uh oh, looks like rain 🌧

 

LOL

Its England. It happens.

Thankfully, all waxed/sealed....so the water beading should look pretty....

 

Looks great. I almost went with running boards, but it turned out my Mom could get in and out without them.
Do you know how much they reduce your ground clearance?
I'd guess ground clearance isn't the issue in the UK that it can be here.
You certainly seem to have a wide selection of fencing materials in those shots.

 

Do you know how much they reduce your ground clearance?

About 1.5".

But that is offset by my bigger 19" wheels....

 

Looks great!

 

What colour is this

 

Cosmic Blue Metallic.

 

WOW looks the part mate

 

Merci

 

The Honda Dark Metallic Blues are THE hardest color to keep fresh and clean looking in my experience, with the possible exception of a black paint finish.

I admire your willingness to put up with the dark blues need for constant cleaning away of water spots, and even minor road grime.

This is the first Honda I have had in 15 years that is NOT black.

I enjoyed cleaning those!

With this Cosmic Blue, I had little choice because the delivery/lead times with other colours was 6mths-plus. I simply wasnt prepared to wait.

Dealer had a poverty-spec CR-V in the showroom in the same colour, so I picked that and got the car in less than half the time. I was initially after Premium Crystal Red but this will do!

 

I’ve got the red. Got to say it’s pretty good at not showing the dirt but didn’t stop it having its first puncture.

 

Its a phenomenal colour that red!

 

What model year did they switch to smoked tail lights? I wish I had your non-chrome trim on the doors.

In the USA, it would have been the facelifted model from 2020 onwards.

In the UK, the smoked lights are only available on the SportLine model.

All UK cars with the chrome trim. I took it to a bodyshop and got them sprayed matt black

 

Figured mine deserved one last hand wash before the temps drop below 60 ☃🌬

 

^

While the temps on this side of the pond wont be as cool, I do intend to do a final wash/wax etc of 2021 in the coming few days....

 

We are getting frost at nights. Just yesterday I siphoned summer windscreen fluid out and refilled with winter one.

 

"Summer Windscreen Fluid" ???
Didn't know there was such a thing. I've never seen any that wasn't good to -30F or -50F.
But I've put my winter supplies in the back, shovel, sand, flares etc.
This year I've started carrying a case of MREs, you never know.

 

A bit dirty.....

 

That's relatively clean. There's major infrastructure construction on my commute (multilevel freeway junctions) and the dump trucks haul crap to the roads from it at all times. Carwash is pointless.

 

Believe me, the rest looks a LOT worse.

Its actually embarassing.
