Decided on a Type R just need a colour now - Page 2

I have to say, if I had the choice again it would be silver for me. I got NHB and it looks the bees when clean, but it really is a b#gger when it comes to swirling and scratches, so best avoided for this reason (unless you don't mind carefully cleaning it every week as a minimum). Red also looks awesome, but there are a loads about in red and dare I say it, they may start to turn pink come 5 years time?

Get the silver - its pretty unique!

you Will NOT look back, it cleans the best, looks the best and dates the best.

Toooooooo late went for black the deal is sighned and sealed now, they are getting a black one delivered on the 15th of this month hopefully, so needless to say i went for that. I would have had any colour to be honest and liked them all on their own merits so the earlier date was a decision maker for me.

Cant wait to get it, another decideing factor on the black was i took the type r out for another test drive this morning and seen 3 type r's during a 20 minute test drive 2 was red one was black. The black one overtook me on the kingswells road i was driving at the speed limit (sometimes), liked the look of the black one as it went past.

The average MPG after i finished the test drive was 13.8 MPG ooops must have been the high revs and vtec.

Mr JP · 7th April 2008, 16:36

well im glad you ended up with black over red, enjoy it.

Its a fantastic car.

ashkeenon · 7th April 2008, 16:40

Are you saying his car is 57 or a year old

because It can only be a maximum of 7 months old - but with a R number like that its less than 6 months old

ashkeenon · 8th April 2008, 15:53

Nah think u missed the bit of irony there, maybe us Aberdeen folk with our dry dull humour.

I no the car isn’t old was just merely referring to it as a mature 57 year old woman. Just a bit o banter.

Was planning on going down if I was at home, but I hear its sold out! Which is a bit grim!

Not sure when I will be back in Aberdeen, but will give you a bell!!

ashkeenon · 10th April 2008, 11:11

Think theres probably a few spare tickets floating around.

If your back in Aberdeen at the time would be a good chance to have a cruise down to Glasgow in the new motors. I dobut my car wold make the end of the street so i hope i get before the gig 22nd, actually i certainly hope i do as its the 22nd of may not april.

Juff · 24th April 2008, 08:11

I got the black one 5 days ago, looks great........... but yes i already found 2 scratches on each door ( the type of scratches no one other sees )

............... But they are there, guess its easier to see them on a black car... Ill take care of them sunday if the weather allows it.

What about your cars, did you have any minor scratches from the factory/dealer, ive heard its pretty normal, even on more expensive cars
