mimms
Mates golf and my Concerto
MOT time, all passed
then toys
Tried my mates wheels on, love it, wheel search
out with the kids
anyway that's my car atm

thinking of making a mild bosozku exhaust for it, as the one on here is aids and is like a droopy penis, no use at all.

love the deflector out of a skateboard idea yeah, had enough of the noise the rack made, and need the rack for when I have my bike up there, I noticed that of I interrupt the airflow over the bars with my hand out the sunroof, it all shut up, so I bought the Skateboard Brand new for £10 off a neighbour, took the trucks off and bolted it up there to the bike racks...
glued some foam to bottom to protect the roof

Those wheels look surprisingly good.

I agree with Qwerty the wheels look surprisingly good, looks like the big slab sided thing you'd see on one of those obscenely low Brazilian cars. Anyway I came really close to buying a Concerto and (R8 shape) Rover 200 a few times, but sadly all the ones I've looked at were dogs, I genuinely love the styling of these. They can look awesome. Keep up the good work with yours

replace with Honda if you can - make them look more OEM.

not a lot else will happen to the look of it, will try a splitter, and when the low mileage engine goes pop it'll get up graded to either D16 or B series

Nice to see it still going strong after all these years after we built them.

to be fair you Guys had to build the concertos with 100% parts no reworking etc, these should be the best thing out of longbridge, mine did 2,000mls a year until I got it in august 2013 at 45,000ml, now it's at over 55,000ml serviced and modified and going strong
