So Clean! Fresh badges on the Type R

[@cheekysod2]

This was very helpful. I recently bought an fn2 but the previous owner put ali express ones on which are flaking and the wrong colour.

[@ivanreed-qj7uz]

Hi Lewis..love your type r....watch all your videos...so nice to see someone keeping and improving their car...keep up the good work !

[@FNLEW]

Thank you so much Ivan that really means a lot ☺️

[@MisterHughes]

I went to see right shed before I found my FN2, and someone had just stuck a new badge on top of the old one, it was crooked too. Looked awesome! :D

[@FNLEW]

Haha talk about red flags ey mate 😂

[@PaulGallon]

Wonder if it was the one I bought. I've just bought one with black badges stuck on top of the old ones. 😅

[@BurtonTommyBoy]

Great video mate - thanks for the tips 👍🏻 Get rid of the sound deadening on the inside of the bonnet…will tidy it up and you’ll hear the intake better.

[@FNLEW]

Thanks mate. Yeah I probably should at some point 😂

[@fn2_gr]

Awesome, thanks for the video! Nice to see the comparison between genuine and fake... I thought I'd bought genuine but I do have fakes by the looks of it. They still look fine though. I tried flossing my badges today but gave up too quickly, will try your technique with the knife/trim removal tool. 👍🏻

[@FNLEW]

No problem at all mate. Good luck with it! 👍🏻

[@TherealWottie]

I got some knock off centre hub caps for mine... looks banging and no scratches! 😂

[@revolutionridesdetailing-p9513]

Keep them coming mate 👍 Touches like new badges make all the difference 😎

[@FNLEW]

Will do mate. Definitely agree 👍🏻

[@daveeveritt3305]

Went to Cox Motorparts and asked about a genuine rear H badge (as my chrome is flaking) and they replied "Thank you for getting in touch with us. Unfortunately it looks like this badge only comes complete with the rear light unit it seems!" I've a picture out of the Honda parts manual, but can't attach it here. Thoughts ?

[@FNLEW]

Is your model a type R or a type s? I will say it's not listed as a rear badge. It's listed as a front one but a friend that worked for honda for years informed me that the front and back are the same badge so just buy the front one and it will fit fine.

[@JA-wy1zv]

Sound job mate , mine is looking tatty too! I'll get my order and tidy it up and slap on a vinyl wrap at the same time. I'm so caught up in tuning at the mo lol, does you're motor have the FD2 Balancer shaft delete? This is my next mod. Already wacked on a teigwa catback, LSD and ECUTEK remap and it's running brilliantly but I desire more lol

[@FNLEW]

Thank you mate. No I don't have that modification. Oh nice mate keep it up 👍🏻

[@jjsx5347]

Hey mate, can u please shed some light on something for me? To your knowledge, what's the biggest battery you can fit in an FN2 WITHOUT relocating the whole thing to where the stock intake would be? If that makes sense. I've looked up some options in my country (I don't live in UK) and found some 60Ah and 65Ah Exide's and thought I hit the jackpot but then I remembered the stock battery is so tightly thrown in there and I don't even know the dimensions, my car is in the shop right now. So whatcha think, am I stuck with 45/48 Ah for life or what? Note: I do not want to relocate to trunk or any other place, Thanks so much in advance! Cheers!

[@FNLEW]

Hi mate, unfortunately I have no knowledge about this. What I do know is the where the battery is fitted it fits EXACTLY in it's destination. So I don't think there'd be room there for a bigger one. But that's just my opinion.

[@jjsx5347]

@@FNLEW Really the only variable that doesn't let me sleep right now is the width of the whole space where the battery goes. I've seen a couple of sites suggesting 129 mm is max, while others found batteries compatible at 173 mm width. 4.4 centimeters is a hell of a difference. Any thoughts? Since I'm not able to measure on my car right now...

[@FNLEW]

@@jjsx5347 I honestly don't know. I only bought a replacement battery from my local automotive parts shop. I gave them my reg and they gave me a battery.

[@stefanlazarevic2159]

Sorry m8, lamps from rear is it the same from civic 5 door ? :-)

[@FNLEW]

Lamps as in rear lights? If so then no they're slightly different.

[@asriny.1545]

Nice video ✌ i have the replica badge and i have a type s middlething but the H is at the outside

[@FNLEW]

Thanks mate. Oh really 🤔 👍🏻

[@asriny.1545]

@@FNLEW yes the later model fn's have diffirent tail lights

[@2wfit]

Loving the vids bro. Any recommendations for a decent knock off badge? Don't want to buy a total dud!

[@FNLEW]

Thank you mate. All I can think of is ebay and check the reviews.

[@2wfit]

Just putting mine on now.. Came back to this vid to double check 😂

[@mugglescience360]

How's that rear badge holding out after 2 years mate?

[@FNLEW]

Absolutely horrifically mate. Filled with moisture and fell to bits. I replaced it with a genuine one.

[@hugoclemente5005]

Nice video and tips 👌👍

[@FNLEW]

Thanks, no problem 👍🏻

[@johndavies4644]

Drill it carefully, use a right angled pick and pull it.

[@Haseeb_0987]

Hope your well mate nice video them badges definitely made a difference one game I'd recommend is forza horizon 4

[@FNLEW]

Thank you mate I think so too. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻

[@blade8768]

Awesome job that, only you notice the little missed details I find when it's your own car, everyone else wouldn't even notice, but it still drives you mad because you know it's there 🤣🤣 how many miles has the civic done so far bud?

[@stefanlazarevic2159]

can i put front oem badge for fn2 R back ?

[@FNLEW]

Yes

[@FNLEW]

Front and back are same

[@stefanlazarevic2159]

@@FNLEW thank you a lot, you have msg from me at the email m8 :)

[@FNLEW]

@@stefanlazarevic2159 just seen it. Lovely car 👍🏻

[@scooooott]

Good video 👍 Dirt Rally 2.0 would be a good shout 👍

[@FNLEW]

Cheers mate. I'll keep that in mind 👍🏻

[@cameronmitchell8441]

Hair dryer on badge then floss it

[@standoona3575]

That looks nice as owt bro please reply 👍

[@FNLEW]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@davidpekarek9942]

link for fake ono, please :O

[@FNLEW]

As stated mate it was gifted unfortunately.

[@saveourplanet6051]

When you used the screw driver you should have put a cloth at the bottom so you don’t mark the outer . As for getting the sticky backing off , use a hairdryer and the job will be done in 3 minutes! 👌🏻

[@FNLEW]

Don't worry I made sure I didn't mark it and by the time I got a hair dryer and an extension through my house I'd have finished it either way so I just stuck at it. 😂

[@mp5557600]

Headlights look like they need a refurb lol

[@FNLEW]

Indeed 😂

[@GirlsYouTube1991]

So yeah the fake badges for fn2 are better had a few of them and apt better and cheaper

[@FNLEW]

I wouldn't say better as the problem was my grill not the badge. And the chrome wasn't as perfect but definitely for the price they do the job 100%
