UK to now get Type R Black Edition (only available on last 100 made so could be a real collector's item):
Have to say, whilst I'm not keen on the exterior, the interior looks far classier than the standard car in my opinion. Type R should never have had those red seats from the start by the looks of things as this looks far nicer inside:
It's worth it. They give you a lot of optional extras for free. Also brilliant black seats. And much better price than 39 000eur in europe. If I was currently looking for fk2 in the UK wouldn't think twice.
I agree from the outside is hate or love it. But than european model have red side mirrors as well, yours only red wing. Why they skipped red side mirrors for UK, it's somehow wrong red wing only.
I love my mirrors and black seats. Red seats were too bright red for my 99% sunshine summer and spring time. They would be too much in your face around here.
Show off :grin2:
What a amazing bit of Road, with an equally stunning view!
As for a extra red, I don't mind it. Not alternating the set-up or adding power is wise choice, as it would upset all the owners of the 'standard' FK2 who brought their car as the ultimate Civic.
Ford to that all the time. Eg "This is our new RS, the ultimate fastest Focus ever".. then a month later.. "this is our new RS500 the ultimate Focus".. same as before but with a bit more power and a larger price tag.
Ford have been known to 'detune' performance cars to allow them to sell you it again for more at a later date, all the same bits, but with an extra percent of power.
Agree on both of you. @Sherrec thanks. this is end of september just after my delivery.
Waiting spring and summer for some nicer photos of my fk2 because delivery date was 19 of september -> autumn -> winter -> uglier scenery. And the scenery around my area is pretty nice as is on the photo. I will show with time.
This nice long straight is just 2 mile away from my town and even better on my way to my village. Don't tell the cops but I do 240km/h on it (I enter it from the west side with only 90-95km/h). I believe it's 0.7 miles long (piece of heaven). Always zero traffic (as shown). Cheers friends.

With 14hrs a day 39 degree sun and 1hr per month rain I would hate the super bright red ones *** seeing 1st thing in my car the seats from 100miles away. Don't get me wrong I would hate the black ones If I were in less sunny country. So 50/50 I love both.
I love the red seats and to me they scream type R, I also really like the ones above, but to me It's not enough to class it as a final run limited edition.
A limited edition they could of, added a new colour, or even saved the Cw colour for this final run, added more power, track version, complete interior overhaul, approached mugen,
This car was meant to be their "game changer" bringing the type R forward, the few yrs of marketing building up to it's release and they end it with an afterthought, Honda have been lazy here and they know it
Yeah but they are predominately black which makes them look far classier in my opinion than the standard R. However, it's a personal thing, and if you prefer the standard car, then that's fine, you're entitled to disagree. :smile3:
shame you cant get the red air vent trims. i kinda like the look of them, even if they are a bit out of focus. Pictures above make it look like they're anodised aluminium rather than plastic
In person they do look like anodized aluminium. Ofcourse they are plastic, but it's so top quality made they really almost fooled me they are aluminium 1st time I got into the car under good light.
I liked the look of the seats when i first saw them in the photos, having seen them in a car at the showroow over xmas, i thought it made the interior look quite dark.
i've not seen them available online yet, but i think they're far more elegant than the big red air vent covers currently available. keep us updated on price&availability if you do find out.
