Yes sir! I did a 2 step paint correction. Had my buddy finish it with a ceramic coat (didn't want this to be my first car applying ceramic lol) I'll have to look those up, they are 3p vorsteiner 314's I can't seem to sell.

Those sizes are not available off the shelf so (like new Michelin PS4S 20 inchers) have to be fresh from the tire mould machine, but 5 months wait is a bit long

I'm definitely not happy about it especially since they have been paid for in full since then but I guess the waiting game better be worth it lol. When I initially placed the order it said in stock but only the fronts arrived unfortunately 🤦🏽‍♂️

Very nice Rick! I bought it with 32,700 miles about a year and a half ago and drove it home from new Mexico and been tinkering with it since I'm trying to keep it a low mileage but at the same time I want to enjoy it lol

Same here, we have a Civic 1.4S using that for doing errands locally and the M is used for longer journeys like to the coast.

Mine had its yearly safety inspection a month back together with an oil/filter change (supplying my own Castrol 0W40 oil) at the same time with my favourite dealer and all green ticks with the complementary Vehicle Health Check; not forgetting the all important service stamp in the book.
