Building a FAKE Type R!?
Can we turn our boring FK7 Civic into a full-blown FK8 Type R replica that will trick even the sharpest Type R owners in the UK?!
We picked up an FK7 to fulfil family car duties but quickly got tired of driving around a regular Civic. As a Type R specialist, we knew exactly what we had to do and it didn't take long for us to embark on a huge transformation, turning our run of the mill Civic into it's a replica of it's bigger and faster brother, the FK8 Civic Type R.
After completing the transformation, we decided to put our FK8 clone through the ULTIMATE test! Could we sneak it into a Type R owners meet?

    Nice work, something about white wheels just gets my juices flowing....and you kind Sir, never have to worry about having to stretch a 265 centimeters wide tire to fit over a 10 J wide wheel as 10 J is 10 inch and equals 254 centimeters...you would actually have to worry the other way around, if the tire is not to wide for the wheel you see....

    Hello Dream Automotive. I wanted to ask, I have 20mm spacers in the back, I wanted to install an HR shock absorber and I have a 245 34 19 wheel, the original rim from the FK2. Would I need to install the wheel in the mudguard at the back?

    Its okay. You don't have to pretend the roof spoiler wouldn't come off. You can say you just liked it xDD. My FK7 came with that as well. Wasn't too jazzed about it but it started growing on me. Don't see too much of that in my areas. Seeing all those FK8s together makes me wish I sucked it up and forked over for a Type R when I bought my car but I am more than pleased with my FK7.
