-Definitely a keeper. Probably not another one like it in UK.

I have a red one with 38k Miles which I am also improving on an OEM basis.

Have just found a cream interior like yours and it is currently being refurbed, though mine does not have black piping, was that standard? Also I noticed, like mine, the back of your front seat squabs are a slightly different pattern, the drivers squab being slightly flatter at the rear and a different stitching pattern. Is there any reason for this? Just a bit mystifying!

hough mine does not have black piping, was that standard?

Not sure, though a red 5G I had with the same interior had red piping, the one on mine is green. I was under the impression that the leather option was a dealer fit and not factory? The differences may be down to the upholsterer used by the dealer? Speculation on my part.

Not sure the difference in the front seat squabs. Trying to post a pic of the seat but photobucket seriously slow of late, almost unusably so.

That's quite amazing actually, for honda UK to be doing that for someone that doesn't go buying a new car off them every couple of years!
It's the dealers service pockets that you keep lining

In fact... Wonder how you even feature on their database? None of the tons of parts I buy go against my name and address!
Do they share all service info centrally then?

Honda has a part time job with GCHQ?

Certainly have done these past couple of years!

One more question, promise!

Are the door cards vinyl or leather faced!

The cards on the set I have bought need recovering and the leather fettler isn't sure till he takes them apart. Current door cards are unmarked so don't want to waste time and money. Someone on a previous thread is sure they are vinyl, but I thought you may know for sure!
