Love the pics! I was lucky that the interior lights on mine had been done by the previous owner,so much better aren't they.
Badges have certainly brightened up the look,only small things but make a difference.I have the red 'H' front and back as well on mine,though the front one is just starting to show some delamination round the edges.My Euro R ones are fairly okay,I haven't put the rear one back on yet since the decals went on,can't make my mind up whether to reinstate it or not.
If you keep the car for longer,which hopefully you will,the TPW map will bring a new lease of life into how the car drives,whether normal road use or when you're able to give it some 'pedal' under the right circumstances.I took mine to the Prescott Hillclimb on Sunday,drove brilliantly.I've updated my thread if you fancy a look.But yeah,you do have to prioritise certain car work,nothing is free unfortunately.
Sounds like you're still enjoying the car though,I've had mine since 2020 and no plans to change,I can't think of another N/A car with 4 doors and the mix of practical and fun factor that I would want to replace it with personally speaking to be honest, so its going nowhere!
Forgot to ask,where did you get the badges in the end,reasonably priced? I know the red 'H' ones are a bit steep for genuine ones.

Thanks mate.

I've considered the red badges myself, including steering wheel; what are they like to swap over, specifically the front one? And are they universal in size?

TPW remap is still top of the list in terms of spendy mods. £500 is very good value I think but it's still a fair chunk of cash. And yeah, I've been reading your updates, car sounded mega at the hill climb.

If I can find a really nice CW FK2 next year then I might be tempted to swap, but really enjoying the car at the moment. Need to get another proper multi-day road trip sorted.

The Accord badge was brand new and still in original packaging but was just bought off a randomer on eBay who must have just had it lying around so it was cheap. The Euro R one I bought from Tegiwa and was about £35. I could do with one for the front as well to be honest, it's a bit tarnished but hasn't fallen off yet.

I've had mine 5 years. Unfortunately don't use it as much as I'd like due to life. Can't see me parting with it anytime soon.

The red H badges were already on the car as well laugh so I can't really say how easy they are to replace,I'd have to see a new one to ascertain if its a dental floss job to remove the old ones and that the new ones are an adhesive fit.Guessing the rear is stuck on,don't know if the front grille recess has a couple of little screws or push clips or not.
