I have also ordered beige but leader interior.

I got my Champagne silver three weeks ago - the best colour available in my opinion. But why are the choices so boring? I wanted yellow, purple or green, but instead they offer almost identical greys and silvers. With such a great shape as the civic, it would be good to have some bolder colours - like some of the ones on the photoshopped pics on this forum.

There is a rumor on the CR-V forum that the CR-V's are to get Deep Bronze as a colour option for '08 I just wonder if the 5 door civic may get the Deep Bronze option?

Hi. I'm from Belgium and I went to an official dealer today, I confirm it seems the vivid blue will no more be available in our country (at least for the 5-door version). They will propose the Royal blue pearl (only available with the type-s today) instead or some orange...but i've asked about the champagne silver and it seems it would be available in 08...

jayt43 · 9th September 2007, 22:20

I read JC's review of the Skoda Roomster today where he commented that you could choose from a wide-range of exterior colours. Sure enough there are thirteen on the Skoda website with one being retired already). No bright oranges, but quite tasteful hues instead. And I think the Civic would look good in most of them.

Of course, they have white too, which should be reserved for the Type R

babyjoe · 10th September 2007, 23:43

I want to pay extra (but not full bodywork price) for the vivid blue... Oh common, why not scrap one of the several silvers ...

My dealer was under the same impression that I could have champagne silver as here in Poland it is a popular colour. However, seemingly when he ordered the car he got news back that I couldn't have the champagne silver.

Now according to my wife who is polish, and spoke to the dealer, there was no mention of a problem relating to exterior/interior colour. For that I mean the exterior colour is ok but the beige interior was not available with that colour. I say that because I know that certain exterior colours are not able to have the beige interior.

On this issue of exterior colour I trust my wife completely as she wanted the colour - champagne silver - not me. However the interior colour we both agreed on!

It's a wonder they don't make more colours available. Most of them would be pretty popular.

terry · 11th September 2007, 20:17

So can I put a "Limited Edition" sticker on my car?

I was thinking more to increase the resale value.........although i don't think Glasses/Parkers diferentiate on colours!

I have a vivid blue 2.2 EX on order. Dealer says I should have it before the end of the month.

Thanks.

I've still got my fingers crossed as they're not 100% sure they can honour the sale. Maybe they'll not be able to and force me to go orange.

babyjoe · 20th September 2007, 20:30

But if enough clients ask for blue, they will want to supply it I might think.

philiphenderson · 20th September 2007, 20:51

It went to being a factory order so they said they should have one end of the month. If they're killing off this colour then it could be a close thing.
