Euro R Kit VS. Euro Sport

[turbo56k]

Hi,

is there anything different between the 2 kits, they all seems pretty similar to me. I want to install the R kit on my Lux 2006, however I'm affriad I might turn it into a standard Euro Sport.

thanks

as far as i know the kits are exactly the same - the euroR badge

This could just be how the photos turned out but I think the lines on the front skirt are more pronounced on the Euro R kit, the blue one is Euro R, the grey is the Sport.

Anyway, I think it comes down to price - if you can source the Sport kit for cheaper go for that. I still think the Euro R / Sport kit looks great. The only better kit is the no longer manufactured Phase kit IMO.

ps- the 03-05 Euro R kit is nicer - somehow Honda botched the facelift on the 06!
pps - how much nicer do the rims look in gun metal.

the kit that comes on the euro sport is the euro R kit.
its known as the euro R kit in japan, but here since the bodykit comes on a car badged "euro sport", it will be known as the "euro sports" bodykit in australia.
They are exactly the same

The lip at the bottom of the front lip (if that makes any sense) looks more angled, or maybe it's just the shot.

I hadnt really liked the mugen kit much, although that picture has changed my mind :thumbsup:

On the topic of 06 euro kits, has anyone got more shots of the Modulo OEM skirts?

[Chris_F]

yfin, im sure the kits are the same, it's just the difference between proffessional touched up photography and a regular shot that makes them look different

Our Accord Euro Sport is what would otherwise be a "Type S" in Europe and Japan -- which has the same kit as the Euro R.

So if you buy an R kit, yes your car will then look like the Euro Sport (unless you don't change the grille).

The Euro R also has darker wheels (same design, just darker grey) -- and for some reason runs 215 45 R17 instead of 225 45 R17!

Can you install the 06 Euro Sports kit on an 03-04 Euro?

[Tobster]

Side skirts should fit no problems. You'd have to buy new front and rear bumpers along with the lips and a new grille -- assuming it fits around the headlights (which I think are the same shape). However, the 06 doesn't have the bonnet insert piece, so then you'd probably want a new bonnet too.

Starts to get an expensive proposition...

[Chris_F]

^ too true.

the EuroR kit for 03-05 looks just as good anyway

[ABS121]

Thanks Tobster!

Might have to just see how much Honda want for a 04 front lip thats all i really want, does anyone know what its worth? and do they come prepainted OEM?

[BusterSonic12]

so you can buy sport kit from honda dealer?? and it can be fitted on to lux?

[stephen8512]

if u have an 06 euro and u want the euro R bodykit, then firstly u will have to source one (prob genuine as i have yet to see a replica of the new 06 euro R kit) and fit it.

fitment for the 06 euro R kit onto an 06 euro/euro lux shouldnt be a problem at all and since the one u'll be getting is most likely the genuine article, it will be just a matter of attaching it right on.

03-05 euros cannot be fitted with the 06 euro R bodykit. Sideskirts and rear should be the same (although not 100% sure about the rear, but 99.9% sure it should fit). However, the front end must be changed. an 06 front bumper is needed to fit the 06 euro R front lip.

And it works vice versa. An 06 euro can most likely fit the side and rear of the 03-05 euro R kit, but for it to fit the front lip, an 03-05 front bumper is needed.

EDIT - this is also the case for the euro R grilles. basically, an 03-05 grille can only match an 03-05 bumper and 06 grille can only match an 06 bumper.

[BusterSonic12]

cool, thanks steve. :D is the euro r grille pastic? because the sports one are.

[Chris_F]

stephen is right... but the rear lip from the 06 more than likely WON'T fit the 03-05 bumper because of the slight design revision to the rear bumper

[stephen8512]

cool, thanks steve. :D is the euro r grille pastic? because the sports one are.

yeah like i said, think of the euro sport as the 06 euro R. cosmetically its exactly the same

[euro77]

Is the new euroR grill not a honeycomb pattern anymore?

[stephen8512]

nope. no more honeycomb
