have you tried fixing that grille your self? looks like you started liking my favorite emoticon
I tired fixing the grill myself - but it is so fragile and I didnt want to risk breaking it completely.

Very nice pics :) Aristo the seating looks fab is that art leather? Which brand and how much did it cost ?
Thanks Bobazooka. I dont know the actual material of the seat covers. the accessories shop owner is my close relative and he said this is some imported leather. He charged me Rs. 6800 for the seat covers (labor free). He said the actual price is Rs. 7500 - I dont know how true it is [;)]

the seat covers seem worth the money.
i hope that the retention hooks on your bumper isn't damaged with the grille.
as both the times my fog lamp retention as well as hooks below the bumper joining the underbody broke ands its very fragile.
I'm thinking of putting caution fragile item stickers on my bumpers[frustration]

Must say the fitting seems very good actually! Nice work as that's a problem with covers they tend to not fit correctly.

Yes Bobazooka - they did a pretty good job in fitting the seat covers. They actually removed the seats completely and about four guys were involved in fitting the covers. They tied everything very tight and stapled as well. Dont know how long it will hold tight - But I am impressed.

I am going to fix a service appointment for the coming weekend for my first service.

Just got a call from one of my relatives. He recently bought a Honda City. He was driving to Kolar last week. Looks like there were 3 monkeys crossing the road. Two of them crossed. So he expected that the 3rd one to cross as well. But the 3rd one had other thoughts in her mind. She stopped right at the middle of the road. He had to brake heavily but couldnt avoid hitting the monkey. Guess what - his bumper broke completely. [clap] His car is now in the Honda A.S.S for a bumper replacement [:)]

wow. what speed was he at? and whats the cost of the bumper? jeez that bumper felt strong when i checked. btw most seat covers are fitted by removing the seats tying and stapling, but not every fitter can give a perfect finish to his job and your fitter did it perfectly, it looks like an oe fittment

First of all congratulations for the new ride.
I too had confusion between City and Verna.
But i opted City and you Verna :)
Few doubts.

What FE you are getting with A/C turned on (both High way and traffic)

How much for seat covers? Is it after market or OEM? Is it original leather or art leather.

Which Sun Film you are having? and its details.

Thanks Gdave! I personally like City more than the Verna [;)]

With AC on I got around 18kmpl on higways and around 10 kmpl in city. Chennai City traffic is horrible these days.

Seat Covers were around 6800. It is not original leather - some imported leather. dont know the exact material. My relative owns a car accessories shop and he recommended this brand - it is called Autolux and it is pretty good.

The sun films are from 3M SP 35 - 50% visibility. Again from the same shop for 3400.

What is the mileage that you are getting in your city? and what accessories have you added?
