Picked Up My Euro
Hi Guys and Gals
My name is Jason and I live in Wellington, New Zealand. I picked up my 2004 Graphite Pearl 6 Speed Manual on Saturday. I also purchased the Sports Bumper package and the 17" wheels. If someone is willing to post up the pics for me I can email you some great pics I took with a 8MP Canon camera I borrowed from my mate at Canon.
The car is bloody good value for money here in NZ, the only problem being is we can't get the luxury model with a manual like they can in OZ. The luxury model pretty much has the same specs as the TSX minus a few horsies and a flashy stereo.
Just thought I wouls say HI.

Thanks to VIRUS7 for putting up the photo's. To anyone who recommends a drop, I wish. The roads over here are very average. On the first day I picked it up I was exiting the carpark after doing the grocery shopping and I scrapped the underside of the front bumper already.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The Fog's are yellow and they come standard with the sports bumper. The colour is definetly the best available in NZ. I will try and get some interior shots up for you.

The bumper isn't the standard one. It's a NZ $2500 option.
I think they call it the modulo kit in Japan. The skirts and rear are the same as what you guys get on the TSX.

The photo's where taken just after I picked it up. It has a teflon coating for the paint which is probably why it looks so shiny. The wheels where a really good deal as they where only 1200 US with Bridgestone tires. They are the only other wheel option from Honda NZ.

Yeah the rims cost NZ$1900 which is about $1200US. The full bodykit which includes the sports front bumper, side skirts, rear skirt and rear spoiler costs NZ $3800 or US $2400. I gave the rear spoiler back to the dealer to sell on my behalf as I think it looks better without it. Thanks for the compliments, keep them coming

Whoa man, welcome to the board, I haven't been here for a week, so I just saw those pics, dang, I wish my CG car was also shiny like that. You said Teflon right? Well, the Acura dealer where I got my car from gave me paint shield with Teflon it says on the label, hmm, haven't tried it yet, I guess I will now!
And to think what could've been if Honda of America released the Accord as the same body style as the rest of the world like New Zealand, Japan, and Europe get instead of the overweight ugly 7th gen sedan one.

We get 2 Accord's in NZ. The Euro and the American Accord with the V6. To me the Euro is the sportier better handling car with the other version being the pampering semi luxury car.
