Could be a really good project, it might be an 08 plate but from the wheels and the seats it looks like a MY07. That's no bad thing as it got all the good stuff that the newer cars came with minus the failing engines.
What are the plans for the interior? With the Blue seats and carpets I guess it will work OK with white body but what kind of white GPW is OK but there are some very cool metal flake or pearl whites out there.

i've always loved the Pearl White found on the JDM Prelude Type S - probably the best Honda colour
or even the Electron Blue Pearl from the Civic VTi 99-00
don't do vinyl wrap - I've seen some proper botch ups recently

i live in north wales and picked the car up from bristol so no chance of any more attacks on it. drove the car back is mechanicly sound came with all books and wallet and service book. have got me eyes open for black or red carpets and black seats but will run around with the blue seats and carpets for now. having the windoes tinted so no one will see that they are blue 
will let everyone guess at how much i got it for
has done 15,000 miles 2008 08
its going audi bianca white
with the wheels goin satin black for now see how they look when they are done
all rubbers and plastics were ok, just need a drivers rear light and drivers from light as there are a few dribbles of stripper on it

White wheels on a white car look stunning. Black wheels will look cheap IMO. I'm preparing to be flamed!!!

wrapping a car still needs the paintwork to be spot on underneath or it will show lines and marks through the wrap, so it will need paint either way but i have seen some very good wraps and very poor ones i have a half wrap on my van which is fine the lads that did it have a great rep and alot can be down to quality of the materials 3M are one of the best as they seem to be for everything but along with a price
