Automatically translated from the Russian article.
The Honda Civic and Subaru Forester have different tasks, even with the same front end damage. For the Civic, you need to set the body type and market. For Forester, drive performance, optics and EyeSight camera configuration are added to the list. This procedure helps to make an accurate request for body parts, optics and assemblies from the UAE.
Honda Civic and CR-V. What to indicate for a search
On the Civic of the same generation there are different bodies. For example, for the tenth generation in the ads you can find a sedan, hatchback and coupe. Before buying a door, rear lamp or trunk lid, specify the body and side. If you need a headlight, additionally determine the year of release, configuration and type of light source. A photo of the back of the case shows the mounting locations, electrical connectors and modules, which can be sold separately.
For CR-V, generation and drive are first defined. For the sixth generation, Honda describes for the United States a turbocharged engine of 1.5 liters and a hybrid plant with a gasoline engine of 2.0 liters. Honda with a turbo engine of 1.5 liters in the search you can find the codes of the L15 family. The full engine suffix, box marking and tourniquet version are checked by car. For a hybrid, specify what kind of node is needed, and before purchase, discuss the possibility of installation with a specialized workshop.
When looking for the front of the CR-V, write down what survived the impact. In the estimate, it is useful to separate the cladding, amplifier, headlights, radiators, fans, tourniquet and fasteners. The outdoor photo of the seller does not always show whether the internal ducts, grilles and supports are included. If you purchase only a radiator, compare the number and location of pipes, fixation points and variant for a particular power plant.
Subaru Forester and Outback. Generations, motors and transmissions
Forester, the designations SJ and SK are often used. Outback has BS and BT in the queries. They are useful in the initial search for doors, headlights and ancillary components elements. Exact variant is verified by VIN. For the Outback, it is important to additionally name the complete set if there are special pads on the bumper and wings. Buying a door or trunk lid, ask to take a photo of the interior panel, connectors and drive, if it is provided.
In a number of versions of Subaru, there are atmospheric flattened engines of the FB family, including the FB25, and turbo engines of the FA family, including the FA24 on the corresponding versions of the Outback. If you need an engine, send the marking of the actual unit. In the request for a variator, you need its full code and car data. Even with externally similar enclosures, applicability, conjugated nodes and control configuration differ. On the gearbox, additionally check the gear ratio, especially if part of the transmission has already changed.
Selection by photo is useful when the marking of the lining or a separate bracket is lost. Take a general picture of the car and a close-up of the site. From the undamaged side, you can understand the shape of the neighboring elements. If there is a repair order-outfit with a list of positions, attach it and note what details the workshop has already found.
GCC, Europe and the United States. Optics, equipment and donor
The year and model do not disclose regional specifications. Honda from the UAE and the United States primarily compare lighting functions, headlight marking, side markers, type of connector and the presence of blocks. For the CR-V, it is useful to check the location of Honda Sensing equipment if the part you are looking for is near the camera or radar. On Subaru, EyeSight equipment is separately viewed. If the glass is bought under the camera, you need a compatible bracket and optical zone, and the workshop checks the procedure in advance after installation.
A donor for sale in Dubai can be imported from another country. When ordering, ask for its VIN, if available, and photo stickers. For right-hand drive donors, optics, panel harnesses and steering elements are separately checked. The exterior part may have a similar shape, but the decision is made by specific mounts and number. On the mirror, for example, matter side, camera, heating and connector, even if the outer cover is the same.
If the car is restored after an accident, the factory catalog helps to understand the original equipment, and the photo shows the actual one. In the request, write whether you need to return the car to the original variant or pick up the part to the already replaced front part. This affects the composition of the order: additional guides, inserts and mounts are possible.
Inspection of used parts and frequent errors
On the headlights inspect the sealant around the perimeter, the edges of the lens, traces of moisture and fastening. Request the marking of the block and the housing separately. The picture of the switched on passing beam does not show the status of all functions. If verification is possible, list the necessary modes. At the trunk lid, check the place of attachment of the hinges, the edge under the glass, the lock and the presence of a tourniquet. From the variator, check the possibility of diagnosis on the donor, visible damage and available information about the work before removal.
A common mistake is to order electronics by matching chips. Ask for a photo of the entire label and give it to the installer. Another mistake is to buy a drive or gearbox marked “AWD” without checking the marking, position and gear ratio. For the body, a similar error occurs when ordering a door without glass, tourniquet and skinning, when the buyer expects a fully completed part. It is better to write down the composition before comparing prices.
A separate task is to collect the front part after damage. For the Civic, check the internal guides, underwings, bottom duct and splashers. For Forester and Outback, check the decorative linings and their mounting locations, especially if the donor is from another trim. Ask to remove the fastener next to the details so that it is clear which clips and holders are included in the kit. If you purchase parts from different machines, bring the photos to one list. Let the installer check the pairings before the order: the bottom lining should approach its lining, and the optics and ducts should approach the front panel.
For electrical parts, it is useful to write down the initial symptom. For example, if the camera does not work in the mirror, first check whether the tourniquet master has checked the doors. If only the decorative overlay is defective, you may not need to buy a mirror assembled. When changing the entire node, separately agree on the calibration or setting, if required by the documentation.
Packaging, itinerary and ordering procedure
The headlights protect the mounts and exclude movement inside the box. The door is fixed with the protection of the edges, the variator and the engine are fixed on a solid base. The units close the open channels and specify the requirements for the residues of liquids in advance. If you order optics together with a heavy unit, agree in advance on a separate fixation so that when moving cargo seats, the pressure does not fall on a fragile part.
Air reference to Russia and Belarus is 5-10 days and $12-20 per kg. The container to Moscow is about a month, a landmark of $ 1.8-3.5 per kg. We confirm the cost and terms separately, we calculate a specific route for Kazakhstan and other CIS countries. There is no minimum order value. A commission of 10% is charged on parts. Packaging, transportation and customs are paid separately.
At optics for a pair of headlights separately coordinate the appearance. On used parts, the lenses may vary in degree of turbidity, and one headlight could be repaired. Ask to put both headlights side by side in the same lighting. If you only need one, add a photo of the car. For salon parts, a similar check is needed by color, texture and condition of the fasteners. On the trunk lid, separately ask about the condition of the tourniquet in the zone of transition from the body to the lid.
To order a lantern for a hatchback, additionally check whether the desired section is on the wing or lid. If the seller offers both sections, agree on each separately.
