I have bought uncountable items from china since many years and so far haven't payed for customs. However, those all were small items like led bulbs, small car accessories, lcd & digitizers for mobiles and etc.
These Chinese sellers always mark the parcels as gift and a least item value so you wouldn't face custom troubles. Otherwise, if the item costs more then 20$ and/or is a heavy item and/or big packing and/or item coming from west (i.e USA, UK, Canada), then there is more chances of getting held in customs and adding duties.

I feel, it is not only that our dress sense & attitude reflects our personality; there are some more … one such is our car key!
The car key is the one which is much abused, neglected, uncared, and we miss to note that it reflects the image of the person who owns a car!
Yes, you have read already my story (Here: PART V: MY REMOTE LOCK STORY ) that I did not get factory fitted remote key control, so I went for aftermarket one.
The remote switch buttons are in a separate unit and not on the key itself as noted in OE one. I was searching for a pouch for the key & remote unit.
The original key chain with ‘H’ emblem came along with the car is a simple one, nothing extraordinary.
First I ordered this one a year before and it attracted my wife more than me as it looked beautifully feminine, embedded with artificial diamonds in gold plated base, she reserved it for her proposed Honda activa scooter!
Next my search ended with this one and I felt it ok to me!
This is comparatively cheaper @ aliexpress, quality is good, good quality art leather and even with a hook for our pants belt loops.

When kept on the table, no doubt it is elegant, enhances the images of the man who owns an ANHC.
Hehe…!!!

Well, I seem to have lost my spare Honda city Key. From what i've heard it will cost me at least Rs. 4,000 to be replaced and is a lengthy process. Are there any short cuts - I mean less cost and less cumbersome process than going through the authorised showroom.
Hello Friends,
How are you all? Hope your well and enjoying life with your car(s).
Today I bought new wiper blades from Bosch dealer. Model: Clear Advantage, Size: 24" and 14", Cost: Rs. 760/-
Installed already and they are looking very decent. Quality is good but need to see its durability on summer days.
After installation:
Box:
Stock wiper blade sizes (Bosch wiper box has a scale printed!):
Well, the keys of Honda City are immobilizer based, not just laser cut.
In-case of lost spare key,
One has to buy a new key,
Laser cut the blade like original key,
Then put the original key into the car key socket and the spare (new) key tied to it,
Using ECU software, reprogram the keys settings,
By doing this, first ECU keys settings gets cleared and then some code present in the keys gets stored back into the ECU and that specific keys can only start the engine.
This thing can only be done by those who have ECU programming system and software. Mostly car dealers and some 3rd party car service centers, but its a risky job. Better if done only by experts.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Even my car needs new wiper blades, changing first time(after 1.5years), the original Honda wipers were doing good job till few days back. Now those are worn out.
I have gone through page 28, planing to buy from Hell brand but after looking at cracing's post now I m confused between HELLA DynaEdge Wiper Blade and Clear Advantage.
Dr.Mudhan how the wiper blades of Albus doing?

I am really happy about their performance, quality & look.
MY ALBUS GETS NEW & NEWER TYPE WIPER BLADES!
But HELLA DynaEdge Wiper Blade are expensive, all most double the price of what CRACING bought.
Purchased from Bosch dealer- Model: Clear Advantage, Size: 24" and 14", Cost: Rs. 760/- is really a wise choice. Go for them.
Though Bosch has many versions of wiper blades, they claim Clear Advantage is best suited for Indian conditions.

Actually I did search for frame-less Bosch wiper blades on different online shopping sites but I couldn't find one, just because I searched for Aerotwin thinking its the only frame-less wiper blade made by Bosch. My bad I should have checked main Bosch website so I wouldn't be regretted now.
Jazzmyride aka storeji is a major seller and he is the one who sells Bosch wiper blades on some online shopping sites including his own. However, he made a mistake in attaching a product picture in his listing, especially on ebay. It shows a framed wiper blade whereas Clear Advantage is a frame-less.
Last time when I had bought horns from Bosch dealer, I asked for frame-less wiper blade and he said, its around Rs. 800 and I never thought a frame-less wiper blade would be cheap as listed by Jazzmyride either.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Hello Dr,
am new to this forum, Joined just now. Planning to upgrade my ride and already finalized Honda city based on your review.
you rock Doc.

Hello friends,
Be careful when cleaning the black color dashboard. i.e Top surface of the dashboard as well as steering cover assembly. You might have believed its totally made of black plastic but the fact is, its a beige color plastic/fiber with black color painted. So if you use a harsh chemical, cloth and/or rub hard, the black paint wears off and beige color gets highlighted.
How I have noticed this: Today I was changing the god idol that was on the dashboard and when I tried to clean the residue of double side tape, the black started wear. Soon as I noticed, got shocked, how can Honda do like this! Painting black color on beige color plastic/fiber.![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
Anyhow, the new god idol covered the wear.
Thanks...

In ebay those were available but 300 rupees for 1 and only black color.
Ordered 2 for 340 rupees, red and black. Although for 900 one can buy 10 covers.(another seller)

Was going to order the same when someone from another forum stopped me as storeji had supplied him with normal blades instead of CA
