Hi guys! My name is Fabio and I'm from Italy! I have a second gen Honda Fit and I'm trying to fix some body damages and then tune her up a lil'bit... i like JDM style like kanjo or similar.
If you have any suggestions I will be happy to take some help from you guys.


Thank you so much and nice to meet you!

Andiamo. Gelato. Prego.

ok that's all I've got.

Any pics of the damage? I'm guessing it's to the bumpers. Euro Fits (Jazz) have different designs than US Fits. We have a few people log on from Japan, Europe, SA, Afrika, Asia, but it's mostly yanks and canucks.

 

Please don't do anything 'Kanjo' inspired.

That style of modification is a trend that uniquely belongs on 88-00 Honda Civics...and nothing else.

 

I'd like to see the damage, if it's bumpers then you can just get some Mugen or Mugen-style stuff.

 

Of course I will not work on it with Kanjo style... I was meaning that I like how that cars work and how them are effective. I had 3 Honda Civic Vti and a Del Sol before the Fit... I respect a lot the japanese culture. I'm a tattoist here in Italy and I work with tebori too...
I really like to work on the Fit with JDM style converting it to get it more closer to the real japanese cars...

 

You forgot Pizza and Mafia!

 

These are the damages...



Hailstorm helped with it...



And a truck tyre piece with the hood... x1000



And this is the car in all... What differences there are with the japanese version?




Sorry for the pictures... Done in a rush just to reply this thread...

 

Structurally the JDM Fit should be the same as yours, accepting the same parts (bumper covers for example). Here in the states we have Pinocchio Fits; Honda made the nose longer to make insurance companies happy. The rear bumper has a different design too.

Between Japan and Europe I think they are similar. Probably different marketing, different options. But parts interchange should be 100%.

There is "paintless dent repair" that can push out the hail damage for not too much money. It's a skill and they use special tools but it can take care of most of that damage. I don't know how this would be in Italy, but here there are many private shops that do this service, some are mobile (they come to you).

Lamborghini Ferrari Maserati Spaghetti!

 

Yes we have the same here in Italy. But I swear, pictures don't show the real damage entity... Hailstorm bombed all over the roof and the hood... There are some little scratches on bumpers and the trunk is damaged by someone that hit and run when Fitty was parked... 😔 I prefear to refresh all pver the body (may be with a spoon kit... Lol)
