Yes, it does look nice.... But looking at the photo's I notice the Driver's Seat Tilt Lever is on the side of the Sat Back, which is different mine, it being a Lever lower down. (Maybe they changed it because where it is the Seat Belt sometimes get caught behind it...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BN Coupe Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 That's my favourite colour, too. The price has come down a bit, which is a bit worrying because I haven't got room for another one. Bit of bodywork needed on the NSR wheel arch, but nothing major. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BN Coupe Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Recent MOT history isn't that brilliant, and suggests lack of routine maintenance. If true, I bet it's never had a cam belt change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangoman Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I thought I would post this.... https://en.shpock.com/i/WGQaStRtDeAUi0XP/?utm_campaign=User Alerts&utm_medium=mail&utm_content=alert&utm_source=alert I hope I've got the idea of this thread correct - if not just delete it please... I like the way they say the car is "Immaculate"...lol. And also some of the items in the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted December 29, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 On the basis the seller describes it as "immaculate" Bill, you certainly did - having looked at it i think maybe the "Potential Projects" thread would be better! How on earth do they justify "immaculate" when the bonnet looks like the car has been an extra in a two-wheeled drive-by shooting? The rest of it looks quite nice in fairness and perhaps the bonnet just has a vinyl wrap (it looks a different colour as well?) to give it the "Essex Boys Extra" look. As for "Clime Control", Parking Senzor and Xenon ????? Got me confused anyway..................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted December 30, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 For some reason i had it in my mind the Accord front fogs would be the sort that would slot into "pop-out" holes in the front bumper similar to these : Instead of what looks like a different version of these : I don't know if they could be modified easily enough to fit the Accord Coupé? Here's the link anyway : Actually no link - turns out they're only left hand units advertised, couldn't find a pair so probably not much help!

BN Coupe Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Terry, who I bought my HAC from, advertised it as 'in great if not exceptional condition', which attracted me far more than 'immaculate' would have done because it was honest. And true! In my experience 'immaculate' is usually about as accurate as 'full service history' or 'drives like new'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
