Earlier Euro Luxes came with the same 5 spoke 16" rims as the standard model. Only the last examples of the pre-facelift Lux came with the 10-spoke Sport rims, around 2006, perhaps from late 2005....

Pics? What did you find?

Sounds to me like the car has taken a reasonably hard hit in the front left corner, hard enough to knock the guard panel alignment out, and the repairer has not realigned...

I've only used 98 in mine so YMMV, I have no benchmark to compare to for economy or smoothnesss/power. But I typically get 9.3L/100km around town, best I've done on the open road is 7.0L/100km. This...

I take it you are not comprehensively insured?

That's repairs to rear door (maybe a new door or outer skin) and rear metal quarter panel damage, and possible minor skirt damage. They will likely...

There may be a policy excess in addition to the repair/write-off payout amount that they are asking you to pay.

Fog light colours other that white or yellow do not comply to ADR regulations and are not legal.

Please no HIDs for fog lights... Fog lights used inappropriately are annoying enough (you cannot...

How many kays? Have you had your manual transmission fluid (MTF) replaced?

You were robbed. The only products that don't qualify for the $1000 import threshold are tobacco and alcohol products.

Hondas do well in UK reliability tests, but I'm always mystified by the uncool "grandpa" image that the Accord and the Honda brand in general has in England.

While it's true Honda's brand image is...

Try some Mother's Back To Black. Won't permanently cure the problem, it requires regular re-application, but will dress it up.

You could try a detailer like Final Inspection at Seven Hills, and...

Dirty/old filter will cause cabin smell. Clogged filter may reduce the effectiveness of the AC, both for heating and cooling.

The air filter is located behind the glove box. The glove box unhooks...

Depends on if you are tall in the top half, rather than total standing height. The driver's seat can be lowered at the front and at the back to tip the bottom of the seat. I have the back all the way...

5'11" here and I have about 2 fingers clearance between the headliner next to the sunroof with the seat on the lowest setting.

If you don't like the woodgrain, or the beige interior, you can find...

Known issue with these DDM kits. Take it as a sign not to install.

You do know you're putting a HID bulb into a halogen projector, and it isn't road legal to retrofit this way? They will glare...

Definitely looks like a facelifted one to me, looking at the blanked foglight area.

Yep, yours looks like a facelift Sport. No chrome trim on the bonnet, and it has the bumper with the revised facelift foglights.

Don't forget that some dealers may have had pre-facelift stock...

Looks great! Keep the 18's.

Pretty normal to have to replace rotors soon after 80,000km or so in modern cars. The rotors don't have enough meat on them to be machined.

Auto will be a bit harder on brakes than the manual.

Aside from the legality of no washers/levelers, note that the headlight projectors for the Lux HIDs are different to the standard car. Cheap HID kits that retrofit a ballast and HID bulb in halogen...
