Thanks Arvi! Have been driving some cool rides in past two weeks! Audi A4 3.2 TFSI and F10 BMW 525d, I will post my experience with these ladies in a separate thread. In a nutshell, I need to work much harder in order to make that kind of money, I am sure someday I will drive one of those!!!

Hey Taran, Thanks buddy. Your 320d too, looks sharp with those cosmatic changes! And thank you for the suggestions, I doubt if I can loose chrome on door handles without buying another set of Civic 'S' trim handles. I had also bought black badges for my Shark, they are still with me but the quality is very poor, so didn't take out the originals!
Anyway, I am going to black out the front chrome grill, will add to the manace looks.
Some more pics I took over last couple of days! Monsoon season has been on full swing and it has been showering with enough grace a couple of times and I have been enjoying the long drives in rains to the core!
Let me kick off with a couple of pics of the dirty Shark! My shiny baby, pics were taken during a lovely evening drive.... A pic of Tacho Needle bouncing on Rev-Limiter in 3rd gear... Caution: Not for weak hearted Civic owners!
Pics in this thread can make anyone believe that I am a lucky dog racing my Civic on sweet looking straights and ribbons of asphalt, but
hold your breath!!! My Shark has also driven through conditions like this...
The other day I was crossing the same stretch, it was raining. I had no choice but to get in. There was a T-Fort jammed up and stuck on the same road, the condition was such! Thankfully Shark made it through but the results are expectedly bad, my front skirt is busted at the moment I am typing this! Will get the car washed and check if I can get it repaired somehow!
Also, sorry for the poor quality phone pics!
A general query for which Delhiites could help me out! The idea of getting my Shark re-painted in Milano Red is all over my mind. Please suggest which would be the best place to get it done! I want that perfect paint finish on my Shark.
Can't wait for the day my lady will look similar to this............
Oh God, Mercy for the crowd that is going to give my shark a long stare!
Now, time for some questions:
1. I have recently noticed during late night long drives that the central dashboard (CD player and surroundings) gets pretty hot!
During day time, it is normal but it is really warm during night as soon as I turn the lights on. Is it normal or am I smelling something fishy here? The temperatures are NOT normal by any means.
2. I have a feeling my car's clutch has got a bit hard recently. It used to be like stepping on a marsh mallow earlier, but not anymore! Same is with the slick gear shifts. Should I get the clutch checked and transmission oil replaced on next due service?
Wating for the replys eagerly and again, apologies for such a long post....
