Hi to all in the forum Received my Copen 1.3 yesterday after looking about for a fun summer car. Only knew they existed a week or 2 ago. I'm from S.Wales and 56..... boys toys Only 30k miles and it's mint. Just wondering where I could get one of those exhaust heat guards, don't think I need anything else at the moment and looked on ebay etc but the only place seems to be Japan.
There's one from Kiessel & Schmidt but it's pretty expensive! £213. Kiessetz & Schmidt Onlineshop - Exhaust Pipe Cover I'm told you can get them from Rakuten for £130 plus postage and fees, which I'd guess around £15-20, plus VAT and import maybe, unless you used Zenmarket and accidentally missed a figure off your package value which they allow you to enter yourself...oops, I did that with my bits from Japan and paid nothing. ;-) There's some little chrome surrounds if you want cheap bling TWFS Handel- und Dienstleistungsservice - Chrom cover for exhaust - Daihatsu Copen
Thanks for the links. I've emailed a seller on Yahoo.jp. I'll wait to see if I get a reply. About the same price as Rakuten (they're on backorder there)
It's grey I've never seen the 659cc Copen's in that colour before, so I think it might be exclusive to the 1.3's. Pls correct me if I'm wrong
ahhhhh yeah that would be typical as I really like that colour...but will have to get a 659 as i have been told that there aren't any 1.3 autos :-(
Quick search found me an Ultimate Edition in Grey, I suspect Japan got some color choices we didn't. Or it might be a respray, but looks original. DAIHATSU COPEN ULTIMATE EDITION | 2007 | GRAY M | 105,010 km | details.- Japanese used cars.Goo-net Exchange
This is a list of colors from a Copen brochure in Japan, dated 2004. I translated the color names. Attached are brochures from South Africa & the UK, from 2004 I think. Colors: white; champagne metallic pearl - new for 2004?; smoke grey pearl - new for 2004?; bright silver metallic; shining red; pearl white; brilliant (jaune) yellow; dark green mica; dark blue mica metallic.
purple was added in the later years. I'll have to dig around, search for when purple came out. It was often with the Ultimate edition.
