hi
i just had an accident with my car and unfortunately i only have third party insurance.
i wasnt able to afford comprehensive becuase im under 25 and it was fairly dear ...wish i had now though.....
anyways i tried a few places but no luck on parts...im in sydney by the way .. but i wouldnt mind knowing other states that sells the parts
i need airbags, front bumper and radiator
if anyone have any information on where abouts i can get these parts please let me know
thank you
no insurance? what were you thinking......if you could not afford it you should have bought a cheaper car...as for parts the nearest honda dealer should be able to help.Quote:

air bags wont be cheep :(
If you can't source any generic OEM front bumper, I suggest you buy a Mugen full front bumper. maybe cheaper than Honda OEM bumper.
Sorri to hear about ur accident...
I had a accident late last year with my euro...
It was pretty bad.. But my airbags didn't come out luckily... Well i live in Perth and even the paint/panel shop had to get parts from the Honda dealer which in turn had to get them from the eastern states...
Yeah the bumper & grill comes close to a $1000 so u might as well buy a aftermarket mugen front bumper... I hope ur A/C, front Lights, & Bonnet is okay...
I still have the price list for all the parts i had to get for my car... PM me if u would like to know how much oem parts cost...
hi there
yeah at the time third party was $600 and comprehensive was $2600 it's was such a big difference at the time. and because i really like the car i had to burow abit of money to buy it.....
i know the honda dealer can get parts but they are soo dear
so im trying to source out second hand parts...i called a melbourne wrecker and they said they just sold a front cut so badluck for me...
apparently my headlights are ok, but my bonnets abit dented...
"mugen front bar" where can i get one of these? and how much would this be? would you have a picture?
thank you all for replying so fast..much appreciated
ouch man sorry to hear.
must have been a decent hit to set off airbags.
As the car is so new, wreckers parts will be hard to come by.
Good luck i hope it turns out ok, and at least ur still alive
yeah... it was a straight head hit but fortunately my headlights are ok
Sorry to hear about your accident. I am very surprised you didn't go for comprehensive - I guess everyone makes mistakes. Nothing you can do about that now.Quote:

I would take the car to a smash repair place and get a proper quote - then perhaps try to shop around on some parts. There are now 15,000 Euros in Australia - so if you have time to wait - sourcing a 1/2 cut or 2nd hand parts sounds like a good idea.
weren't we just discussing insurance in another topic.. about comprehensive.. anyways...Quote:

I have to agree with yfin, take it to a smash repairer to get a quote, they have all the parts on their systems. The prices will be pretty much around - just the time and labour will differ really - and the people you take it too.
Good luck with it and keep us informed.
