When I saw Moonrock in the publicity photos I thought it looked great, but in the metal it looks dull IMHO.

Silverstone is too common and grey, so I would say be different and get Imola Orange or Monza Red. Or black of course (full red interior only).

its all done phoned them up this morning n said i`ll wait for the moonrock! i think it looks richer than the sliverstone. only thing that put me off it was the fact that its near identical to the colour of my focus.

btw if anyone is looking for a new silverstone for about

I may sound like Ade, but you really need that car SLAMMED
that is the car as stock after I cleaned it up!
Pics above are better as the Volks are now on and fill the arches a lot more, but maybe not enough
Still thinking about the suspension!

Richy u could try asking for money off but i doubt it as both hondasuk and bob gerard dont normally have many cars in stock and they sell out very quick so they will be reluctant to discount. btw these prices are otr prices including registration and tax. the EU imports from the new 04 model onwards do have the alarm fitted as they were factory fitted. only things u need are locking wheel nuts and a set of mats!

Done it, deposit down however have to wait till next friday for collection . Silverstone was sold so had to have nurby blue. Atleast that means a ring trip is essential.

Where do i get the blue muz mats, locking wheel nuts, what do you tell the insurance company-uk car or eu import car, and whens the next trackday? WOuld'nt mind a hks hyper but is it too loud for trackdays.

SOrry for hyjacking the thread also.

thanks

Well done! Make sure you run it in before vtec, Nurby ring or trackday!

Muz mats from Muz (click the www link on any of his posts) Nuts from stealer and tell the insurance co it is an EU car! Don't use the word import!

Not unless the track in question has a particularly stringent noise limit.

My old HKS was tested at around 96.5 dB at 3/4s max rpm at an airfield day a couple of years back, compared with around 94.5 to 95 for the OEM exhaust.
