just sell up and buy a petrol Accord :-) after all it was Honda's first proper diesel engine/car they made, and they are still a lot better than some diesel cars out there... :-) genuinely speaking I have spent more money modding my Accord than I have getting it fixed, or even maintained for...

Type S in the 8th Gen is the one to go for, you get all the kits, faster and looks nicer too... plus you get all the EX goodies as well as metal pedals... I have been looking at the same one as you, my next car will be a type s in the 8th gen too :)

im sure they only fit correctly one way...

yes DC, are digital ballasts, they don't cause flicker...

Cheers Brett! :)

Thanks Bro! I know the feeling of driving a clean car... feels good! :-) and yes the Polo is next on the list! ;) Cheers mate! Thanks Shabz! I may soon be starting off a thread offering a service to members watch this space ;)

Thanks Marcus! :)

Thanks Sufian! ;) it's called Magifoam, people speak highly about it on detailing world that's where I get all my tips from ;)

Oh and on a final note, guys this is one nice car! Drives lovely, plenty of gadgets and very sophisticated! It was a pleasure dropping her back off to Fahad, I would definitely have one! :-D

interior was vacuum cleaned, leathers wiped down with Gilptone leather cleaner, it was pretty much mint anyway, dash board cleaned up with non sticky matt finish Valet Pro Pink Sheen!

Here are some final pictures guys! I would have loved to spend extra time with it, would have liked to have a coat of Collinite maybe as well as clayed etc… but I suppose that’s for another day ;) Dressed up the engine bay with Aerospace 303 and also two coats of wheel sealant, before...

Time to get the glass done, inside out… used Zaino polish for this, beads up water really well… as soon as you drive off in rain easily clears it, even the windscreen! PAGE

Best bling about the car… the exhausts…. Used Autosol metal polish with a cloth, buffed and polished, should stay clean for a while…

nice reflections of the garage door ;) final second coat of Dodo Juice wax! Again guys tried and tested! This is good stuff, well worth buying, but remember this is only for light coloured cars, they have a massive range… Now time to dress up the tyres, I normally use Meguairs tyre gel...

head lights also done… what’s the point in just the water on the paint beading up??? ;)

Now we start with the body, guys I really recommend using this glaze wax from Poorboys for those light coloured cars… I used it on mine yesterday and really works a treat, makes the car paintwork look really slick and glossy, like a wet look…. Pictures really speak for themselves; you can even...

Now here are the pictures of everything nice and clean yet still wet, going to dry the car with leather chamois ready for the next part… also let engine bay air dry as the weather was nice enough…

Now it was time for the engine bay! Used very slow pressure on the lance just to get rid of loose dirt, same with snow foam, just to get it all soapy… then used a hand brush to agitate all the dirt… again, used very low rinse to wash it off, to be on the safe side and not to damage anything!

Then snow foamed, twice. First snow foam left to dwell for around 15 minutes to get all the tar and dirt loose, second snow foam and Zymol car shampoo with a lambswool mitt… only the best for Fahad’s ride! Grill done twice, to ensure no dirt left on the sides, very easy to miss out…

PAGE Now it was time for a proper thorough jet wash, to remove all the loose dirt and grit as well as majority of those dead insects… and also start off with given those wheels a sparkle, used Bilberry safe wheel cleaner, works really well… can see the purple stuff in the pics!
