Type-S Sports Grille

Carson · 15th September 2012, 11:00

I have a Type-S GT 2008 and been looking around Cox's Sports Grilles and wondered if any of them will fit my car or do i have to get the type-s one?

im assuming any will fit but want to make sure before i start looking too much into it then find out i cant have the one i want.

And if i can get any of them im thinking of getting the CTR replica because i prefer the red honda badge but will i look like a CTR wanna be?

I look forward to the answer thanks in advance

they both fit..
i bought the sports grill from honda for like 130 i think
and then i bought A red badge and took the silver off , but u can buy the type r rep of cox n it will fit

I bought and fitted to my Nhb a fortnight ago.

Bought it colour matched, and the H badge was colour matched Nhb too. Believe its called stealth.

Fitted in 20 minutes using the how to guide on here.

If I'm honest I'm really not sure I like it, or at least prefer it to the original clear Perspex grill. I dont want a type r wannabe so didn't want the red H badge, but it would probably be better looking with anything other than the badge in black as I have it now, just for a bit of contrast.

I got the special edition grille with red badge. Not to be a type R wannabe. Just because I liked the look of it compared to the others.

I like the idea of getting a regular one and putting a red badge on as I think the type r rep is more than the regular

I'm not sure if I like the stealth one on the NHB like you say there is no contrast to it :/

Ye I'm not making a CTR replica I just like that one so I see where your coming from

Im thinking stealth one, and then painting the H in orange. Just keep putting off buying the grille sadly ! Good to hear how easy it is to fit.

That's a smart idea mate I think that would look good the sports grilles look so much better

They definitly do i bought my standard sports of this site,ut arrived during the week just gone and fitted it that eve, was second hand but was never put on the sellers car so it was really brand new and what a difference it makes, changed the hole look of the front.Really happy with it.

Carson · 16th September 2012, 09:55

That's good to hear brilliant

ye if they didn't use it then its brand new aint it. I think it looks so much better don't it and its not a massive amount of money either

ye it does look good especially for the price, do you have any pics of yours as your civic is the same as mine so would be great to see a picture?

I see lots of people saying this, but I'm struggling a bit with how a piece of plastic which probably cost a Tenner to manufacture can be sold at over £100 and be considered great value?

And don't even get me started on all that mugen crap!
