Congrats on the new car! If I was you I'd keep it stock or add the Honda bits, you avoid possible warranty and insurance issues if you go aftermarket. I'm loving my VTiL hatch and thats after owing 2 VW Golfs.

Yeah, not planning to heavily mod it. Just want a nice sound and a slightly lower appearance. I want it to look like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/1yvmdl0e2d...-Hatchback.jpg (pshopped by me)Quote:

Only issue is you wont have warranty on them
Just involes you getting them from an overseas honda dealer.

I would recommend Cox motor group for any item you want for the civic since they have a larger range of extras, than hodna australia
Hey, thanks for the link! Exactly what I needed! The Honda dealership i bought my car from said warranty is still there as long as they install it, better than paying $550 for the fog lights via the dealership. Unfortunately though the carbon looking front&rear bumper add-ons and side skirts can't be shipped here.
Yeah, decided to keep the exhaust stock. I realised that I'm not Kimi Raikonen and will not race my car.Quote:

The up comming type R you can race with the 225hp that rumors say it will have.
Oooh 2014 Civic Type-R? I was looking at used ’08 models as they cost less than a brand new ’13 Civic but I ended up deciding on a brand new car. Any idea if they’re releasing a Type-R Integra in the next 3-5years? Cause I’ll well be able to afford that if I trade/sell my civic then.
Btw, what engine does this 2013 civic run? R18?
The integra is no longer in production. stopped in 06.Quote:

Could mine have been built ages ago like late 2012? In the contract, it states "Prod Date: 24 July 2013" "Comp Date: 0101" Don't know wth Comp and 0101 means.. Compliant: January 1 2013? Produced date though he made it clear that's it's fresh, unless...........Quote:

But the Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Rear Diffuser-2012> costs £286.44 and delivery is £280.69
Hey bro, pretty much in general I want these parts, all Honda genuine:
-Fog Lights
-Carbonfibre finish bolt on accessories that goes on the front and rear bumpers and the side skirts
-Spoiler in black
Price the dealership quoted me is not more than $2000 which is heaps.
Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Front Fog Light Kit - Petrol-2012>
Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Roof Spoiler (in Crystal Black Pearl)-2012>
£432.88 Ex VAT
Delivery is £244.23 to sydney.
-------------------------------------------------------
Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Front Skirts-2012>
£188.44 Ex VAT
Delivery is £280.69 to sydney.
-----------------------------------------------------
Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Rear Diffuser-2012>
£286.44 Ex VAT
Delivery is £280.69 to sydney.
------------------------------------------
Genuine Honda Civic 5 Door Side Skirts-2012>
£279.30 Ex VAT
Delivery is £226.00 to sydney.
So they can be gotten but you have to order them in batches, unless you can arrage something with them.
Total is £2218.67.
That is pounds, when you use current conversion rates that is about $3,850 for all those things.
Postage is the main killer
Best way to do this is ask honda the price for each thing and then go get each item at its cheapest location.
Ah so it doesn't let you check out if you buy all in one go. That's waaay too expensive for the body kit add ons. I think I'm just gonna buy the fog lights from Cox as it works out cheaper and get it installed with the body kit from the dealership. I messaged them if it will fit the Austalian VTi-S (which should) and if they say it does, buying it tomorrow so it gets here when the car does. Cheers man!
They may not even know what an australian VTI-S is even if you give them your VIN number but i think the VTI-S is a crappier version of an SE which is honda UKs base model.
The front add ons look like small plastic bits or is it a full front bumper?
As the £280.69 to sydney is for packages to 65KG and 2 small bits of plastic should not weigh more than 5KG.
I can ask them if you want.
build date is on the bottom of the windscreen. It will be Jan 13. Yours will of been built in 2013 but not last month like u said. that is confusing. I would say the COMP date is july 13 and the build date is jan 13. U have them the wrong way around :) I can assure u it was not built on 24 july. All this makes no difference to re sale or anything. U have 2013 built and complied civic that's all the matters :)Quote:
