Default Longshot... Did someone from here get the wrong Euro R?

This might be a VERY longshot... but here's the story...

About 6 months ago is started to look around for an import Accord and found a nice website that arranged everything for you...

Long story short... i ordered this Euro R:
http://www.japanese-usedcars-e....html

Months past... lots of mailen... and it finally arrived in Rotterdam port.. (holland)
Payed taxes and everything before i even saw the car... but that's the way it goes...
But when i get to the car... it's RED... wtf?!

Took it home with me anyway... turns out it's this car:
http://www.japanese-usedcars-e....html

Mailed my japanese friend again telling him my story.... and he told me he made a mix-up... the white one is probably on it's way to or has arrived somewhere in the USA...

Anyway... this is how it sits on my driveway atm:


My question... Does anyone know the guy that ordered the red one and got the white one?
I'm not very interested in trading or something... since i already payed taxes over this... and never gonna get those back... but i'm just curious who has the other car... and how he/she felt

I doubt that it made it to the states. Customs wouldn't let it pass, neither would USDoT - probably not emmisions legal.
Either sitting in some POE, or you're a victim of a B&S (Bait & Switch).

your car is sick! I love euro r's... everything about them is just gorgeous... lol

do you think your friend could get me the euro r bumper? I dunno where to get one I've talked to a couple online places and they said it was like 6 hundred sum dollars to get one... I'm about to get the sir-t front end conversion then swap on the euro r bumper... if I can ever get ahold of one... lol

but that car is intense... was there a lot of stuff you had to go throw to get it over here?

It's much easier to import one for the purpose of tracking/racing. The registering and titling of the vehicle is the issue.

It looks like you got an all around better deal for the red one. Love red. *reppin 6th gen

It looks like your red one got better scores on interior, body, mileage, etc. I really love the Euro R look. Sorta remind me of Lancers..but a Honda

thnx all

i'm starting to get used to the red... even loving it...
I dont know if he'll be able to get a front for you... he deals in entire cars mostly..
It took a while for me to get the car... from the first mail to getting it here took 6 months...
Now i'm having trouble getting it registered here in holland....
