Some pictures of my new 2.2 Executive. The first two were taken at the dealer, when they fitted the extras. I already changed the interior lights to blue. It looks good with the foot well lights.

My sentiments as well TC

I usually like blue but at first I wasn't fussed on it on the Civic. The more I see in the flesh, the more jealous I get.

Don't they look nice when you first pick them up :)

Great colour.

Actually, I don't know, why royal blue is such a rare color. It was love at first sight for me. But the dealer said, that mine is the second RB Civic they ever sold. And they are one of the biggest dealership in Hungary. I haven't seen any RB on the road either.
But I like it this way. It will be unique. Even more so, when I install a custom made body kit.

A bottle of touch-up paint is all very well. I got one of those with the Lex.

However, if you are like me then performing the touch-up with a small brush or cocktail stick never seems to work properly. I haven't got the knack.

I found the answer by scouring Halfords for one of those 4 part kits they do.

Being as Halfords don't do my Lex Montrose Blue I found that Rover Tahiti Blue was 'as near as d*mn it' so I got that. Tipped it out and replaced with some of the tin.

I now have a 'nib applicator' with the correct colour which I have found an easier way of getting a good job.

I have also noted that Halfords don't do Galaxy Grey in their kits so a similar ploy will be adopted when I can correctly assess the colour.

So much for the border less European Community!!

Totally non-sensical when you consider how physically close together we all are - does the specification need to be nationalised? Especially for all you foreign types who drive on the wrong (same) side of the road.

Hobsons Choice

To reduce costs manufacturers often standardise and limit options - the variants Honda have would surely increase their costs!

Obviously for different climatic conditions, local legislation or even local tastes the spec could vary slightly. Leather may not be a good option in say a hot country - e.g Greece. (ouch . . . aircon too slow!).

But a lack of purely asthetic choices is odd.
