Nice, but nearly 77K on the clock... Can't imagine wear and tear items are cheap on a luxobarge like that!

I'm getting old started getting grey hair lol. Well I went and looked at it and it looked superb. Plus I'm already getting the wood wrapped carbon so bit younger look. Plus I work offshore so will only be driving the car every so often.

Some of these non manufacture warranty company policies are hardly worth the paper they're written on. You have to buy the top cover to have any chance of getting a claim. Then they'll take days if not weeks to process your claim while your car is half in pieces in the garage with them waiting for confirmation. They'll only cover part labour and only pay out for pattern parts.

Looks quite nice, other than the sh-t black wheels. [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

The wheels did have a few scuffs so the bloke at the garage did say I could have em refurbed any colour tbh so might got gun metal grey. As for warranty I know it's mostly useless but I wouldn't be buying if I couldn't afford to look after or repair it. That's the good thing I loved the civic for all ran well
