The "what have you done to your DC5 this weekend" thread

[opulent]

Not really the weekend but this come on Monday! Taken advantage of spoons FB discount.

Fitted with 2 hours of having as it was my day off work and could get some time on a friends car lift...

Think it looks amazing, gone on easy. I was expecting it to be louder but I'm with the noise, just enough to make the car sound meaty..


I also had a puncher Sunday night on a front tyre that was annoying!
Thought rather then getting it repair and knowing the fronts need replacing soon I just decided to bite the bullet and get new tyres all together...

lol... how can you even think about comparing a DC5 to a McLaren P1 xrofl

HYBRID just kicked in YO!!!

 

[samwelltrademarked]

With Hondas lack of torque, the battery alone on the p1 would probably munch most 5's... How many aa's to get the required boost..... I have an idea!

That's what the picture was doing not me haha, I know the DC5 is a worse than tiny piece of turd compared to a P1

This happened yesterday.

Rarely take it to work, I do, and this happens. No idea who it was, car next to me was guy at work, who's got a nice vxr. So he's quite careful.
Looks like someone's walked past and caught it, there's a clean contact patch around it.

Ho hum.

 

[TyperItr]

Looks like a zip from a pocket or something caught it xthumbsdown

Fitted a Bluetooth receiver for my stereo, simple mod. Super useful!

Will be hard wiring it into the fag lighter on the weekend so the cables are hidden behind the Centre console so it's neater.

Spent about an hour this evening tidying up my lenses a bit. They were horrendously cloudy so I thought it was about time I got to work on them.

Before:

After:

Used the Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit. I've used it before but only the polish and it brought them up quite nicely, but they turned cloudy again within a month or two. This time I took to wet sanding them before using the polish, and it really has worked a treat! About 20 to 30 minutes work on each headlight this evening to get them back to that condition. Might have another shot at the weekend just to get the last couple of marks out!

Wow, this is an excellent example of how much difference it can make when you do it the right way, top job mate!

So I received this bit of JDM goodness from Rom on here.

Mugen TwinLoop Cat Back Exhaust, couldn't believe how good condition it was in - not a mark or scratch on the bpipe and the boxes are nice and shiny.



And a couple of hours later



Fitting this weekend.

Not exactly the weekend (when does it officially start) but came home from my final Afghanistan tour and decided to give all the cars some loving. Honda fully serviced, had a paintless repair specialist to come out and sort out all the minor dings that only sad people like me can see, and then a full clean. Now need to learn detailing. And to learn there are other colours you can get cars.

And to learn there are other colours you can get cars.

Yeah, but why would you want a car that isn't white? It just looks too good! Nice collection you've got there pal

I feel your pain, I have a big scratch and dent in my drivers side door and that was from parking at work (although I don't think it was one of our workers as it looks like a delivery driver has it with something). I just wish people would have the decency to own up to it.

[SmithyDC5]
