Awesome, about time this was a mainstream colour instead of those lucky norwegians from the EP3 days!

The bronze FN2's hardly flew out the showroom :lol:

The blue looked good on the EP3 CTR's as it does on the FD2's.

Nice; although not as nice as it looks on the EP3 and FD2. More angles needed.

I liked the bronze. :oops:

Touch :thumbup:

I liked the Deep Bronze, good stealth pearl to it, but doubt I could take the constant abuse at work for buying a brown car

+1

Although the blue on the EP3 and FD2 was Vivid Blue Pearl which was a bit like the Laguna Blue Pearl of the S2000 as it has green fleck in the sunshine

The FN2 blue looks a whole lot darker, a bit like the DC5 blue which I don't like

+1 again, certainly looks nice think it looked on the EP3 though.

I would like to see that in the flesh, but looks pretty good. Would be a hard choice now deciding between red, blue or white! :scratch:

I'm thinking more and more about swapping the EP3 for an FN2 and i would love one in that colour! Would look sweet with the rims graphite! :-D

That looks more indigo than the top pic. :???:

Didn't know they'd done away with the glass/plastic grill on the Type S, looking more like the Type R now with those bumpers too. :sad:

2009 Type S has done away with the perspex grille and gets a colour coded Type R bodykit like the Sport did on the EP series.

I've never liked the Sport looking like the Type R in EP guise.

Thought Honda struck a good balance with the Type S looking sporty and different to the rest of the range but not like the range topper.
