Here you go!
I was going to add this to my post above, but I didn't really see much of a difference in the photos..

High Beams

Oh, so the same projector is used for both the high beam/low beam?

Yup. There is a light behind the parker light strip that is used for the blinker.

The 10 000 km service is CHEAP,mine was about $200.

My C class 1st service cost is 700ish (no parts need to be replaced) thats why I'm regretting my move to europe car.

Anyway, that light seems tacky... why cant honda make it as DRL instead? Looks better that way I think :)

Whilst I don't think it looks tacky, I do agree that it would look much better as DRL's... Maybe there is a way to make em just that?

Nope, leave them as is. I quite like them, don't put Audi wannabe shiz on your car. I haven't seen another manufacturer that makes DRL's look like an Audi.

Though in saying that, due to regulations in the EU they would have to be DRL's over there....I wonder what they look like over there.

The CU2 facelift was better than I expected and I like it, there's only one thing which bugs me. I can't get over the pink tinge on the rear lights, if they were clear they'd contrast against your black car a lot better.

But other than slight nitpickings, superb.

Nice. ..headlamp..... I love it....

Even you can now drive away a 2011 my12 c class 200 (new engine) with some options for 59990....
Or u can drive away a 2011 cu2 not facelift one or a 2011 civic type r for less than 40k.........
Around 20k diff. ...20k is a lot of money....
why...cars getting cheaper and cheaper...even for brand new one...
I'm selling my 09 cu2 luxury ..23k on clock for 30500
...I would still be happy ..if someone offer me.29k. Or even 28k....but no one-.-

Honda service isn't that cheap.........and you need to service your car for every 6month..
My cl9 40000km service cost me $74x
My cu2 14000km cost me $35x with 15%off discount coupon ...so..is $29x ..
My friend jazz 40km service ..cost her $67x ......

My friend s lexus gs300....only needs servicimg for every 15000km...(he told me that)...
Lexus service is fantastic .... they can..take your car to service..while you are in a lecture...and drive you back...or drive it to your home..or.if you want ...they even pick your car up from airport when you leave aus...and delivery it to you when you come back.....that sounds awesome...but ....will never happen for Honda..-.-....

Welcome to the forum!! Put up some pictures of your car, I'd love to see the lip spoiler ;)

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I am sorry, my bad. I meant the rear wing spoiler, wrong terminology :-(

But I will post pics if you are still keen to see the car.

Cheers

Oh, there is no way I'd change 'em to DRLs. I hate the look of cars that I see that have done it after market.. That, to me, is tacky.

Here are some pics

Here are some pictures of the car.

I compared it to a Calais V (six cylinder), Liberty and Mazda 6. I have an Commodore SS-V as well. The car it replaced was a 17 year old Accord Wagon (US Built).

I have previously owned a Prelude Si (Cassis Red), Accord Vti-S (White) and an Accord V6-L. So I am pleased to have a new Honda again
24-08-2011, 08:31 PM

And the tint is completely behind the stop light (no cutting) :)
24-08-2011, 08:39 PM
inflyt247

Very nice!!

I don't know why the tint doesn't cover the full rear window, I didn't ask for it to be like that. Guess that's just how the company does it. Ah well, it doesn't bother me at all.

Did you get the wing put on, or is that how it came?
24-08-2011, 08:50 PM
ajkdark

Hi,

Thank you :)

I got the spoiler put on. I ordered the car with the Honda Accessories, spoiler, mud flaps and boot lining mat.

The tint was done through the dealership. They told me that they use two tinting companies. One company cuts around the stop light and the other goes in behind the stop light. They recommended the company that goes in behind the stop light as it looks better.

The salesman was a really nice guy, most helpful. :thumbsup:

I have been looking out for the MY12 Euros in Melbourne,but have not seen any on the roads yet,although have seen lots of newly registered MY11 models.

Dealers are obviously keen to sell out of pre facelift,before selling facelift models ???
25-08-2011, 08:34 AM

so whats the next plan for ur car? (has that been asked yet?)
25-08-2011, 04:19 PM

mine is complete window as well, it looks far better than having a cut out for the high mount stop light

There was a few thousand dollar discount on the MY11 models during the week of the "One day a year sale". I think quite a few were sold around that time. The discount may still apply, but I am not sure.

No plans, I am not into mods. I want it to look stock. I like it that way.

25-08-2011, 08:33 PM
inflyt247

I'm still in two minds of what to do. The only thing I would want to do is put some 20's on it and lower it slightly so it won't look like a 4x4 if I do put rims on it.

I don't really know much about the lowering of cars so I thought I would ask some advice before I go any further (maybe I should post this in the Cu2 mods thread??). As I said I don't wanna slam it, just a modest drop to make it look better with 20's on it. Can I lower it just using Pedders springs all round? My Lancer is was dropped just using Pedders springs all round and it had no problems at all, and the ride was still pretty good. Any advice would be great.

That is very, very nice. Not normally a fan of the wing type spoiler, however it suits that colour.

Congrats.

What new facelifted Euro? In Darwin, only the previous version is for sale. Got to sell that old stock before the new stuff is ordered. Oops! Honda is advertising the new facelifted model on TV. Cat's out of the bag. Old stock not moving. Need some mugs to buy old stock at full price otherwise no new stock until 2012.
