I've seen the pics in th ebrochure of the optional black coloured skirts for the lower rear skirt and the front valance and grill. But has anyone got any other photos? They actually make it look less bulky IMO, though I'd bet on Honda charging an arm and leg.

[Aylesbury-Honda]

I don't have any other pictures, but the front and rear kit is £800. It looks like they have put a NHB kit on the Milano car as well. I think it looks pretty nice I have to say.

Cheers

[Snake Pliskin]

I think the price is in the order of approx £450 each ... so best part of a £grand for both

Would need to see them actually fitted to a Demo car to see how they look properly, especially to warrant that price tag !

Do they look high gloss finish to you ?

[Ali]

They did, yes. "Piano black" I believe its referred to.

The only colour coded parts are the corners where the black ends at the grill, and runs to meet the part coming off the wheelarch.

£900 is a bit OTT, but Mazda charge £1500 for a front air dam, half skirts and colour coded mudguards for the RX8 so it seems par for the course.

[Snake Pliskin]

Thought so ... piano black seams to be the "in" colour at the moment doesn't it ! ... bet they would look quite nice then.

In that case and based on prices from other manufacturer's I guess they are the right price for what they are & if you really like the look of them.

Would certainly give the car a slightly different look.

Is it actually a different part or is it just a part that is sprayed a different color?

Any images of this?

[Ali]

The rear looks resprayed but the front is a different part. The lower lip isn't as prominent as the standard one and there are two spars that stick up onto the grill...probably in a vain attempt to ape an F1 car or some other lame idea...

Sort of like that

I can completly see what it looks like now

Serious amount of money for the back piece to be resprayed - they usually charge to body color, never heard of this way round?

mate, serious amount of time put into that picture mate, thanks a lot LOL

Having this option on a milano red (like in the brochure ) or alabaster silver ctr would really suit it IMO. Looks 8)

Also if you look closely at the pics in the brochure they seem to be different parts, they are a different shape. Like the ep3 ctr has, where the lower parts of the bumpers can be removed.

[hammer7128]

are these the pictures that are on page 37 of the brochure, pictures 1 & 2?

dont mind telling you iam getting quite mixed up with all these extras

thanks, undecided whether i like these or not

one things for sure, i wont be getting them at the moment.

[Vitz]

Really love the black against the red, and I think im gona get a Milano.

But what does the £450 for the front and the £450 for the rear get you?

Is it just the black parts or am I missing something? Also you can order them in piano black right?

[Ali]

I saw them on a Type S in the showroom the other day and the black bits were painted in body colour on that. Looked pants done that way...

[mw1978]

today i found this

[Captain Redbeard]

That looks quite smart from the front.

[Ali]

Rear looks rubbish but front does look better.

[plasmaman]

Front looks so good with that on but they've managed to make the rear look even worse. Other thing which annoys me is the pics have the washer jets on the front as well - why if no HIDs? Cant tell from those pics but every LHD FN2 I see has the washer jets on. I've a sneaky suspicion (spelling?!?) that our EU friends are going get them as an option.

Edit: oh yeah on the HID thread the EU guys n gals are getting them.

[L7 KVV]

They should be handy enough to retro-fit, with the lamps and wiring outa the 5door.

But it will be expensive
