guys...

stupid me, i go and put the anti-slip mat on my dashboard on top of the centre aircond vent...

now my dashboard plastic got mark/stain already....

any way to remove it? RM2 anti-slip mat can cause so much trouble... sigh...i straight away throw it away....

how much is the cost to replace the dashboard piece? not the whole dashboard, but the piece above the aircond wan...i think that piece cover around the steering wheel as well...

use water wash a few times?
aih..i use wet cloth...wipe very hard
but still there
end up leave more marks...because i wipe too hard...haha

hehe...good idea to leave back the anti slip mat...but then...it might stick too well and then the mark will be worse...

right now...there's a faint mark on my dashboard can be visible at certain angle...so ok la... i just leave it as it is...

anyone here tried asking how much is the replacement for the dashboard?

ok guys... after asking around... i managed to get some extra info... apparently...you can respray your internal dashboard....all you need is to go to those dealer workshop... those of you from penang.... you can try

I just called the tauke today and he told me they can do the internal spray painting... how much? depends on the area... and also since they closing shop now for CNY, i will only ask further once they reopen the shop...but the tauke told me they will respray back to original paint... sounds interesting...i will definitely consider this... i cannot tahan see my new car with the anti-slip mat spots around the dash... very sad see that....

also, my friend who told me about this, he say that the spraying also no need to take out the internal dashboard, i guess they just spray inside only the area where the paint peel off... will ask more....and update here... most likely 2 weeks after CNY...

hoo hooo hoooo....

ok guys, happy CNY !!!

congrats kingkong...i got the same color as ur car as well...looks nice eh... i really love the sparkle gray...hehehe.....

i hope so... but it's also dark color..very easy to notice stain and swirls etc as well...

yo electron bro,

any idea of the shop name/location/contact no at island wan?

if no, i still have to go to the one at mainland...

^k^

sad to hear that but this thing happens to other ppl as well...
what you can do is collect the scratches over 1 to 1.5 yrs and then after that send to shop for touch up repaint....

next time park inside ur own house or ur gf own hse if possible...

aiyah...my 1 week old city... i put the anti-slip mat thing...already dashboard got stain marks dot dot dot dot dot dot... make me headache fill with dot dot dot dot inside my head...

also now got a few bird shit stain...hard to remove..i am sending my car for polishing tomorrow liao...after i see some other ppl's auto detailing pics...i lau nua also.... when the car is new...better polish and admire the beauty of it...shining and see the reflection at the car surface...haha...after a few years..no more liao lor.... maybe after 2 yrs not so shiny anymore...kekeke....

for the carpet mat, i also buy the custom cut wan...but no honda letter printed la...cost me RM123....

last wednesday i went for service and i saw a list of maintainance price list...it's like a table stating the expected cost for every service interval..

for a standard 5k service, the average cost is around RM150 if i'm not mistaken...then the most expensive service is during 40k or 60k or 80k service which i can't remember, but it's around RM700+... that's the highest cost i saw....

dude, if you don't mind paying a bit more...go to Golden, it's a shop behind Hong Leong near the big Bukit Jambul roundabout... you know the new shop lot place called i-Avenue? the Hong Leong bank over there, behind it only...

you go find Uncle Yeoh...he already fix a lot of City cars so i bet he knows what to do already without spoiling anything...
me also planning to fix my ICE there...but now waiting for the replacement panel for my built in CD player...

installation charge pretty standard...probably RM30?
u have to ask...

no harm asking...

if totally no discount and cannot get car before March..
then i think you can cancel and go book somewhere else

the windnoise issue, i think not all cars got la...my car don't have wind noise...but the aeroplane sound...well...i think if turn off radio and listen carefully, then can notice it...it's like a high pitch humming sound...

but i think too many ppl kena this aeroplane sound liao and i think i read before this is normal for CVT cars...so since it's not that loud, i just 'close one eye' or should i say 'ear'? and don't bother much bout it...hehe


jinyee,

you can replace ur integrated audio, i have heard at least 2 ppl from teamcity forum changing their integrated audio, all you have to do is just go to honda SC and order from them the old plastic panel...
i'm planning to change also soon...but a bit scared if it can void my car's warranty...hehe

unfortunately no....u need to buy external mp3 player or use your phone with 3.5mm audio jack and connect it to the Aux input for Vtec model city...hehe...

Added on February 26, 2008, 7:55 pmmy vtec around RM70 can go about 400km to 420km... but i'm usually stuck at jams la when going to work and coming back to work at penang island...

if use highway...i'm sure can easily hit at least 550km for RM70 petrol...and maybe easily get near to 600km....
