Yeah HMT continues to invade Europe haha. Got some Dutch boys on here, but think your one of the first from the UK.
Spent a few days in London last summer, had fun, saw some nice UK CRX's :) and my first live-in-person Mclaren F1. Funny thing to, it was a tiny little shop in London; just enough room for an F1 and a hot chick behind a small desk.

Welcome to HMT

Your right about it looking a bit BMW. Rover was owned by them for about 4 years. They bought the company too split it up. They more than doubled their money back by selling Range Rover to Ford ??? . Heres a few more pics for now.
The BMW front

I am interested to know if anyone has air syspension fitted to their Civic with the double wishbone type front syspension.

Again...welcome to HMT!
Your car looks awesome what all have you done to it or are you waiting for warranty to expire to do everything

Re:Introduction from the UK
 
I'm collecting parts for when the warranty ends. First will be a set of adjustable spring platforms for the shockers. Then some bigger brakes. When i've got it to stop good the motor is getting blown. Not sure if it will be turbo or supercharger. If its supercharger it will be one of the VW type G chargers. They act more like a turbo giving more boost with more revs.
As for the bodywork I like the way it looks now but I may add some darker tints to the windows.

In this pic the fronts look like jaguar x-types, more on the blue one.
