White Type R for 2009 MY

Pottsy · 4th November 2007, 22:26

I have a theory...

If enough people vote in this poll, then maybe Honda will take note...

We have sort of done this before, but it was a while ago with a smaller audience.

Please excuse the 30 second photoshop:

I think the Type R would look great in white - especially when it is clean. It would also be another non metalic choice and would certainly stand out from the crowd.

However I would prefer another colour for my own car, mainly for practical reasons.

On the other hand I would be very tempted if it had these wheels on it:

Indeed.

If it happened, it would be Championship White (NH-0)

Why wait till 2009 ? Surely Honda could find some white paint for 2008.

czechplastik · 4th November 2007, 23:11

No question as far as I'm concerned.

Pottsy · 4th November 2007, 23:12

08 MY paint choices are already decided (? January), announced (May) and in production (now). So now is the time to influence the 09 thinking.

The brake upgrade would be nice too..

I would like to see white on the options list and see white Type Rs on the road, but wouldnt choose it myself.

Can you add another question to the Poll to cover this ? or maybe add white to the colour options choice on the other Type R colour choice poll to see how many would choose each colour. (Red, White, Black, Silver, Bronze, Orange etc ?)

I can't help but feel party responsible for the new Type D announcements of late.

Seirrah · 5th November 2007, 18:11

I voted yes. Looks like the white is popular! (as suspected)

illegalhunter · 5th November 2007, 18:57

White is a no brainer

angie4m · 6th November 2007, 14:07

I'd have a white one with Red mud guards and Red Calipers. It would look the Biz!

Wonder if we'll get a new line up of colours for the CTR ie Red, Black, Silver, White and Orange? Now that would be a hard choice!

Munro · 6th November 2007, 20:34

I find it very difficult to believe to believe that 82% (55 out of 67) of Type R buyers will specify white !

Here are some more pictures of a white one on the road.

marky3d · 6th November 2007, 20:43

I have a silver one, but would definately trade it in for a white one if it became an option (maybe when they face lift it)

Seirrah · 6th November 2007, 21:46

The pics that Munro posted look amazing!

TTDegs · 6th November 2007, 23:07

though strictly speaking 'off' the road, not 'on'

great pics though

but crying out for Type R stickers

Whatever

I have just found a really old survey from Aug 2006 , which shows people really would go for the white type R

It would be interesting for people to add their votes to the survey ( assuming there are lots of people who have not already voted )

What Type R colour would you like?

The votes at the time of writing are very surprising !

"View Poll Results: What colour Type-R would you order?

Deep Bronze........4....5.88%.........4
Silver.................6.....8.82%........6
Red...................3.....4.41%........3
Black.................6.....8.82%........6
White.................31...45.59%......31
Bright Yellow.......18....26.47%.....18
TOTAL.......................................68 "

I hadn't voted, but I have now. I think the white looks amazing and if it were available I'd definately have bought one.

Interesting to see so few people voted for red and yet since it came out so many people have bought red.

View Poll Results: If you are a Type R buyer, would you buy a white one?
Yes, I would buy it in white, no question	243	70.85%
No, I would specify another colour for my R	62	18.08%
I will not actually be buying a Type R, but need to vote for something	38	11.08%
