Getting the new 18" wheels on, sure helped on the look, and so much on driving the car.
I think the 17" 205/50 wheels, are to small for a car with the power from the 1.5t engine, and that a set of 18" 225/40 wheels suits the car so much more, and actually the Goodyear tires are more silent that the tires the car came with.

 

Got my gearknob fitted, I do like the Skunk2

 

Same as mine, lovely feel.

 

New car. New profile Mike?0

 

Completely forgot, thanks for the heads up :smile3:

 

Just fitted the new door sills, I do like the look

 

hi where did you get these sill from? Thanks

 

Got my Dashcam fitted

This is really a big test, as I got this recommended from a friend, who got it from China, and it cost nothing, so I'm rather sceptic.
Check video below :-( so now I'm on the seach for a Blackvue dashcam.

Note how the road exposure 'brightens up' as you have a sky full of trees as you drive into the car park.
Much better to have more dash showing and a better exposed area of interest.

When I got my car I ordered it with an OEM Honda detachable tow bar, which is fine, but they deliver the tow bar in a blue cotton bag, and I don't like the idea of having the tow bar flying around, in my trunk, when i drive.

So I took the foam out, the one under the boot carpet, and found that if I cut out a small piece, I could fit the tow bar just fine, now I just wonder why Honda did not do this from design start?


After that I put in my new boot liner, can't do without it

 

Got around to put some decoration on my steering wheel

 

Good and bad day.


Somebody hit my car, when parked, and OFC no note, so now I gotta speed up getting my trim painted, so I can get this dent fixed and painted.


And I got my door lock striker cover, and fitted them, looks nice I think.

 

So I finally got around to get the car painted, just need to clean it, and then I will wait for some fine weather, then I will take a bunch of pictures, to show how nice it looks.

And it's not just the scratch that is painted, I have painted the grille, and other parts of the car.

 

Got my black logo, for the rear and front


Just need to fit them.

 

I got my fog light covers, just need to fit them now.

And I got around to wash, polish and give the car a good layer of wax.

The car is ready for me to take some pictures of how well it looks now

 

I wanted to change the rear Honda logo, so I had to take the rear trunk shield of.

Quite easy when you know what to do, I think it's a 10 min job, but I spent some more time the first time.

This also useful if you need to change the rear camera or change the led number plate light.

I used a plastic pry tool, with a 45 degree angel, a 8 socket wrench, small flat screwdriver, side cutter.

Start with removing the small clips that holds the plastic cover, the clips are located in the bottom, and just need to be pulled out with the pry tool.
When the bottom clip is removed, then you can pull the plastic cover, there are a clip on the top, on the inside of the cover.

Then you have to remove the 9 plastic clips located all around the fabric cover inside the trunk lid, you will see that there is a small gap in the plastic clips, take the small screwdriver, and pop the clips open, then they are easy to pull out.

From the inside of the lid, start with removing the bolt located on top of the plastic cover, holding the section where the Honda logo is placed.

Now you have to be aware of where the clips are located inside the cover. Take the pry tool and carefully lift the cover just beside where the clips are located, I did not break any of the clips, they comes out with a snap, just make sure you don't pull in the cover.

Remove the 2 plugs, one for the rear camera, and the other for the led light. You have to remove the wire for the led light, then the cover i free.

If you want to change the Honda logo, then you have to break the 2 small plastic pins located in the red circle, you can reuse the metal clips holding the logo, I used a side cutter, and reused the metal clips.

Reverse the process to put the caver back on, I used a small amount of liquid grease to put in the holes for the cover clips, so when I reassembled the cover it was so easy, took me 3 min.

 

Here are some pictures of the car after I got it painted and fitted the black logo, front and rear.

The 4 door Honda Civic is sampled in Turkey, and this version is only delivered with chrome front trim and chrome Honda logo, and I must admit I'm not a fan of chrome, and funny enough the 5 door Honda is sampled in England and is only delivered wit black front trim, but still the Chrome Honda logo.

I think the 4 door looks so much more cool with black front. And as I don't like "raw" plastic trim, I got all the plastic trim painted in black, except the plastic trim located in the bottom of the rear bumper, I chose to paint it the same colour as the car, look more sleek.



Also I removed the CIVIC on the rear, looks more clean this way


Now I'm just waiting for my carbon cover for the side mirrors.

 

Got my winter tyres delivered, Kleber Krisalp HP3, are going to fit them on the OEM wheels that came with the car.

 

Got my "carbon" wing mirror cover, just need to fit it.


And at the same time got 1. meter of Oracal wrap (black) so I can wrap the chrome trim on top of the side windows.


Slowly coming along, but I can't find an open air filter that's Tüv approved, and I'm still in doubt if I should go for a BlueSpark or Ktuner chip tuner

 

Got around to fit my gear gaiter fixating, so it fits my Skunk2 gear knob.

Found it on Ebay, and I'm much more pleased with it, than I first thought, It complete the Skunk2, as my hand fits the gear knob, and my pinkie finger rests on the gear gaiter fixating
And it looks so much nicer than before.

And I have made a How To I have linked to here https://www.civinfo.com/forum/how-guides-only-10g/422698-how-change-gearkonb-skunk2.html

 

Found it on Ebay,

Looks good Mike. Have you got a ebay link or the text that you searched for please?

 

OK so these goes in the box as bad purchase, the fitting on these are so bad that I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy


Got to wait for the real carbon comes on sale, but with brexit, the wing mirror covers properly ends up getting painted :-(

 

Got my mudguards, just need to get them painted, I do need them especially with my 18" wheels as the ET makes the wheels spray dirt up on the side of the car, both front and rear.

 

I was looking for some rubber winter mats for my car, and I was almost about to get some OEM, but then I found a better solution.

I always found when I clean my car, that the place where the most dirt was gathered, was just below the foot rest.

So I found a set, where there is a rubber flap that covers the foot rest and the set was almost half price of the OEM, and it fits just great. There's the holes for the fixating clips, and the quality of the rubber is great, so I'm pleased.

And on the same time I found my SF49 winter hat for my Skunk2 gear knob.



Link for the mats is perhaps not so interesting for some of your guys, but here it is anyway.

fitted my footwell lightning kit today, looks so nice, and it works with the automatic lightning.

I set it on 25% and that's more than enough.

 

can you give us the link where you bought it? thanks!

 

Search for user Roxy. He does them.

 

Forgot the links, sorry.
As M8TJT writes there's a seller in this forum, he also sells the kit on ebay, which is the one I used, as I live in DK.
