got myself a coupe

Lovely looking coupe Luke, I'm actually doing the very same thing myself at the moment. Have had 6 type r's in the past but very hard to get a good 1 these days so I bought a mint 1.5 coupe the same as yours and then I bought a version 5 type ra v-limited as a donor. I stripped the car to a bare she'll though and had it fully repainted, engine bay and all. Sand blasted all the suspension etc. a lot of work but well worth it. Also have a fully refurbed set of 17" speedline st2's to go on it that I purchased from your good self

They look well... Colour looks right for Speedline gold... Who did them...?
 
Got the paint from wheelpaints.co.uk which they claim is proper speedline gold and to be fair, looks right. Sand blasted them myself and got the same lad that painted my car to paint them. He's 1 of the best I've ever seen and we see a lot of freshly painted cars inside and out as we build rally cars for a living
