Ok. Just got a quote from IS motorsport. Im happy with the pricing. $250 for grill and inner cover.
BUT I looked atthe Euro sport ( i have a normal 05 red standard) and it does have the color coded lower surround but no upper grill surround , just grill.
see http://us1.webpublications.com.au/st...105901_2mg.jpg
OK, MY car has a large chrome surround around it and the top also.
see http://www.roadtester.com.au/images/...0/pscEURO1.jpg
Question: Can I pull of my upper chrome surround and just order the lower surround colour coded from IS Motor sports?
i have the 06 euroR grille myself on the 06 euro lux..
in the photo, that is a 06, but your euro is 05, i reckon you should just get the 05 euro R grille.

At the moment my grill is all chrome but i can order the colour coded trim peices for $75 each?
Otherwise if I can remove them I may be able to get them painted i guess?
If you have the 05 you need the colour coded grill and the colour coded hood (bonnet) cover.
You can't just remove your chrome hood cover as you will see holes in the bonnett where the trim used to be.
So check with IS whether they are supplying both the grill and the trim.
As for the "inner cover" are you talking about the radiator cover? I have said this many times but you don't need the Euro R radiator cover (costs about $50). You can cut a very small section of your stock plastic radiator cover and no one will notice. Takes about 2 minutes.
Ok cool. I did some extra searching and it looks like I can either get the colour coded trim ordered for 2x $75 on top of the $250 for the grill and inner cover. Or i can remove the two chrome bits, get them sprayed and have them refitted. prob cost the same.
Heres what I got via email
All genuine parts from Honda Japan.
Honda Accord Euro R Front Grill $150
Honda Accord Euro R Grill inner cover $100
Honda Accord Euro R Bonnet Trim $75 (Colour Coded)
Honda Accord Euro R Grill Trim $75 (Colour Coded)
Honda Accord Euro R Front Badge $50
Generally most people will change just the Front grill and inner cover which is $250 im told.
So baically yeah Im getting the 4 first items I think, but are you saying I dont need the "inner cover' ???
I wouldn't spray - it will not look factory perfect like the Honda parts. To explain those items - well the grill is the grill of course.Quote:

Last time I checked Honda in Australia had stock of this item for $48. I would just cut the stock one you have where the bonnet release is. It is very easy to do and that way you can open the bonnet without changing to the Euro R cover.
The Euro R bonnet trim is the blue strip you see on my bonnet below.
The grill trim is the blue surrounding the grill - if you don't get this it will look black.

OK I think I got it.
Order the grill itself, and the two color trim pieces but nOT the radiator cover. I can mod this correct?

Correct - save yourself $100 and mod it.Quote:
