Restoring Honda City 2008

[waleed96]

That's the problem as I'm reluctant to get whole doors painted. The color is Silky Silver.

[AkbarGr8]

I would recommend Yazdani motor works.

[chinyoti]

No matter even if they paint half the door they will spray clear lacquer on the entire door to match.

2 doors shouldn't be an issue you can get them repaired as per liking, the car would look clean

[waleed96]

I've heard good about them and Delta Motors too. Although Yazdani prioritizes insurance cars.

[waleed96]

What about color matching as Silver is most difficult to match.

[AkbarGr8]

Insurance work is mostly disliked - the company haggles over pricing and pays bottom for jobs performed. Delayed payments another aspect. I've seen times where they completely switched over to cash even for insurance jobs, customer had to be reimbursed by insurance later on.

I'd say cash is King

[chinyoti]

Yazdhani would prefer painting a complete side. Anyways not good experience with Yazdhani. Silver shouldn't be a difficult color to match. In my opinion white and silver should be the easiest.

I'd say again try out suzuki danish motors they do decent jobs to.

[waleed96]

Thanks. I'll look into Danish Motors. I got my Alto from Danish Motors too and the service was pretty great.
Btw you've done a great job with the City money and time well spent, you've added another 10 to 15 years (if kept carefully) of lifespan to it!
Also, how much is the car driven till date?

[chinyoti]

Thankyou, the cars driven only 160,000 kms.

I have got a couple of cars from them too. Btw they are servicing cars by appointment only in these days. Do call and check.

Nice. I once got the bonnet replaced from bilal gunj, got it for 12,000 and was painted afterwards. Got engine assembly from bilal gunj for around 20,000 (settled the old one in this price).

Can you tell me which shocks (all 4) you got? New or used. New me bhi Honda se liye ya kisi or company k (taiwan etc) or used kis category k?

I need all four shocks for my City 2007. Mae brand new lena chah rha hu, Lahore me pta kiya he Honda se, un k paas nahi hein. What other options do I have for new shocks?

[chinyoti]

Honda doesnt have parts for this model now.

Search for agriautos on facebook they can help you. They are OEM suppliers for all local cars shock absorbers.

For me my mechanic got these honda shock absorbers they are probably Thailand made.

[pwuser150141418016]

Agriautos supply Toyota and Suzuki shocks. Your mechanic got these used shocks or were these shocks brand new?

[chinyoti]

These are brand new., never buy used shocks rather never buy any parts that depreciates with usage.
