NHB is the super rock of rocks. It is the Everest. It is the ultimate rock....Sorry getting carried away there

One downfall, I've had mine for three days now and am having to clean it already. It is worth this small sacrifice though.

NHB. See Avatar

I had the same debate, but in the end NHB won because I felt that the novelty of the DBP might wear off over time. Almost a year on I am still happy with the NHB and love it to bits. Both paints are a nightmare to look after and are hard work but well worth it. In truth you can't really go wrong, it all boils down to what colour you think you can live with in a year+ later.

One other thing to note - NHB is definitely the fastest colour

Go for the DBP! It still shines even when the weather is overcast.

Go for Deep Bronze and have the best of both worlds.

Bronze is stunning.

Ed Case · 8th March 2008, 01:10

NHB does show the dirt, but when washed and polished looks fabulous. Looks so mean and purposeful. I also think it more admiring glances.
I certainly have no regrets.

On an added note. I intended to order milano red but saw NHB in the car park. The fact is, the window frames are black on all models and on NHB it just looks better. Not to mention that blue fleck in the metallic under the sun. Completely swung it for me. Off the cuff change of mind and ordered it immediately.

None because i heard MILANO has 5 BHP extra ......

charlas · 8th March 2008, 02:23

Milano Red is the way forward, you know it

Personaly I despise red cars, but my Type-R is..... Red.... go figure, just looks best in that colour

Big& · 8th March 2008, 09:36

You are all wrong! Silver is the best

Level390 · 8th March 2008, 12:27

I went for silver, so I tend to agree with Big& :P

However if I had to choose between NHB and Bronze I'd go for NHB. I saw a bronze one at the dealers and to me it looked kind of like a dull black when the sun wasn't shining on it, which I didn't like at all.

Dimplyred · 8th March 2008, 12:43
