hey all.. im planning to book my 10k service for my fd..however..
when I purchased my car i realised the given floor mats where abit small.. and that fitting was abit weird.. up until recently i drove another civic and realised that mine are different.. and that mine are honda but made for a different car.. =S.. now how can I get the real civic ones without them coming up with some random excuse?

[renegadeice]

ummm..... when you bought the car, and they agreed to give you the extra floor mats. was this written down in a written agreement?

[warwick108]

I guess so.. because floor mats came with it.. but their excuse would be... floor mats are floor mats.. =S

[destrukshn]

lol
instead of jumping to conclusions that it's for a different car, why not do some research on it first?
they're are 2 types of mats, the universal ones that you have.
and the fitted ones.
when they sold you the car, they probably said they'll throw in standard mats.
NOT fitted ones.
lol.

that will be they're excuse.
and no way getting around it
lol.

they should swap it as it is relatively new. As long as the mats arent damaged or dirty. Just let them know you realized it was different. I mean, what other mat could it be other than a jazz, euro, legend, ody, s2k. Im sure they will see the difference

edit: dont they give the fitted mats as standard? So they have 2 types?

well, then u could argue with a spoiler too. If it says comes with a spoiler, they could install a jazz spoiler on your civic. a spoiler is a spoiler

the mats are really screwed up.. like the drivers mat.. actually blocks the pedals.. exspecially the accel pedal.. =S.. cause its way to long.. first time sitting in my back seat.. the mats are like.. 30 cm by 30cm.. =S.. no middle one either..

yes they're are 2 types, if you don't actually specify which ones you want, they will give you the standard ones.
and the standard ones are not fitted ones.
standard = universal
fitted = made to cars specifications.
