ste01, no worries. That could have saved us both a lot of time (and money!) but you have to keep yourself right. Good luck with the sale.

Jordan, it's actually the wheels that are discoloured. However, they appear to be original, and there's not a mark on them, so I'm in no hurry to refurb them. I bet the paintwork would start to look creamy if the wheels were sparkling white though.

just want to mention as its a face lift this seems to becoming quite common of recent
some are starting to leak on the passengers side behind the windscreen due to crack seem sealer.
check for damp patches behind the passenger sun visor after a good amount of water.

mine was imported in march and has only just started to leak. thankfully it only seems to be heavy rainfall and driving that allows the water to pass through.

as others have mentioned get the rear bumper off and waxoil the rear slam panel, replace the light seals,
you could treat yourself and get yourself a nice cold air intake for the vtec noise porn and either a fujitsubo or kakimoto regu06 cat back exhaust (subject to opinion) if you dont want an ear destroying drone when driving down the motorway at 80. The k20 benefits hugely from simple breathing mods like these

from personal experience i wouldn't bother with spoon lowering springs either, just go straight for decent coilovers get some adjustable camber arms and have the tracking dialed in.

I also had to replace 80% of my heater matrix center console bulbs for the heater dials, hazard button etc which part numbers can be found around the forum so this also may be worth looking into
