Smile Rip off Britain


As I mentioned in my previous post, I had to take the passenger side carpet out of the car for cleaning. It's held in by about a dozen plastic push rivets (number 15 on the attached parts list) which, regardless of how carefully you do so, are pretty much screwed once removed.

Yup Honda UK spare parts prices are a rip-off.

I wanted to get the carpet back in this week, otherwise I would do just that tbh.

I'm off to the States for a holiday at the end of October and if I've still got the car I may arrange a GB and bring a bag of these things back with me (thus avoiding shipping and the dreaded tax).

I say "if" I've got the car as I'm very much at a crossroads with it at the mo. I've really tried to look after it in the 2 years Ive had it but a whole lot of things seem to be going wrong recently and I'm fast losing heart . (milk spillages aside of course cos that was my fault )

Makes you wonder how much a S2000 would cost in spare parts...
