Right Mugen Grille install time,

I know this will be an eat poo sandwich to a lot of you out there has it’s simple and common sense. However for exactly that reason there always seems to be an abundance of questions about installing an after market grille. Therefore I hope to answer them here.

I have a Graphite Pearl Euro with paint code NH-658P. Honda Japan didn’t originally release the Euro R in this colour, hence if you have a Graphite Pearl/Carbon Grey Euro/TSX you’ll have to get it painted.

I chose to mask it off myself to delineate between the cross bar that had to be flat black, and the rest of the grille that had to be NH-658P. Here’s the grille with the spacers you need to use to align the clip holes on the grille with the JDM radiator cover and colour coded bonnet trim.



This show’s the “single use” one way washer type clips used to anchor the mesh to the grille. Using long nosed alligator pliers, and a jewellers screwdriver, and a lot of care you can deform them enough to work them off the studs.



$86AUD and a few day’s later here’s the end result




And a close up to show the flat black to body coloured delineation illustrated in the Mugen install instructions.
