Adrian, I meant to ask about the paintjob on your front calipers, it is by far the best I have seen, how did you do it and what paint did you use?
(I suppose I am excluded from the gold star competition

Yeah Steven - i think you're excluded 
Noone is likely to get it anyway - theyre almost 10 years older than me! 
I think if i'd offered a discount off the car then people might make an effort
The calipers were surface cleaned and air-brushed with the standard pearlescent (mcbp) body paint. (and before anyone asks, no it wont burn off anymore than other paint I have a lot of experience with brakes and calipers, mainly from track prep cars (non-s2k's) and the disks are drilled because I find that it helps them cool a little better and it wont weaken them anymore than not drilling them and overheating them. Disks are cheap - whats the problem - chuck them in the bin & buy a new set. It is a 20 grand car in the end 
While Im babbling, the car also has a custom wind deflector, jbl speakers in the doors and a basic sony, single CD player - (cdx-4180 i think).

Nothing fancy - just a 25mm rotary wire brush like this one. Stops any change in surface texture that would occur with sandpaper etc & not as drastic as sandblasting.

Sorry M8TT J, I totally forgot to reply to your post.
Yes, the car is still under warranty (confirmed with honda today) and has more than a couple of months left on it - so more than enough time to sponge anything that you need off of honda.
