I couldn't find any other places that sell it, other than walking into a Honda dealer.
Acura Parts from the US?Quote:

I drool everytime i see the grille on a cu2.. saw 1 second hand on ebay before selling for $400ish i think. But it was in black and its gonna cost more for me to paint.
Maybe I'll DIY some grille.
BTW facelifted euro now comes with switch blade key and also BI-xenon headlights. Wow.. pretty amazing....
Bi-Xenon only on the top Luxury Navi varient - I'm quite envious of it though.Quote:

Thanks.
MY11 CU2, low beam with HID, high beam with HB3 halogen bulb.Quote:

plenty of examples of how it works in youtube if you search it.
Ohhh I see. Cheers natnat!Quote:

use the wrong one, insurance may deny your claim if anything happens due to your nuts coming off...
i've seen many young drivers being mis-informed on correct mods. just a word of advise, dealing with insurance can be a pain if your car is technically illegal, worst case scenario you will not be covered and will have to pay the other party damages too. $$,$$$ gone..... or even being chased by debt collector.
hmm nuts costing like $10, throwem away if theyre not right. thanks for the headsup
wikipedia says honda uses tapered tho?
HAHAHAHAHAH... serioulsy.Quote:

I want a simpsons horn! so like if the reversing lights only come on when you reverse, are you guys only installing brighter ones for safety purposes? good on you guys, safety first.Quote:

with the euro, if i want it to be an even smoother ride (when going over bumps), what shud i do/buy?Quote:

wth is a coilover
coilover is the whole set up with the spring and shocks in one piece...Quote:

wat does firmer mean when talking about coilovers,,does it mean anything with swaying?
firmer spring/coilovers set-up = stiffer ride, less 'swaying' when cornering?? but sore arseee.
ok, can i get confirmation that the euro does have a firmer ride? or is it me? i do feel the bumps more so in euro than when im in a lancer or jazz
and, lemonhead, is that ur car in the picture?, cus i love that grill, jizz in pants style
Europeans like their cars a bit firm.
The people in the states like their cars to drive like boats.
I'm planning on getting BC BR coilovers!Quote:

IMO, they arent that good. They leak & become very noisey within the first year.
That was a known issue.
My mate had them in his wrx bought from wholesalesuspension penrith.
Returned them back within the month.
Whoa really? I've been hearing good stuff about them. Great, now I don't know what to do! Any more opinions/experience/advice guys?Quote:

thanks MR_LATE :wave:,, the grill, yes, hours of labour and re-coating, but worth it.
I felt the ride on the CU2 (stock set-up) was more on the comfort side. but i have not sat in the latest lancer/ jazz yet. they gave me a Honda City to use while I have the car in for servicing, that was one average ride.
The City is a Jazz in Sedan form, but the Jazz is more practical!
man that white grill really sets u apart from other euro, prob been told many times lol.Quote:

Sorry but is anyone on BC coils atm? I remember reading something about BC coils in dec last year but I can't remember now and searching 'BC coils' doesn't really help as 'bc' is only 2 letters. Sorry and thanks guys.
Edit: also, if you are, could you please let me know how you're finding them? How long you've had them for, any troubles, ride quality, what height you're at (front and rear) and anything else.
they gave me the accord v6 when I last service my car...feels so light and agile plus with a 203kw engine.Quote:

4 dealer service = rims gone
1 dealer service = intake gone
2nd service = springs gone
anyway....mr late, can you tell where you gpt your reversing bulbs from?
i still havent found any cheap but bright parkers yet :(
If anyone's interested, I found some sports pedals on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_500wt_1156
Dunno if they're auto or manual though.
Ordered mine this afternoon... BC BR Series. They done make specifically for CU2 but the ones for the current accord is compatible with our CU2.Quote:

What transmission do you have euro_noob, 6spd manual?
Yeah, 6spd manual. I bought myself a set of sports pedals off a forum member. Cheaper than what it is at Honda obviously but when it rains and my shoes are wet, there isn't much grip at all hahah. I've stalled once cause my shoe slipped off the clutch going out of a car park lol.Quote:
