Well well, it’s been a while since I last updated this topic.
I have not been so active on the forum lately, cause life has just been so ‘active’.
A lot has changed since my last post:
travelled the world...
Found myself an American girl...
Brought her over to Belgium...
Moved to an appartment...
Got married last summer...
Moved into a house...
And had a beautiful baby boy in January…
Heck! I’ve even sold my EK9!
Without a doubt the best and most enjoyable car I’ve ever owned.
But there’s a time for everything, so after a whole lot of doubting, decided to sell it anyway.
The new owner is a definite Honda enthusiast like me, and is taking extreme good care of it, so that makes me happy.
So, wife and a baby —> time for a 4-door car!!
I’ve always liked a Honda Jazz, and the totally different look the car can get with the right set of aftermarket parts.
So, a couple months ago, I bought myself a
2005 GD1 Jazz Sport!
Here are a few photo’s:
This is how I bought it:
I didn’t like the side- and bumper protectors at all, so they had to come off.
They’re pretty easy to remove. A blow dryer, and some patience did the trick:
I was afraid of color fading, since the car’s 10 years old, but I guess Storm silver is a pretty stable color.
NO color fading at all.
(so if anyone ever doubts to remove side protectors like this: no worries!!)
The only thing you notice is the “edges” of the protector strips. The dust that gets caught on the edges grinds away the clearcoat a little bit.
So I gave the car a good polish with cutting compound and stuff, and it all came out alright!
No trace of the side protectors whatsoever!
Also found myself a set of white MUGEN MF10L wheels!!
I really like the look of these wheels on a Jazz.
They’re pretty rare though. Found this pair in New Zealand!!!!!
The seller had just refurbished them, so they look brand new!
I also lowered the car with an Eibach PRO kit (-30 mm).
My son Finn approves ;-)
