Euro Front End Swap...

First off, hey guys I am new here.

I dont own a Civic, but my GF does and she really really likes the Euro Headlights and she is getting into Modifying her car.

But the real point of this thread is to see if you can swap over the Euro Headlights & Center Light/Grille or would there need to be major mod's to make them fit.

Euro Version


US Coupe Version


From what I see the Euro has Acute Angles for their headlights thus meaning you would need to swap over Fenders, Hood, & Bumper Cover. Back me up or prove me wrong on that because I feel I am pretty positive on having to do that.

Ill go Introduce myself the right way in a couple minutes.

Re: Euro Front End Swap...

Why would u wanna do that?? It is seriously not worth it no matter how good it looks like. Its gonna be super hard to get it shipped here let alone I dont think anyone here has done it before to give you a straight answer if it would fit or not. But I guess if you have the $$ its all u..........

I figured no one had done this before, but it was worth a try.

Honestly I dont think it would be worth the $$$ either, but its my GF's car and her decision.

Reminds me of the RSX front end swap on 7thgen Civic's back in the day. Anything is possible with money. I don't think its worth the time and effort, but you'd be the first to try. And that... is baller/

Well I talked to my GF and told her it would be way to much $$$ and time to spend on it, so she agreed.

Give a couple months and youll see some appearance mods.

Re: Euro Front End Swap...

there's another reason why it might be a problem. Thats a different model. There IS another version of our G8 civics but it is a very slight difference. The front and rear treatments are different (love the front bumper) and so are the headlights and taillights but the rest of the car is essentially the same. Because of this, it is almost certain that the stuff off of the euro civc, which comes in a 3-door hatch and a five(2 suicide)-door hatch, will not fit without some major reconstruction (basically a completely custom front end to take the different contours and everything. This is what the other iteration of our civic looks like (basically)
