    1985 Accord LX ?

    TBH, I have tried very hard to identify if this car is a 1986 Honda Accord as it is registered. Or, if it is a 1985 Austrailian LX model as it does not have the concealed lights.


    Could someone please inform me!

    Heres the photos:

    Also could I stick 15" on this beast without any real difficulty?

    Not a bad looking ride right there! Yeah, that's actually an 85 at the latest. Definitely a 2nd Gen. You should have no problem fitting some 15s on there. Bascially anything that will fit a Civic or Integra will bolt right onto that guy no problem. Welcome to 3geez! Hope you stick around!

    Thanks guys!! I scored the car off a friend of the missus and it actually is a really nice ride with only 145k KM's only the clock.

    I think I might stick some Integra 15" on it + give it a decent paint job.

    Oh and I tried to fix a huge dent in the bumper (I'll upload a photo) but I think I'll need a replacement. Do only 2nd gen bumpers fit or are there any other models that have a compatible bumper?

    A sure way to find out if its an 86 is to look at the VIN# on the car.

    Yeah I assumed NZ was way behind so it def is a 2nd gen. Does anyone know if a 1986 civic hatchback front bumper would fit on this beast, as they look the same?

    Civic bumper probably won't fit. The Accord was a bit bigger than the 3g Civic.

    yeah the accord looks a bit wider. could try an integra one but it will probably look too modern on the old 2g

    What about a 3g accord front bumper, reckon that'd do the trick?

    Probably too wide, but could be cut down and rejoined. Mounting might be totally different though.
