Type R front & rear skirts!

kevin@wilson4569.fsnet.co · 26th January 2008, 20:52

Hi guys,
Ive just joined forum and its very impressive.
I get my 5dr NHB Civic Cdti ES on Thursday and have purchased the Type R front and rear bumper inserts to colour code the car.
Ive read a few posts and it still seems unsure if this can be done?
Anyone any further info on this?

Bumper inserts?

Exactly what parts are we talking about here?

Dimplyred · 27th January 2008, 00:05

Do you mean the front and rear splitters?

kevin@wilson4569.fsnet.co · 27th January 2008, 00:12

Yes sorry, The front and rear splitters.
Ive been reading more into it and it looks like these may look odd

.
The triangle exhausts may be too small to fill gap for type r ones and without side skirts & arches it may stick out like a sore thumb

May be better with a image pack or grand prix pack (the same i think) but Honda pics still show this in black plastic with high gloss inserts.
Can anyone elaborate?

Forgive me if I'm wrong but they dont fit I dont think, due to differences in the triangles and side skirts

FWH · 27th January 2008, 00:19

I am quite sure Robbo is right on this one.

Have a look in the Wiki under "adding R parts to a non-R car".

Dimplyred · 27th January 2008, 00:21

Yes they won't fit, the exhaust triangles are different.

I think you will have problems with the side skirts too.

The Danish project took a lot of work on that point if I remember correctly.

Oh Dear

Thanks guys!
Guess il put them up for sale then.
Any ideas on the grand prix pack and if it comes painted high gloss like type r or is it just like part painted trims?

You need to get the Grand Prix pack painted.
