New 2012 Accord Euro from $29900 driveaway...

I thought that the dimensions of the new grille and old grille were different so you can't fit the Modulo grille without the Modulo bumper on the facelift?

That's right, The Modulo Kit for the MY12 is the same as for the MY08 CU2, which makes the Modulo Grille compolsory. I Like the Modulo B/Bar, but not the grille.

Looking at the Accessory list for the MY 12 there are no fog lights listed which has me thinking, but as it is on the contract the Dealer will need to comply with that contract, even if it means they have to order the components individualy from a lux model.

MAke sure its a Honda's fog light and not some cheap ebay one then...

because they can say "Oh, it didnt say that it has to be a honda accord euro fog lighs" (this happens few times with ppl and the "tailored matt" - which some get the genuine matt, others got supercheapauto one...)

Denny,

There are after market foglights there as well. I didnt get foglight, but wheni ask for foglight price at trivett parramatta the guy at spareparts said they can fix the after market foglight for cheap. genuiine honda one is bit expensive... after market means they can get ebay one as well?

i am really surprised with supercheap auto matt they give with brand new car.....

I'm not an OEM whore, accessaries just has to do their job, I'm not fussed where it's from.




They are all made in china anyway

Only thing is if you fit genuine honda accessories the warranty for the accessories will be also covered with the car warranty ie 3yrs/5yrs. If after market the warranty is just 1yr...

For the price of OEM... The aftermarket can be replaced one every year an I'll still be ahead.

OEM is only about $200-300 new, though my contacts.

Are you trading your old Euro in ???

[buddah51au]

yes, the old CU2 has been traded after too many hours of negotiations. The decision has been a long & difficult 1 to make, but recently made easier by a blind old women.

I also thought long & hard about sourcing a good set of OEM Lux 18's vs after market, but the choice came down to long term future if something was to happen to an after market wheel, the chance of replacing 4 if 1 was damaged on the goat tracks around where i live is what swayed my decision. The only non OEM item I am fitting is the Michelin tyres were way over priced in my opinion. after obtaining many quotes i was browsing the Goodyear site & found they have a special going at the moment where if you get 4 new tyres, you only pay for 3. I then found they have a newly released Eagle F1 Directional which seems to have good reviews & i was quoted $1,114 for 4 tyres. Even though i have never been a Goodyear fan it was an exceptional deal, so the tyres are fitted up waiting to go on the car.
