I see what you mean. The chrome is nice with the blue, but on the side profile the door surrounds and mirror bottoms are black, so i'd be tempted to do the grille and the wing vents black to match. Maybe.

I know nothing about these... There's a newer shape that should be around the same price isn't there?
What's the specs on yours?
I shouldn't comment when I've paid over the odds for a 15 year old Subaru
Spent all day on this... Wash, clay, polish and wax. Not bad for it's age
Need to get a wheel refurb booked in though.

The CL7 is the newer shape, that has the 2.0 k20 type r engine and 6 speed box + lsd. Round about 220ps. It costs about £2k more on average. Though it's difficult to distinguish that it's a type r model. Looks very similar to the UK type s model.
This has the 2.2 h22 engine and 5 speed box + lsd. Round about 220ps.
Interiors don't vastly differ between the two. Same recaros, etc
It's an old car, but I've always been fond of the accord type r range.
Sunset Orange is a stunning colour in the flesh!
Same here, but I always blame Gran Turismo for making me like so much JDM. Totally forgot about the split between CH1 and CL1. I remember seeing a black CH1 daily, but haven't for sometime now.

I felt that the ch1 was a better set up chassis compared to the cl1. Felt more rigid.
Ch1s are getting very rare now, most have been broken for spares. The ones which do exist don't get used on a daily basis if at all. Great cars imo for their hey day.
Is that the legacy GT spec b? Only came across them a few months ago and fell in love since. Been keeping an eye out for the sti version sinceI know nothing about these... There's a newer shape that should be around the same price isn't there?

Yes mate. 2.0 Twinscroll.
Yeah I was looking for an STI model but they are rare /expensive
Yeah one came up on torque-gt a couple months ago but wasn't looking to buy back then.
Both would look good IMO - for me the silver kind of upholds the "premium" look and feel whereas black would make it look more purposeful. I guess the black would be more "correct" for the M badge ethos but I like the silver it gives a good balance.

I love the gt86, even if its slower than my MX5 
Nawp i do really like them, the GT86 is the practical version of my ND - both cars we dont see as much of these days.
