Great to see the HCCNSW back from the brink!

I share the sentiments above re: a long overdue but welcome alliance

Unfortunately these are the only half-usable shots i've got
i'll take some more when i next put these rims back on

Here's one of when my Euro had gold-ish rims

I bought my grill primed and bare, and got it painted at a body shop in Yennora... I cant remember the name, but basically just brought the grill along with me and went to a number of body shops...

I got my windscreen replaced (TWICE!) for less than $200 installed each time, and that includues the rain sensor lens (the actual electronic sensor module is attached to the roofline of the car and...

Thanks guys for the messages and advice!

I agree it would be worthwhile getting an independent assessment of the damage, and will do that soon.

I'm just turning a blind eye to it for the time...

yeah so it doesn't seem a warranty job, so i'll have a shop look at it and see what they can do

atleast cease the rust and touch up the paint defect

To clarify, the Honda assessor noted that the roof on both sides of the sunroof is depressed, and may have been pushed down (by what he claims was someone 'skylarking' out of my sunroof by riding on...

Hey guys, a honda rep came around and had a look, and claimed that the roof had been "subject to a downward force" of sorts e.g. someones gone stomping on the roof.
That was his final word and said...

The dealer had a look and took some photos to send to headquarters. Now Honda Australia is sending someone out on tuesday coming for an assessment.

They better not try to blame things like "firmer...

Thanks yoey, I feel your love :)

I didn't see anything wrong with the paintwork til a week ago and all of a sudden it was all peeling off! sheesh

Some anti-rust and a black texta - it'll buff...

Thanks for your input guys.
Not impressed with the quality, but shit happens. I'll clean my car up tomorrow (so they don't think i've neglected it :P), take it to the dealer on tues and let u guys...

There's definitely been no trauma to the roof; these are the only two points with problems. No trees (or people :P) having a go at the roof

Yeah it sucks balls.
I bought the car new in 2004; there was only a month or so between the build date and the delivery date, so not too much time for mistreatment by dealers or what not.

I...

The car has just come off warrantly unfortunately, althought rust and paintwork warrantly was longer than the mechanical warrantly from memory? I need to look that up.

I've got lowering springs,...

About a year ago I noticed a slight buckle around one edge of my sunroof on my 04 Euro, and didn't pay too much attention to it.
Yesterday I had another look and not only has it buckled alot, the...

looks the goods, tho with that much lip/dish, you're gonna have a tough time fitting that little offset under the guards or to clear the brakes.

Haha It's more speculation overload, and information underload!

Haha I'll do it for free. Provided you have a drill handy.

And I paid $70/80 or so for prep and baked paint. I'm sure u can go at it with sandpaper and a can of pray paint if ur game :P j/k

That's similar to the one I bought from the US. I got it painted at a spray painter in Yennora (who did a great job) and installed it myself. It's pretty straight forward, and yes you do need to...

Hope this is not going to be a reflection of their aftermarket service and troubleshooting if anything goes wrong. If the reflash plays up, having to wait a year or so for a solution.

Does it only "clunk" once? Auto's will clunk once when you first head forward after reversing, and vice versa.

And the engine dropping revs without actually changing gears is most likely the...

Maybe you can make the whole front strip pop out with the washers.
That'd be awesome :P

Like on many other cars, it'd be nice to have a 'courtesy' light mode, where the headlights stay on for a minute or so to light the driveway as you walk to your front door or wherever after locking...

You're right, there are 80W H11. Had a quick squiz on the US eBay.
That extra lighting would be nice =) Perhaps drill some extra holes in the back or sides of the housing for better ventilation and...
