Hi Guys and Gals I am new to this forum so just thought I would say hi :wave: . I have purchased the 2005 Honda Accord Euro Luxury in Artic Blue Pearl a manual version. I have also purchased the full body kit, reversing sensors, mats, mp3 player and darkest legal tint (I pick the car up in early January). A few other extras I have also puchased so far are the Comptech Ice Box, Comptech Shortshifter, OEM (USA) Sunroof deflector and a Mugen Grille.

I am in New Zealand at the moment on holidays and went to a Honda dealer to check the cars here and to show my family the new car and was surprised they have more options here than back home in Australia (not sure why) ie a Mugen version Accord Euro with an mugen exhaust (mind you the exhaust is very expensive ($3800 NZ) and body kit.

Some of the options which I am getting whilst here is the door protection strips (OEM Honda) which cost $285 NZ (why aren't these available is Aus I wonder except after market units not OEM). They also offer a OEM Speaker upgrade kit which increases the Speaker wattage to 150W ($300 NZ), which I am thinking about BTW does anyone know what the ones we have in Aus are before I get them (I rang my honda dealer and he has no Specs). I am also looking at getting a Comptech Exhaust system which is $1500 AUS delivered approx some time in the New Year.

Do you Melbourne guys have meets. Anyway look forward to maybe meeting some of you. Hope you had a great Xmas and all the best for the New Year.

Hey, welcome to ozhonda!

My mum drives a Euro, bloody nice car to drive i reckon, although ours isnt a luxury pack :(

Anyway's apparently there is a new luxury pack being released with 17inch rims from the factory and some different trims etc. Is yours that "new" model or the current luxury pack?

Where are you in NZ?

Welcome by the way!

Congrats on ur new car...

Its nice to get more and more new euro owners that are willing to mod their rides...

Please do take pics of ur euro...

It just proves to u how gay Honda Australia is when they don't want to put performance parts as options in their dealers...

Sure will take pictures when I get it. No problems. If you want a source for some of the parts I have bought I have a few suggestions for some parts I have found, also a very helpful Honda New Zealand Spare parts man who gave me the side protectors and OEM Speakers (200 watt) for trade.
