Hi guys,

I know its great that i have a choice between these two kits. I currently have the 03-05 euro-r front at home. However, I know someone who can get me the sport (06-08 Euro-r) front bar for me. I have always preferred the 06-08 kit.

I am soo confused as to which kit would look nicer lol.
The 06-08 is smoothe whereas the 03-05 is more unique.
Im leaning towards the 06-08, gimme some advice! :(
I also have the euro-r rear and side skirts (04) so it would be the complete look.

For those who arent sure how the kit looks like...

03-05

stay with the o3-05.

the fog area looks meaner with the 03-05,
the lines next to the fog on the 06+ makes it odd looking.

Nah it comes with the 06 bar and lip. I have the grille already for the 06 so shouldnt be a problem.
I like the classy look of the 06 but the 04 does indeed look more agressive :(

i have 03-05 euro r grill.
they doesnt looks different, but they have different serious number.
i just put on the grill myself, it is very easy.
but u may have some problem put on the raditor cover after u change the grill.

I have both grilles. The 04 and 06 grille are different also in appearance. 04 has honeycomb design but 06 have a rectangular grid like appearance. Not sure abt the radiator cover though.

really depends on the colour of your car for each kit.

Where did you get the 05 bar from and how much was it? I really like it and would like to look at getting one also.

someone correct me if im wrong.. but afaik 06-08 grille is fatter than 04 hence wont fit

Correct. The 06 grille is larger thus wont fit an 04.
The 06 bar will fit an 04 without any changes ie. entire bumper swap.

Suntzu, i got it from a friend from singapore. He was able to source the kit for me. I will most likely order the 06 which means i should be selling the 04 front lip in a few months time.

c'mon guys...back on topic! :p

'06+ for me too.
The vents make it look more racey.

06+ if you dont mind paying for the bar, why not. On the side note the 03-05 one would be more unique as the 06+ one is identical to the euro sport we have here in aus.

Yeah i know the 04 looks good too. Its really hard to decide as they both have their pros and cons.

03-05 euro-r for sure!!

06-07 is exact same as sports... so u wont be unique...

plus i reckon 03-05 is way sexier! looks more like a race car!

snYpz

25-08-2008, 11:03 PM

^ nah my euro isnt fast enough to be a race car so thats not a reason for me! :p

I think i've decided to go with the 06+ kit.

I should be posting up the 03-05 lip in the next week or so. Im suprised abt the interest for the lip thus far... Makes me wonder if i should just stick with the 03-05! lol

im 2nd that. too many sports are on the road. 03-05 looks cleaner IMO.

lol i think you need the jdm radiator or you can mod your one a bit to fit. Mmm i don't really like the red honda badge on the euro personally. I think it makes it look a bit tacky, doesn't really match, but each to their own =)

.QD

26-08-2008, 06:25 PM

I dont like badges myself. If I had a "real" EuroR I would debadge it too.

*waits for the EuroR badge lovers to start hatin. :D

26-08-2008, 06:26 PM

i tried to mod my old one, but i think it does not work.
for the red badge, it come with the grill.
dont u think it just like a clown =)
anyway, it does not matter.
i have silver badge at home. just lazy to change it.

lol i only put my euroR badges on so that when i beat WRXs (on the dragway) people say "daaaaaammmmmnn i want a honda typeR" its like free advertising for honda :p they should pay me or something...

I think it looks good on your car though, must be the lighter silver colour of your car, matches with the red Honda badge :p

But same as above if it's not the real deal then couldn't do it, me personally I love the stealth look no badges or as little as possible...but thats just me ;)

hahaha true, i like to think of it that im putting down the same power as a euroR, so i half have the right to :p lol

euro in itself is already stealth enough, no one suspects a family car to be quick lol besides, my badges are there to warn people :cool: lol

rofl mate.
haha honeycomb grill would seem like a pain in the ass the clean.
red badge suitability really depends on colour and how your car's appearance is too.

damn i need to take the initiative to find a place to install my luckystar kit.
i am so lazy and busy.

Don't know about honeycomb but i just recently installed the grill off the limited edition sport euro on mine and easy to clean (not honeycomb)

You spot on their, couldn't picture graphite with red badge, needs to be stealth for graphite colour (black)

lazy...busy, which one is it.....? ;)
