Cosmic looks between moonrock and silverstone to me. Moonrock is quite a dark grey. There is also a Sebring silver which is lighter than silverstone.
as Simon mentioned, its Moonrock. nice colour, a little darker than my civic, more of a graphite shade.
Ideally I would like Moonrock Grey, Indy Yellow, Imola Orange or Grand Prix White
Moonrock is probably my favourite as it usually gets accompanied by more interesting interiors but the others do stand out more.
not much to choose from at the moment though as I said a few days ago.
As suggested when I first listed the Civic, I have gone and done a new set of pictures which should get a bit more interest on the car. so with Pistonheads and AutoTrader updated, hopefully people will be interested in buying my car rather than trying to swap their random crap for it...
will put them on here in case anyone is interested.

Great pics, that should go in no-time.
EDIT: When you get the oil leak fixed, get a picture from underneath the car too.

I'm not a tyre snob but I have done quite a few miles in an EP3 equipped with KU39 tyres. I would want to be paying the extra for better tyres for sure. They have also worn out in no time, approx 4k miles on the front.

You can get the F1 AS2 from lovertyres.com for £99 delivered each excluding fitting, fitting is normally around £10 a wheel for me.

Good info thanks guys. I recall the old eagle F1 having a soft sidewall. No such issues with the new one?
Soldato
Not sure but it's not really expected to be amazing at £80 a tyre (inc fitting).
I've ordered 2 x F1AS2 now anyway!

Yes mate, you not drove through St. Avely recently?
Every day, will have to look out for it. Was use to seeing CRX outside your gaff.
Told mrs she should let me swap the civic for a Type R but she won't have any of it lol. Suppose it does defeat point of having a cheap runabout

I ran KU39's on my Type R (not forgetting I skimped because it had a Magnex exhaust ) - the improvement over the Toyo T1R's which were on it when I got it was HUGE. I don't drive like a bell end though and never pushed the car beyond MY skill but had no issue but I did have a FRSU done on the car also with adjustable camber bits etc.
No issues with wear really, fronts lasted around 9k and backs 15-16k.
To go up to a more premium tyre was quite a jump in price. I think I paid 75 quid a corner fitted for the KU39's opposed to 115-120 for something arguably a step up such as Uniroyal Rainsport 2's etc. Nevermind the Bridgestones and such.

I had KU31 in 195/50/15 (55 is the standard size). For my driving they were great, never felt them flop.
The trouble I had with them was the wear. The fronts were completely dead in about 8000 miles of normal road use with a little spirited driving mixed in. Didn't need the car for commuting, so I only drove in the dry towards the end

Move to PE2, rotated them at 6500 miles (3mm and 6mm), currently at 16000 miles for the whole set. These are a better tyre in terms of feedback and feel, but I wouldn't knock the KU31. Good solid mid range tyre.
With around 2.5mm fronts, 3mm rear remaining.
I've had a set of RE002's waiting to go on since last February. Going to hold out a month until it goes in for it's MOT. Will still have ~2mm by the time that comes around.

I nearly just made the same mistake as you. Glad I went for the Goodyear in the end
Soldato
You should have got the Syron street race tyres
Goodyear AS2s are well recommended on the FN2 forum. That's a far superior vehicle to the EP3, so you should be fine.

My EP3 front tyres (RE040 x2, Parada Spec 2 & Utrac sessentas) never lasted over 6k miles... and they wore evenly. Think that was just my driving though...
only when accompanied by a cavalcade of non genuine body parts...
