The DC5 hunt begins...

[PORTHOS]

Well, It's been a whole 6 months since I decided I was going to buy a DC5 and what a looooong wait it has been! but I can now say I am well and truly ready to take the jump.

Insurance has been changed to accommodate the switch to a Japanese Import, Private Registration is in the post and all I have to do now is put my Fiesta up for sale or part ex if needs be 8)

I was also sad enough to get two of these designed and printed up to cover my registration when taking pics or at shows

These Will be trimmed and mounted to size when I get the plates through.

Arctic Blue DC5, Mmm, watch this space! ...

I'm so excited! I think I just wet me pants :lol:

I made the same transition....bought the ZS as a cheap interim car whilst saving for the wedding and was truly shocked by how great a car it was..once it had some Eagle F1's on it became even better..I also used ZSOC but rarely posted much

 

[Mark_teg]

I also had zs. Great fun. A very popular 'starting out' car it seems?!
I too used zsoc, also rarely posting. Went to a few meets though.

 

[Dark Blue Mark]

You just missed out on the best one!

Mine was a nice arctic blue... Now gone to a new home.

Where did you get the plate stickers printed, they are great and how much?

Well, they are just normal Photo prints through Jessops which I will glue onto a template. I traced the Integra Type-R logo myself from a desktop picture (I'm a Graphic Designer by profession)

So I guess you can get them printed where you like as long as you have the original files...

Go here, Click on the images and download them both They need to be printed at 15" x 10" so they will be to scale. They have crop marks too.... but It's probably more accurate if you just trace round the numberplate for a more accurate fit when you stick them onto some card or something..... I'm guessing you could get stickers made up too? but I just went for the glossy photo route because the quality is just superb.

Want to import the DC5 myself!

Hello I am new to the game and i want to know would it be worth my while in importing the DC5 Type R myself?

Could you give me any information or should i just buy from an English dealer?

Hi mate,

There are plenty of importers on here that will do it for you. Andy (200bhp cars) has a great rep.

Check out the cars for sale sections

IMO importing yourself is a PITA!
