Colour Coding wheel arches etc etc etc

Type S Bournemouth · 23rd October 2006, 18:03

If im right in saying so Honda charge around £850 to colour code all your arches and bumpers etc etc.

Ive just taken my Accord in to my local repair specialist who always does a brilliant job and ive asked them how much they would charge me to colour code the whole of the civic. He couldnt give me an exact figure but he said wouldnt be anymore than £450.

So thats what i will be doing when i get my civic.

That's a really good idea. I have wondered why the wheel arches are black. When you get this done, will you post pictures on here?

I'd love to see them.

That seems to be a reasonable amount for that job. I look forward to seeing the results.

Yeah I will do but will be a while yet as waiting for the Type S so will be a few months away yet. We all know how long you have to wait to get hold of a new civic!!

That does look nice, and it's around half the price Biker1 quoted.

Yes im glad i asked them as its now something i will definately be looking to have done.

Hi there,

Think the colour coding looks ok, but also think the plastic trim gives it quite a sportier racey look (especially on Galaxy Grey).

Thats cheap would want to see black one done before i had it done , what about wheel arces in black and the gril bit in sliver to make it look like it had wire grill?

I think the colour coding looks pretty good, but the plastic trim on mine is taking a real battering (rear scuffed in car park, lots of marks just in front of rear wheels, front hit by "Long Vehicle" sign come off lorry on motorway) and if it had been painted these would just look a mess
