So the LSD works well

I don't think anyone would complain that if you posted the Scandi girls pics.

I hope all the people who said the LSD could not be fitted when the car has the ESP are now happy , short of a respray, there are good deals to be had on LSD's from many retailers currently.
I love the colour but the cost to change just doesnt give the benefits

I think you'll find that it was issue with 'aftermarket' LSD when the LSD was first lauched. Someone had 'issues' with the ESP not working with the LDS, the CW one however comes with a factory fit one from Honda where it has been built in and not had the gearbox put in the car, used and then dropped back out to fit the LSD.

Honda made sure that the ESP and the LSD worked together first before they stuck it in their cars that they are going to sell.

I know there was no original issue, I just see the factory fit as further evidence

Its nice but not really worth the extra money for flat paint and white wheels! Why did nt Honda use metallic white paint instead? It would cost more but you are paying over £1000 anyway? Also change the style of the alloys as its a limited edition, at least have 19" wheels?

Because this kind of white color (championship) it's something that has to do with Honda legacy/history of type-r models .

The £1000 is for the LSD (which is about right), and the paint is pearlescent...

I still think it looks better if it was metallic white, same as the one on the motorshow a couple of years back!

It looks impressive in white, but I don't like those white wheels and would trade them for the regular ones. Excellent review Potsy

Looks a bit chav.
A 14 year old with an ASBO, Burberry baseball cap, white trainers & a shell suit wouldn't look out of place in one.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to keep those white wheels clean, and with Honda's dodgy rear brake pads too! All I have to do is drive up the road and my alloys are black!
