Or give you some compensation. I would have thought anyway.

As for some extras as a freebie.
Initially BG claimed the car was as I ordered - until I produced the details from Honda

They have said they will make the deal as sweet as they can if I take one of the options they've given me (Not sure what that means)

Additionally they have said if I choose to walk away altogether they will return my deposit in full - No more than I would expect but I think overall they have been decent about it

FWIW I think the one they have got in looks pretty smart. I would push for a sharper deal on that one and enjoy the last of the summer in it

Sorry to hear about this mix up dude. You must be well gutted.

If it's just a case of changing the seats and the door cards, I'm sure Honda UK would be able to source another set of each and swap them over.

Have to agree on the full pimped red interior. It's just too much, unless the cars in Grand Prix white, then it looks proper bo'

I like what has been offered but as you say it is not what you ordered. If you like it enough then push for a deal on it. But if you will always hanker after your original options then walk away / re order

The red seats are just too leary for me - And part of the decision to buy new was about getting EXACTLY the car that I wanted (Even though I found it hard to choose between Black & Black/Red interiors)

The decision to refuse the car was therefore simple - It was not exactly what I wanted

My whole situation is now complicated (and this was not part of the decision to refuse the car) by the fact that I have just been offered a promotion which involves relocating to Asia

Why can't life just be simple?

What's wrong with red seats? You know that the bit that's going to be black is the bit your body and head will cover anyway, yeah?
