Replace the fascia with the Type R glare and scratch free one - Page 2

Kremmen · 28th March 2007, 14:56

I do like it - seriously tempted.

Topcat · 28th March 2007, 16:45

Well I picked mine up today - I had a nice new shiney SCRATCHED dash !!!!

I actually found it quite funny - I think I have passed all the emotions to do with this car now.

Anyway, they are replacing it again for me and this time with the type R one, I prefer the original one but its just too much hard work.

The other thing is when I had my car repaired before they left a slight raised bit near my door handle, it went back to have that done too this week and now they have put a scratch above the door handle - so it is going back again, the strange thing is I cant get angry with the staff there cos I really like them all and they couldnt have apologised more if they tried.

Despite it all I still love the car too so the car is staying faults an all

They do like you so much that they just scratch your car to have the opportunity to see you again !

maybe a secret lover in the staff ?

Beware of them TC

LOL that will be it!

Very nice mod Pottsy, like it so much that I was just waiting for someone to make sure it fitted before ordering it.

Been to Stratstone Honda today and parts guy has just ordered, £35 all in and I'll be fitting it over the weekend, nice quick job and no more scratched dash!!

What will be your next Type-R tweak/ Modification that should be on all Civs?

Kremmen · 30th March 2007, 07:01

Excellent

Might wait until the first service and have it done then, unless it can be done as a while-you-wait jobby on a Saturday.

Wonder how long it would take?

And.....does the blanking grommet come as part of the facia? Need it with the EX.

Well I was told it was only a half hour job so I would imagine up to an hour. Im a bit fed up I noticed last night that the clear plastic bit of the screen is covered in scratches too now looks likes it has been wiped with a cloth with grit in it

I give up

Kremmen · 30th March 2007, 07:43

So it's probably best to leave well alone as the mechanics seem to be a bit careless with the soft plastic!

Potty's photo's are a good guide but it would take a video of the operation for me so that I could assess whether I felt competent enough.

Well apparently the guys at Honda wear gloves whilst doing the dash, I have a feeling this was done at the Bodyshop where the car went back for a correction on the previous paintwork, my car has been many many times to Honda and it has never come back scratched before.

Kremmen · 30th March 2007, 08:40

I'll make an enquiry.................

Adri CiViC · 30th March 2007, 10:45

I did this yesterday

I'll do a How to soon...

Kremmen · 30th March 2007, 11:58

The how-to here is fine, it's just that knowing me I will pull something the wrong way and snap a clip off.

IWANTACIVIC · 30th March 2007, 12:21

Looks very nice , but beens my dash is one of the few, by the sound of it thats isnt badly scrached i think ill leave it for now

Ham'sCivic · 30th March 2007, 12:24

Thanks for the post Pottsy, you're God like status on this forum has moved to a higher level!

Do you know, or does anyone else for that matter, know how much the clear screen, and the HID swtich costs?

Do I read right that the Type R dash is £35 inc VAT?

I am waiting for a reply to my letter to Honda before I go and buy, in case they will replace for free, but if not, I'd like to replace the whole lot inc the centre clear section, Pottsy, is this held on with a couple of screws too?

Cheers,
Ian

Ham'sCivic · 30th March 2007, 12:39

Anyone know if this invalidates any part of the warranty???

pcr · 30th March 2007, 12:46

Is it my imagination, or is this a different finish that Adri Civic is showing us, it looks different to Pottsy's Type-R facia ?.

Ham'sCivic, I am fairly certain that the clear perspex is the bonded front of the instrument unit and not a seperately replaceable sheet.

Foggy69 · 30th March 2007, 13:17

I hope I haven't just bought the wrong bit.
I was just charged £50 for the fascia.

HondaHeaven, what was the part number of the fascia you have got?? Or did you get a discount??
