Finally time to start on a proper thread for all my stuff rather than throwing it all over the place.
I bought my car in May 2021 on just over 15,000 miles. It's a 2017 UK/Euro Spec Sport Plus Hatchback. This trim entails pretty much all the options aside from leather seats and chrome trim (Neither of which I want so bonus!). This includes the full sensing package with front and rear parking sensors and blind spot monitoring.
The colour is Polished Metal Metalic (NH737M)
The car the day I purchased:
In the first few weeks I only did a handful of cosmetic mods, this included a set of stamped metal reg plates and smoked side markers (One of my OEM ones was entirely flooded and rusted out anyway). I also threw in LEDs everywhere that didn't already have them and got Honda Hack on the head unit (mainly to get rid of the endlessly annoying popup on start). Aside from this I didn't do a whole lot of anything while I settled into the car. Did some odd jobs like transferring over my dashcam from my old car also. The car had been Honda serviced up until I purchased it but I could not justify the cost when it's such an easy car to work on and opted to service it myself when the time came and have been doing so since. I plan to keep the car for the long haul so I am not bothered by the lack of service history hurting value.
Next was tuning! I purchased a Ktuner V1.2 and ran on one of the basemaps for a short while before picking up TSP Stage 1, The car has been tuned most of the time I've owned it. Absolutely transforms the car and cemented the fact that I will happily keep this car long term. With a tune it gives me exactly the amount of power I want in a daily.
After tuning I didn't really do anything major for a while. I did order and fit the OEM Honda spacesaver spare and raised boot floor as I really do not like driving a car with no kind of spare. I also picked up the OEM mudguards and fitted those, the instructions for the sport call for cutting into the bumper but it felt plenty secure without doing that so I did not bother.
The car as it stands:
