Sprayed the head unit black

**doosra** · 31-05-2009 10:29 AM

Unfortunately my air freshener leaked all over the headunit and stained the grey part of the unit. It also took abit of paint off it while i was trying to rub it off.. it looked like crap.. with black smudges everywhere so i decided to spray it matt black..

here are initial photo's.. it's still drying at the moment, so i'll post up final photo's later..

the air freshener company paid you for the damage.. ? if so, that's awesome.. how much did they pay you?

i think i might go with those dangley leaf things for air fresheners from now on..

Isn't their a warning on the package saying that the unit must be completely vertical?

Yep, they agreed to compensate for its, but the Honda just fux me up, they quoted me 1255, later I got cheque for its then they end up said they need more like 5.5k for its so ambipur told me to get quote somewhere else

Dealer was probably trying to rip you off. All that needs changing are the two plastic face plates. The radio/CD player/Climate control behind it is swapped over.
