We're getting a replacement MCS and have narrowed down our options to two.

Either we get one that looks just like our current one - laser blue, with white roof and white crown spoke alloys.... or we go for something completely different - chili red all over, with r108 multispoke alloys.

What do you reckon?

FergusM · Jun 19th, 2007, 01:11 PM

You can't get the same... you need a change... though personally I think Dark Silver is the colour of choice

....ok I am biased !

Out of your two I'd go for red.

The ball is rolling...!

Yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking. Dark silver would have been an option - but we've already had one of them too

Definately Chili Red, probably with Black roof / mirrors and silver crown spokes.

Not a fan of the R108 multi-spokes.

Or better still go for the R105's.

I'd have R95's if I had a choice of alloys...

Well if you got dark silver you could always just say the last colour choice was a mistake that you've now corrected

go for the beautiful blue with white roof and wheels and you'll be like a little piece of sky bombing around the place....

Sparkling Silver is nice.....silver with a touch of gold. You need to view it in natural light to appreciate how good it looks.

Chili Red is great if you go for non-metallic, enjoy polishing and need to touch up the paintwork or remove scratches. I ordered a MCS yesterday and I chose this colour as my current Civic Type-R is red ....get some Carnuba Wax Polish and it really shines.

Disadvantage with metallic paint is that it's not easy to touch up.
