AUSTRALIAN! Helios Yellow GE6

Hi all,

Thought i'd post up what I drive. A GE6 Helios Yellow Honda Fit (or Jazz as they are known in Australia)

Car Model: GLI 1.3L, 4 cylinder

Currently done...

Exterior:
- OEM Honda color coded door protector garnish strips
- OEM Honda carbon look mirror cover set
- Autobacs Japan 'Carbon Red' Honda rear badge

Interior:
- Autobacs Japan 'Carbon Red' Honda steering wheel badge

Engine:
- LAST STATION intake (page 2)

Not parts but i have also got myself the JDM FIT dealer brochures and Stylewagon GE/GD book for a bit of inspiration

Bought and on the way...
- REAL Carbon Fiber steering wheel insert
- J's racing style front grill (color coded)

Yes its actually a Pearlescent Color. Its looks great in the sun and really sparkles with the pearlescent flakes in the paint job.

I bought the J's style racing grill from KENKEN on here and he is color matching it for me. So hopefully when it arrives on the first week of March (chinese new year so the factory is closed currently) it will match up with the original paint on the car. I think its a harder color to paint due to the pearl.

Are those the tails that came with it, or did you put those on? Geez, as another poster said, we get screwed on some of the options here in the U.S. What's up with that?

Although, you may want to take it back to the dealer... I think Honda screwed your car up, bud. Seems they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the dash/interior!

Heh!

Standard taillights!

Only bad thing is that I have tried to get parts e.g the T1R exhaust/intake and a few other bits and pieces from the US and shipping to Australia kills any chance to getting any of those kind of parts in the for sale section on here. Consider yourselves lucky in that aspect. I am looking at the J's racing exhaust at the moment as its cheaper than to order a T1R from the states.

Should be able to take out the grill on the GE6. But you have to take of the bumper first apparently.

Thanks Marc! Yes I bought Marc's Last Station intake. I think the intake & J's exhaust (still to come...eventually) will be the only power mods I will be doing. Not worth going crazy in this area IMHO.

I hate you. We don't get that beautiful color in the US market. I'll bet it looks even better in the flesh than in the photos. Beautiful.
