i got the 2008 type r, cant say i have had any probs that some have had, 3rd gear, rattles etc.

Only gripe the paint is still thin and doesnt half scratch easily.

Still if your going fast enough no one notices

What differences are there between the 2007 and the 2008 type R

And congratulations on your new car!

They have changed the foot rest, not the wells. So the drivers mat has had to be changed to fit properly

I noticed the steering wheel release is different as well, went for where it was in the demo car I drove, and it was on the other side at the back....

I suppose that is because of knee protection reasons.

Sporran · 5th February 2008, 17:20

had mats fitted they are standard 08 mats, dealer ordered a normal set to tie me over till the Type R Premiums arrive. Nice of them

Anyone here with an 08 have 08 premium mats?

charlas · 5th February 2008, 17:23

What these ones?

Sporran · 5th February 2008, 21:58

ummm may call honda uk see whats happening, i do believe my dealer black mats dont look that bad

Nice mats btw

charlas · 5th February 2008, 22:19

Thanks

good luck with the mats

sw65 · 5th February 2008, 22:23

charlas · 6th February 2008, 20:00
