I had a similar dent on my Getz on the roof. Saw it one fine day. I left it as it was. After a couple of days, I forgot all about it.

Haruh, I can understand how it feels when the ride gets a scar for no fault of yours.

Coming to your question of rectification of dent, I guess, the best option would be to pay visit to a renowned body shop. I am, sure, Honda will give you a huge estimate since the entire roof needs a pint job (same words used throughout their dealership network). I am sure, there would be some good bodyshops in Mumbai.

Mumbai members, please help him out.

Thanks a lot for your kind replies. As i said first i'll try Honda while next service which is to be due in the end of this month. If it not works then tried out with some local body shops and If they are also come up with very big solution then will leave it as it is.

Congrats HaruH for new add on. Car is looking more elegant now.

Is this antenna dummy or active ?
Please share the pricing info also.
Thanks alfa alfa.
Yes antenna is 100% active with same function like OEM antenna on the car.
I got it from Aliexpress.com as stated in the Dr MUDHAN thread. I am giving you the link of the product which will give you all the ideas for price and colors.

would grey be a safe bet for my ut honda city??
I think so, because it suits the best among all colors. So give it try, If it's not properly you can repaint it at local body shop for around 100 Rs. but mismatching possibility is very less.

How do you pay for items bought from aliexpress? Credit or debit card? And how long does it take for the item to reach India? Any customs duty to be paid?

International payment can be done from India by using Credit card only, at-least my experience. It take almost 27 days to reach the item at my place, but roughly it'll take 20 to 40 days. No custom duty for such small items, for more information go on the link given by alfa alfa apart from that Dr MUDHAN can provide more inputs on the topic.
If you want to make payment by debit card then I have another option which allow me to do that, If you want information on that then PM me.

Today done with my 3rd free service at 3980 KM, Oil change done with filter for the 1st time.
No problems or niggles in the car till now.
Total service cost= Rs. 1538/- (Including PUC)

Not much happy with the service experience like last two's. This time they didn't clean up the car properly, many hand marks on the windshield. Didn't touch up the roof dent which they have promise to do. Pushing very hard for polishing.

Overall Rating: 6/10 [anger]


I want to know that has new vehicle have PUC for one year for 6 months.

Congratulations!

How easy is it to fix and remove the original? Does it affect warrantee on the Honda City since this requires playing around with electrical wires?

After the 3rd or 4th service, you should see slight improvement in FE.
During my 3rd free service I also got the 3M treatment done for the underbody. It has a 5 year warrantee. They say in addition to water it protects against small pebbles etc. hitting & damage.

Pride Honda did a fine job. They even followed up with a call to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.

Good to know that the duster works well. If you are recommending it so much, I may also look at getting it from ebay. How do you clean it after it gets dirty...just wash it with water or no cleaning required? How many sweeps does it last before the wax / polish / static gets used after which we need to get a new one.

Removing original is not a big task because it's fixed on the base using threads so you can remove it like screw (reason for it gets stolen on many cars), no need to remove base. The shark fin is designed in such a way that you can fix it on base only. No warranty issue because it's plug and play device so if any problem occurs you can fit your original antenna again.
I have notice yesterday at S.C. original one cost Rs. 1438/- so for people who suffers with stolen antenna this could be good and cheap option.

Recently when went to my native place i got 17.3 KMPL of average on MID which reflects around 16.5 in actual (All ghat roads) so i don't think i can get better then that, as per your words hope it'll increase more. [clap]I don't think any under body protection is required for these cars, My old Honda City type 2 is of 14 years of age now but still today no sign of any rust or damage to under-body despite she scraps many times on the speed bumps.

Arya Honda did good job on previous services but this time I don't no whats wrong with those people, I think I have denied polishing so they didn't attend car properly. Will post -ve feedback on the followup call.

You can watch many videos on Youtube for duster, it works really well and main thing is that didn't leave any scratches. Previously i washed my car in 2,3 days interval but after started using duster i only wash car when needed, mostly after 10 days.
For cleaning you need to rains it into fresh water for 2,3 times and leave it to gets dry.
