the next stage is to obviously lower it, get a front lip kit and oracle angel eyes. then it will be ballin'

I also bought arctic blue bulbs to replace the rear license plate lights but its impossible to remove the light. i used a flat head to wedge out one side, but the other side is stuck and it feels like it will snap if im too forceful with it. does anyone know how to replace the rear plate lights on a euro please?

[power_of_dreams]

replace them the way you are trying now.
you have to pry out the small trim where the boot open button is.
if it snaps, hard luck!

[boneyards]

so i should just use a little more force? how exactly do i remove the trim where the boot open button is. i think i know wot area you are talking about but it doesnt look like it can be removed unless u take out the tail lights

[Ken-f]

Look in ur manual. The instruction is there. I did it, i had to use a bit of force to get the trim out, esp coz my number plate protector was in the way and i cbb taking it off. Got it off in the end.

[power_of_dreams]

yes, i followed the manual.
you might need to take off your number plate

[boneyards]

thanks guys. can the stock euro head unit play burnt cd's? obviously im a noob haha

yeah, they can but there's a thread around here (if memory serves me right) is that some brands work better than others.

search for it maybe?

Don't use adhesive labels on the CD's.

[albii]

Dude..you didn't just paint those wheels black did you? Someone would have given you a fair bit of money for those wheels as they are sort after,just not in black.

[Terrano08]

Hey,
you can chane the globes my removing the boot rim, its just a few clips, ang get them from behind

[Min988]

Home job black rims was a costly mistake, they are hot in silver.

Yes, don't use labels. gold CD-Rs are the best. I use some old Ricoh gold 32x ones. I also use Verbatim 10x CD-RW and those work as well.

Haha, even if he did sell those rims, he'd get 800 or so for it, which is what us tightarses would pay (at most) and he would still be out of pocket if he gets aftermarket rims.

As long as he is happy with it. :thumbsup:

[EURO1dr]

Boneyards, let us know what your decision is i.e. choice of springs/coilovers and cost as I am planning to lower my euro too! Thinking of Eibach pro-kit at the moment.

[RiceMeister]

i would have been very keen for those euro sport wheels!

look decent in black i reckon...nice change from the usual silver.

nice start mate!

[tony1234]

Should've painted them same colour as Euro R rims.

[boneyards]

i guess everyone has different opinions that's cool but yea i prefer them in black i think they look better. i wasn't planning on selling the rims because i cant even afford new ones so i just decided to paint them to save me having to buy a new set. the rims had a few rashes on them so i doubt i could of sold it for a decent price anyway.

about lowering, i was thinking of just going to tech 9 in perth and getting a quote from them. my friend dumped his car the other day for about $400 with pedders springs.

oh, and does anyone know where i can buy a front lip in perth for a decent price?

[dtngo]

hey mate, I DIY'd my Euro Sport rims grey/black too. Looks much better than silver IMO, and different to the other 1000 Euros with the stock rims. The guy I bought mine off sprayed them DIY white, so I sanded them back and puttied up the gutter rashes while I was at it.

Mine is silver too with the OEM kit. I thought I'd be the only one. At least you're in WA haha! Looks hot IMO... obviously not biased at all :cool:

[EuroAccord13]

You can get to the rear license plate bulbs through the boot... remove the lining and you'll be able to get to the bulbs....

I burn my CD-R at 10x and burn the CD-RW at 4x. The brand and quality is more important than the burn speed. But yeah, makes no sense burning at 52x. lol
