Well if you put the 06 bumper on the 05 car then this probably can be done - but I don't think this is possible otherwise.
If you look at the 06 and 05 model next to each other you will see why... The gap between the grill and the headlights is completely different and this gap is determined by the bumper - not the grill.
Will the new Euro Sports Limited grill fit on the 03-05 Euro? or is it designed for the 06 bumper?
No - if you want a similar look get the Euro R grill from the 03-05Quote:

You can buy the colour coded trim separately to replae the chrome....Quote:

It might fit if the overall complete grille shape hasn't changed, but the 06 models have a whole new bumper too, so it might be different.
just a bit off topic
the 06 headlights look a lot nicer than the 03-05. the bit where the parker lights light up seem to be a bit bluish...
u reckon the 06 headlights can be fitted to the 03-05?
Well maybe $500 a few years ago but you would be surprised what Honda Australia now has in stock. A few months ago I asked a Perth Honda dealer for the price of a Euro R radiator panel. He checked the catalogue and found stock of the Euro R grill, panel, etc all at the Honda Melbourne distribution centre (ie in stock in AUSTRALIA - no importing of anything). So if you are keen speak to your local Honda parts - just make sure you give them all the right part numbers.Quote:

I bought my Euro R (05) grill for $150 fitted from IS Motor Racing in Rockdale. If you want to replace the chrome around the grill with color-coded pieces, it's another $100 (from memory).Quote:
