MY07 bootlid fitted :D

finally i got my boot all finished!

when i purchased my car she had the spoiler already fitted... which looked ok, but i wanted the back to be bare... after taking the spoiler off i drove around with just blanking grommets filling the holes, after months of stuffing around i finally decided to get them filled and the boot resprayed... after my initial enquires it was going to cost $450 to get it all done...

i also needed to buy a new tail light as my right one accidentally got melted while debadging the lid :( lol they cost $240 from honda!

anyway, long story short i ordered a new boot from a wrecker in sydney, along with two MY07 tail lights (tinted reverse lenses for those who don't know) for $500 delivered... boot arrived a couple days later, damadged in transit!! see below:

so then began the whole ringing around everyone - blaming certain people , blah blah blah... decided id just drive to sydney and swap the damaged one over for another - simplest solution. went up to sydney last weekend and got this baby:

debadged her (very carefully):

The reverse lenses look normal to me, is it just the photo angle?

just a fancy way of saying: 2007... lol its just the '07 accord euro boot... basically exactly the same except tinted reverse lenses in the tail lights...

how much was the boot lid from the wrecker if you dont mind me asking?

he supplied the bootlid complete (number plate lights, light cover, release mechanism, boot release button) and 07 tail lights for $450... it cost me $50 freight to get it from sydney to canberra, but got that refunded because of the damage...

hmm wonder how much for just the boot lid, i have a scuff mark on my boot lid where the euro style number plate was so wanted to know how much it would cost.

which wrecker if you don't mind me asking?

Is the MY06 taillight tinted as well, like the MY07?

Ive never noticed any difference..

yeah i think they might be... i know 100% that the MY03-05 have the standard clear lenses... im guessing because the MY06 is the same shell as the MY07 that it has the tinted lights aswell

first thing i noticed on a mates 07 euro compared to my my06...were that the tailights were slightly more darker... i think both are tinted however my07> my06( ahahha i thought mine were fading )

i remember a thread discussing this - and i think they proved every red badge adds 10kw/atw... lmao

nah but seriously it looks hot, its funny when you pull up past someone and they look to see what just beat them... you can tell theyre thinking "wow euroRs are fast" lol

If you put a Raillyart or Nismo sticker, it will give you even more hp and it goes even faster :p

heres a pic of the euroR badge, looks way hotter in person, its a shadow chrome, so it matches the MY07 tinted tail lights perfectly!

I would have left the boot off as it saves weight = performance upgrade.

If you have a 06+ Euro the silver paint is different.

i have satin silver car with alabaster silver boot... you can only see the difference if i tell you theyre different and its in the right light... i doubt youd notice the spoilers difference...

besides, metallic panels look different even if theyre the same colour... :)
