S-Black My New NHB S GT

Unknownsoldier · 29th October 2007, 16:46

Here she is at last (after a few hours Autoglym-in'), My New NHB Type S GT, with Blades, Parking Sensors and Bang strips (City Pack) ----- (Still got a huge Smile on face). I've got to recommend Bumper Black (Autoglym), it's so easy to apply and one coat makes all the difference (not on in the pics, I did them before the light failed).

Tom

Btw, Already going back to Honda, almost 7 days old, for the badge to be redone, not stuck on fully and is peeling off, the bumper strip at the back is wonky and their is a bang from the front passenger (and occasionally driver side) side when you pull away....... oh well nothings perfect, but this so very nearly is......

Nice alloys.

What badge is coming off?

Unknownsoldier · 29th October 2007, 16:57

Thanks, I ummed and aahed about them, but I'm glad I went for them, they just suit the NHB so well.

The 'Civic' one, the last 'ic' is coming off the paintwork, I know it's petty, but I don't want to give some little reprobate the excuse to try and prize it off......also I've just paid a serious amount of money for this brand new and it should be perfect really.

Nice ,and have fun with new car.

HappyMan · 29th October 2007, 18:50

Looks amazing unknownsoldier, really nice.

jumpman23 · 29th October 2007, 18:54

Those Blades are beautiful, specially because they are a bit darker than the standard rims. So hopefully you do not need to wash them as often as I do with the standard rims. Damn I should have gone for those blades now I think of it....

Unknownsoldier · 29th October 2007, 19:01

Hajer & Happyman, Thanks

Jumpman23 (No Para' connection is there????), Thanks, the blades are nice and dark, but they still show up really dark marks like brakedust runs etc. etc, but not quite as much as the ordinary rims do (I use a wheel seal so they are easier to clean). They look good on darker colours than light colours

How about some pictures of the back of it?
I'm awaiting my Type S GT with reversing sensors and city pack, and I've not seen it yet on a Type S, especially the same colour as yours NHB.

Lovely job US.......... Them wheels do look special on NHB

Unknownsoldier · 29th October 2007, 19:32

Montana, I'll try and get some pics tomorrow, but it doesn't really notice that much [especially on NHB] they just accentuate the lines of the bumper a bit.

Nitehawk, Thanks.

Montana,

illegalhunter · 1st November 2007, 15:42

Nice & shinny, enjoy the driving now

jazzman · 1st November 2007, 16:25

Beautiful and do enjoy it

Unknownsoldier · 1st November 2007, 16:52

Thanks guys, saw a NHB CTR and am severely jealous, but heck, why mine looks good, drives great and still out performs Nova's with bodykits (Thats the best bit it looks better and is better!!!!)!!!!! Just wish they'd sort my problems out.......

I'm also angry at Drake and Fletcher

, seems they fitted non-Honda reversing sensors and told me to my face they were Honda ones, I asked cos' of my list!

Anyway starting a new thread on my other problems....... My dealer and my shocks, etc. etc. etc!!!

Thanks for the photo's. Looks great, but it doesn't look as though the sensors are colour coded either.

Unknownsoldier · 1st November 2007, 17:09

They are, it's just the light.

Really?
Mine don´t show up that much on a photo.

Unknownsoldier · 1st November 2007, 17:42

Hmmm, well they are painted, and yours are probably Honda, (I got "shafted by the dealer it seems.....

").

Mine are Honda.

I have understood that non-Honda items are often not painted in Honda colour, but pre-coloured only.

Think it is in the new car check list in the Wiki.

Sorry to hear about your dealer.

Unknownsoldier · 1st November 2007, 18:08

Thanks, they'll be getting rather an interesting phone call tomorrow.
