asgeo · 7th November 2007, 23:02

hi !!
does anyone knows if i can change the front mask and rear middle mask(with lights) and replace them with the type R black masks? do they fit? i have the 5-door civic.thanks

the front mesh grill is a direct swap

The rear black R bit is also a straight swap - BUT...
On the 5 dr, the centre red bit includes the rear fog light.
On the R, it doesn't - the rear fog light is moved to the outer (red) bit - which then has 2 bulbs instead of the 5 dr's one.
So you need to replace them too

Someone asked Holdcroft about the back for their Type S to look like the ones on the CTR (cheeky git used my car pic) but this is what your after yes?

i think the R fog lights are inside the rear mask. they are led lights

i have copys of the spares by honda and i will upload them tomorow.

If its wasn't for the fact that its freezing outside and i'm tucked up in bed, i'd go outside, turn the rear fogs on, take a pic and post it up.

But i'm sure TT is right, according to the handbook its only reversing lights on that bit on the CTR and the fogs are withing the main cluster of lights at either side.

here the spare parts from honda.the first foto is taillight from typeR 2nd from 5-door and the 3rd foto is the front grille from typeR. in the 1st and 2nd fotos you can see the deferent middle fog light but as you can see it include it.

I can't see the pics you've put up on my phone, so i'll have a look at them on the pc in the morning.

I did however go out to the car tonight and put the fog lamp on at the rear to check and I can confirm (again!) the following:

In the clear/black bit on the back of the Type R the two lights are reversing lights (and they light up the whole area!) The fog light is contained within the cluster of lights on the right hand side of the car!

I've taken a pic for you which I will post in the morning

As you will see from the attached pic, the fog light on the CTR is in the back drivers side cluster of lights and not within the clear lights at the back.
