Default Facelift OEM Front Lip - Where?

Anyone know where to get a facelift OEM front lip apart from Honda who say they can only sell it with the rear spoiler for about £1000!

Any good sellers on ebay selling replicas etc?

There's loads of threads in this if you search.

It seems that most don't fit well at all.

Si at Hendy will sell you an OEM front lip on its own IIRC

thanks for the info guys, bleedin' expensive for a bit of plastic!

I kinda agree Aston, i do like the bumper without, i think the front lip on it's own makes the car a little front heavy looking, needs skirts to really pull it off i think.

After you've seen it with the lip it'll just look like a grandpa without his teeth in when you take it off

The OEM lip might be expensive but it comes pre painted and the fit is perfect, it just bolts right on with no problems.

Plus when they are soon discontinued it will be worth a fortune!

Thats not toooo bad when you consider you still need to paint the ebay ones (£100-200), and faff trying to get it to fit. Might as well spend the extra £100 and get a proper jobby.


May well do this when I have a few £ spare. Probably never then
