Most people seem to get theirs pretty quick, I would have thought anything below 21 days was reasonable.
My char-g's took about 6 weeks from Japan

I know, I am just impatient, and don't want the carpet to get really dirty in the car, it is pretty muddy round my way at the moment.

Thanks for the info on Muz mats.

I think I'll wait until Friday and see if the car has the Honda floor mats anyway, even though I declined to pay

I have seen one silver in Aylesbury Honda which I think is the one I have seen round Aylesbury and once in Stone, my friend has seen a Black on in the car park at his work in the town center and there was a brand new Monte Carlo Blue parked outside Aylesbury Honda on friday and it is not there now, so I am just waiting to see that driving round.

Other than that, I have not seen any.... at all.

Hi Big Al - good to meet you. Congratualtions re your car - post some pics when you get it if you can.
Can't believe the price of those Honda mats - are they trimmed in gold or something ?
I think I'll be getting mats from Muz too.

Oh - and black isn't the fastest colour - everyone knows its Nurburg blue really !

Al,
A tip on Mats. If you don't get any mats delivered free with the car.

I have an MC Blue/black and wanted to order black or carpet coloured mats from Honda. The mats in the brochure are in 2 colours Silver and Black (Nearest description).

Sadly, only leery silver mats are available as Honda Europe have changed the mat manufacture and apparently, according to Honda UK who mailed the European Accesories Director, they are not going to be doing black or any other colours apart from leery silver.

So, I suggest that you phone Honda UK and speak to customer service and ask them why this is the case. Suggest that they don't match your car or their published brochure. his is very disappointing for you, etc.

They will apologise and either send you a set of leery for free or offer to contribute to your muz mat purchase. Well that is what they did for me. I thought that this small contribution was very good of them. If they are reading this then that is good for loyalty.

I have decided to keep my leery silver mats as they are darker than the old leery silver and are better than nothing at this time of year. I would ask them to send you a set to look at first.

It worked for me it should work for you too.

Regards,
Sam.
