My new 1.8 Sport 5D arrived (about 2 hours ago) .
I ordered with color code option. Let me show you why.
I'm very very happy now

Very nice colour , better in the flesh ........... welcome to the forum

HappyMan · 29th May 2008, 19:57

HI and welcome to the place.

Orange is a colour that I like in the flesh, wouldn't buy, but like. T

Glad you love your car because your the photo's look great and the colour code option is a good idea and makes it look even better.

Happy driving

teletxt,

I didn't know you could buy any model civic with colour coded trim. Thought it just came with the Type R and that was it and everything else has plastic trim!

How much extra for the colour coded trim option was it if you don't mind?

blader · 29th May 2008, 20:09

Incidently,

I have been give duff info! The reason I thought you could only get the Type R with colour coded trim, was cos some sales bloke at a Honda dealer told me that!

PS. Pics look really good. Congrats are in order I do believe!

Isn't it the image pack in the UK? I am not based in the UK so I am not sure.

Yes it is happyman, but when I queried this with a supposed salesman, he said the items included in the image pack were protectors and not the complete plastic trim makeover (if you know what I mean?)

Confused

I know I am!

Very nice - enjoy having such an individual car!

My goodness Blader he was a bad salesman, wasn't he? Even the guys here in poland told me about it but seeing as I have a black car I wasn't interested but I am changing my mind at present so we shall see.

wow it looks really nice in that colour, must say for me that would be the choice of colour if NHB wasn't available. Thinking of getting my plastic trims colour coded now

teletxt · 29th May 2008, 21:11

Thanks all.
The color code was an idea not a built-in option . I asked the salesman and he said
"yes" . The cost was ~ 646 Euro . Little expensive , but I think the color coding will be better when the car is new . If I would have it painted later then not sure that the color matching would be good as now .

PS. My english knowledge is very far from perfect

First of all don't worry about your English - you are perfectly understood.

Secondly that really was expensive for the colour coding! Changing my mind now

teletxt · 29th May 2008, 22:51

Happyman . You should ask your dealer , because the price maybe different in Poland.

LuCk · 30th May 2008, 00:24

Good choice! Orange is the 2nd best color

Must do !

Why just a second ? I think NHB is good colour but , almost every car is black (or silver , and grey) . Where I live a NHB civic stands already there (with ivory interior). If you ask here the other mates about his/her civic colour , the most answer is the NHB. Why do all cars have to be with a black colour? My friend is own a 8. gen. "taffeta white" civic 4D sedan , and I have to say the white is better colour than the black for the sedan.
