For eveyones info. As Paul (Partsboy) is knocking this stuff at cost basically, don't be afraid to try the same on with your dealer, my Brilliant dealer has promised me the same deal on pads / filters. (Parts department overheard on the phone saying 'but thats cost, no mark-up!!' )
In addition, he said if we let them charge a 1/2 hour to fit them ~ 27.50 inc VAT he would bleed my brakes of the standard brake fluid and fill with my synthetic DOT5 i'm going to provide, at that time
Not a bad deal I think.
This was after picking the car up with 4 brand new alloys fitted with two brand new front S02's free. (I'd bought the tyres last week

I went to the service dept. Parked then rolled back to show the one wheel with about 20mm by 5 mm corrosion on (the rest just really had baked in brake dust ), he took two photos, rang Honda and next day they okayed it!

I know that I can go into a Honda Dealership tomorrow and get 4 new wheels. No hassle, easy-peasy! (I have been offered the wheels)
So what is my problem? I hear you ask......................I dont want 4 new wheels which will again dissolve on contact with water. I want a properly finished set of alloys, befiting a car Honda charges
