LOL
The thermostat housing is made of plastic and it has split in half over time. That is only a few £ to fix tbh. The wanker in the Audi has given me a headache though.

The Kalos will be up for sale soon. Just need to replace the wing mirror and then it will be going. Being taxed at the end of the month and then I am going to be looking at as close to £1500 as possible.
Car is going in favour of most likely an EP3 Type R.

Ideally white but they are hard to come by, if not white then I would like red, but then I will not be shunning a mint low mileage one because of its colour.
It seems like most are either red, silver or black.

I would go for Either Red or Black. Probs Black as it looks epic when polished up.
I'd dodge Silver as when panels fade, you're chasing it and its never ending as im having that now.

black brett..they wear their mods far better than any colour bar white
red fades as said, silver suits very few cars...but silver will be a chunk cheaper then any other

Also Brett, you won't get white unless it's an import or someone has resprayed it.
You going for pre facelift or facelift?

Depending on how you look at it, either a lot or nothing..
Differences, nicked straight from CTRO:
Quote:
The facelift model was introduced in 2004. There are roughly 1500 changes, however the main ones are:
Lighter flywheel.
Additional sound deadening.
Different front and rear light clusters.
Different front bumper and grille, and the red H badge is larger.
Red door inserts and red inserts on the seats.

Pre-facelift:
Facelift:

You really do know fuck all about paint. The reason you are having trouble with your paint because you have a French car that used any old shite they had left to paint the car. The difference is if you ring honda up with a chassis number they will give you the exact colour code and shade of the car. Also black and the red fade more on the ctr than the satin silver.

Based on that I'm not really worries wether facelift or not, they all look smart or can be made to do so.

Facelift or nothing - front bumper etc is so much nicer. Still looks good where the pre-facelift looks dated.
