Looks so much better 👍🏽

Some people should never be let loose with an aerosol.

Looks great, have just got a black one myself after my red type s bit the dust last year.😢

The fitment on those wheels is NICE!

​@@GrooveOn Haha nice one. The offset is perfect. I have a mk8 type s diesel with wider than normal 18s and more negative offset than standard but nowhere near as much as yours. Im getting serious mk2 fiesta xr2 vibes from your car (I know how stupid that sounds lol).

Thanks x !

Looks great on the black car, I done my civic its silver and the satin black just doesn't look right against the silver, too much of a contrast.

looks bad ass

I own the same honda civic in Red , the bumper trims are grey , not black , always thought that's how it should look , had no idea they are faded . Baught the car a year ago, by the way

Have a 2007 Honda Civic Type S GT in Milano Red, the trim was definitely grey on the red's.

What did you use to black out the center of the rear lights? Is it just a vinyl?

@GrooveOn

It was black vinyl, I bought it on eBay

Did it not peel off without using primer? And how many cans did you use for the 3 coats, please?

Hi it's been over a year and it's looking great. The paint is a special self priming plastic paint, I used 2.5 cans

That came out really well! These textured plastic bits on cars are an absolute nightmare to keep looking good, down here in south of France the plastic bits look awful a week after cleaning and treating, I have the same problem with the plastic/powder coated rails on my Defender, I though you had to use a special etch primer to get the adhesion on plastic? Thanks for posting this! CHris B.

You do need an etch primer with normal paint, however the paint I used goes straight on the plastic!

can you tell me what rims are those and what size is the wheel please? looks really good!!

They are actually Mercedes vi brabus monoblock, I changed the spigot hub ring. They are staggered 9.5J rears 255 x 35 x 18" and 8.5J fronts, 225 x 40 X 18" they just fit!

Just wondering about your wheels mate, where can I find some like those and did you use spacers?

They are Mercedes Brabus VI replicas, I fitted a spigot ring on hub about 1mm to convert Mercedes 66.6mm bore down to Honda, no spacers needed just fitted on nice kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXmol5KBc6jTgag.html

Great video. I am guessing it isn't just me who loves the Civic mark 8? Mine is painted in a light gold colour - I have never seen another one like it. For the trims I used to use liquid black boot polish, but I think next time they fade I will be using black vinyl paint like you have. Thanks for the video. It's really useful.

@@GrooveOn I think that's what I will do then! There was another video which shows someone using a blowtorch to get the faded plastic back to black. Thanks for the video and I'm glad it's worked OK. Your civic looks great.

Do you think you could install a front lip splitter on the car? Or would it not suit the car
