Hi all,

I've spent the last hour or so reading threads to get up to speed but I'm struggling somewhat. I'm not very good with cars so sorry if I ask basic questions, just trying to get my head around it all.

I have a 2004 Accord Euro, so pre-face lift and hate the front grill and bumper on it. Not only is mine damaged, but I also feel like the models before the face lift are very long and unappealing.

Ideally I'd like to put a post-face lift front on the car but understand that it is not possible, so I am now looking for ideas as to what I can do to change it. It's going to cost me $400 to have the scratches on the bumper fixed up (purchased it like that that) so I am thinking that I am better off spending more money to have it upgraded.

What options do I have? I don't want it to look over the top, just want to clean it up and update it a little.

I have attached some photos so you can see what the car looks like now. Please don't get to technical to me, I struggle with this type of stuff!

On a side note, what type of front grill/bumper is on the silver one I uploaded?

theres a dedicated accord euro sub forum, you'll probably have better luck there getting a response:

You can add a lip kit (like a body kit) for the car (see my post b), and change the grill to a mugen mesh grill like this (this is a replica):

or an euro r grill for prefacelift:

and yes, they are different between pre- and post facelift
