This one? Dont know it but from looking at the pics id be looking at the boot floor inside/outside and the archs just in case the facelift rear bumper and lights were done for another reason. Could badly do with better pics imo. I know the silver one in Limerick though lol.

On another note, i thought you had one?

Honda do black ones too, I think they are CR/Type S ones. There used to be a company that did replica Type R wheels that did the correct taper coloured nuts too, dunno if they're still around though.

No its the one below, I prefer a standard look and the hard top is an added bonus.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sal...-s2000/7028994

I did a little off-roading a week ago in my own and despite only sustaining cosmetic damage, prices of parts etc mean the insurance company are calling it an uneconomical repair.
I've bought it back at the salvage price but am thinking it might make more sense to break or sell on to someone in the trade or who's handier with the spanners than I am.... which means I may be back in the market. A new baby means I'm a little undecided but its hard to find a 4 seater that offers the same smiles per €.
The one above has no NCT and has had a respray at some stage so just curious if anyone had any history on it.
Owner seems sound but buyer beware and all that and Cork is a days journey for me so just trying to do a bit more research. Will throw up a thread on backroads in the next few days looking for advice but if you know anyone looking for a fixer upper that has been lavished with new parts in the last 2 years, send em my way.


Just on the bolts question, I painted the oem wheels on mine and sourced black bolts from Hendy Honda in the UK, pricey though!

As I said the seller was a gent to deal with on the phone and he was good enough to text me and let me know it sold today so ignore the history questions.

If you hear of any others coming on the market, you might let me know but as I said considering all options now, may be a case of better the devil you know...

I think that you may have to go to America for something. Hardtop guy use to do them but has since changed name but not sure what he's trading under now. Could be worth a try...

Just to add folks due to the reasons below and me not having the skills or time to fix it up, I'm selling it on as is.
The damage really is not that bad, its starting and running fine but not driving due to suspension damage.
Theres a thread on backroads detailing the work done on the car during my ownership as well as the parts needed as it stands.
Open to offers and I can send on pics by email if anyone is interested, pm me the address on here or BR.

Cheers,

Mark
