Picked Up My New 1.8 EX Galaxy Grey

carted00 · 1st April 2008, 13:54

Well,

Got my new car yesterday. Must admit I wasn't excited at all about picking it up, getting a bit blase I suppose, but am very pleased with it so far. Had to turn off auto lights, far too sensitive.

One question for you all. When the guy parked it out the front of the showroom I noticed what looks like a a blemish. Looked at all of the other civics on the forecout and they're all the same. On the tailgate on the nearside just about where the Civic badge would be if it was put on that side. Looks like a crease about an inch long. Guy said he'd never seen it before and no-one else had ever mentioned it. Maybe it's because I work in Quality Assurance but it stood out a mile for me. Anyone else noticed it?

Galaxy Grey must be one of the most misleading colour names I've come across, very nice colour though and not too many around my area.

Post a piccy of where you think it's creased.

Galaxy rules OK

I like the way it glints of gold/bronze specs in the sun.

Ah... QA, you nit pickers! What line of work you in?

When it comes to a £14k plus car I would certainly get it checked. Enjoy your new car

Darren, you're dead right mate... I've noticed it on mine too, surprised it's not been mentioned on this forum before. I've also checked loads of other Civics and they are all the same. Also, if you look carefully on the offside, where the Civic badge is, it's the same. I think it's the fixing points where the outer shell is fixed or welded to the inner. Doesn't say much for the build quality does it?

Unfortunately you'd never pick it up with a picture, but it's definitely there.

I noticed and mentioned that at the meet the other week. Thought I was going mad! Think the others did too! Its like whatever machine has affixed that part together has pushed a little too hard and something underneath has stopped it but left the crease.

I think they all have it, it's how you know it's genuine, and if it's been resprayed.
