Colours Few red cars - Red rocks!

odyseus17 · 26th July 2007, 22:06

Hi!

Just bought a red civic today. Not only 'cause I like the color, but also 'cause the color is different to the majority of cars in Germany. Just look on mobile.de & you'll find 20.000 red 2nd hand cars (2002-2007), vs. 99.000 blue, 170.000 black and 192.000 silver ones (!). Red rocks

How is this elsewhere

Not a fan of red cars but the Civic looks striking. Saw a few today, they were really bright.

If I had red, the plastic trim would have to match.

l-noel · 27th July 2007, 09:24

I like the red one... It was my first choice (Easier to found)

It must be RED!

The red does look nice on the Type R, fully colour coded. But I am not keen on the red with the black plastic trim.

Charles_Harding · 27th July 2007, 11:35

I think that the red is one of the few colours that the grey trim does justice!

An astute observation

Red is fantastic, but I agree. The Plastic trim, must be colour coded for me! Saying that, I have never owned a Red car ever. I have however owned lots of cars in Black, White or Blue!

johnjilljam@tiscali.co.uk · 27th July 2007, 15:55

Red with image pack is the best

I look forward to seeing pictures of you car. I think this will be the first colour coded red Type S.

pete23 · 28th July 2007, 11:51

hi, is thats yours in the blue, looks the part too , i might go down the type r route later thts why i choose the red and i never had a red car before so thought it would be nice for a change

robbo51 · 28th July 2007, 16:38

Heres mine but not colour coded.

Just had rear parking sensors fitted and now I'm skint.
I think it would look good colour coded.
You must post some pics.
BTW have you thought about having the Type R grill fitted?
It looks awesome on a red car!!
Trouble is, its about £250 and thats not fitted!!
Good luck on Friday

The RED + black trim looks fantastic, great colour combination.
I would never ever change it.
Furthermore the black trim is more scratch resistant.
Looks much better than the type R.

I had to buy a champagne one cince I wanted the beige interiour... But I love the RED
I do have the RED toy Civic

(received it for free when the car was delivered).
My first Civic was red

Did you have to keep leaning agaiinst it so it didn't fall off the blocks? What were you doing you needed it that high off the ground? Camping under it!
