hello all,

I have a question (have tried searching here and the net and ain't come up with anything yet) the UK 5th gen preludes have a really crap rear bumper. our bumpers have a insert where the number plate goes. where as yours are all smooth with no add on bits. my question is quite simple all i want to know is if the two different types of bumper are interchangeable or if the conversion is problematic. any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks folks

:turn:

They should be interchangeable. I don't see why not

+1 like he said, the bumper should be interchangable...they may be different bumper designs but u would think they would mount and attach the same way if not really similar

The bumpers should bolt right up.

However, we dont have the rear fog light that you guys have on the EDM prelude. Isnt that required??

The rear fog light is required but the one thats already in my bumper has a kind of rubber seal that covers over about 5mm of the bumper its self. that should be more than enough to hide any cutting if you have a reasonably steady hand. As for the number plate people who have jap import versions over hear just use a square number plate with the first 4 characters at the top hand the following 3 at the bottom. (like on a motor bike)

Honda told me that the number plate surround costs ÂŁ118 and by the time its been painted i would be looking at ÂŁ200 not including fitment. so i think it would be worth the extra cash to get a new jap rear bumper and get it painted.

it would be great if they are interchangeable. fingers crossed heres hoping
