2009 Honda Accord Sportspack

For those who’d find the 2009 Euro Accord’s looks a tad uninspiring, Honda is offering a sport package for both Sedan and Tourer variants. The baodykit includes front and rear sport bumpers with matching side skirts along with a front sports grille and an aerodynamic boot spoiler (only for saloon), all available in the car's bodywork colour. In addition to the body accessories, Honda has developed a new range of alloy wheels including sporty 18" designs and titanium trim décor for the interior. -Pics after the jump
