Slight update, as it has been many months. I decided not to get the respray, as a significant period of detailing has brought the car up brilliantly, so I can scratch that expensive option off my list of things to do. Also due to a over zealous power wash, I had to purchase new Type R stickers on the side. Dave at Steels Honda was efficient as ever.
I am currently at a crossroads with the car at the moment. As much as I want to keep it forever, it does have a significant lack of use - less than 2000 miles last year. The option of selling (again) is something I do not really want to do, but if an enthusiast offers me a decent price, then I will probably relent. I would sooner the car goes to someone who will look after it, but use it for what it was made for. If you are interested, or indeed know someone who might just be, please PM me and let me know. That said, I am not letting it go for a song - serious offers only. And no, I will not split any parts. If it goes, it will go as it is.
Reason for these thoughts is that I am awaiting my arrival in Mar 15 of a BMW 335d M Sport Touring (X Drive). With the AC Schnitzer tuning installed, its going to be circa 370bhp. In a diesel. I really do think in my opinion that this could be the ultimate all rounder, hence the Teg will be used even less. Plus another house purchase is impending, which is never cheap.
I will no doubt forget all this and keep the car, as it costs me nothing and I can happily just look at it every time I am back in the UK. But as described above, if anyone is interested in an immaculate DC5 then let me know. I will negotiate price via PM only.
