Mangoman Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi there. Is there any special process as to how to remove the Grill please? I did look, (on the Forum) but couldn't find anything. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted November 30, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hello Bill, the manual says remove the front bumper but I managed it without doing this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted November 30, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 And of course remove the 3/4 plastic retaining clips on the top of the grill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoman Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks for that.... But I think I'll do what I want to do without removal. Ciao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted December 7, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Mine was a tad fiddly to say the least, problem was access so the front bumper had to come off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoman Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I used one of these on the lower screws, which were nice and easy to remove actually. Just make sure you wear protection around your wrists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted December 7, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think Stu found that out as he lost a few pints of blood changing mine. . New grille looks coolio though as no one can tell what car it is until they see the boot badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangoman Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I still want one of those but I refuse to pay the rip-off carriage charges!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted December 7, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I know. Grille costs $20 but shipping is $3m. Luckily I got mine from Ahsy who dropped it off at Honda HQ for me as he was having some work done. Just a simple change makes a difference. I did have a red VTEC badge on there too but removed it as I thought it looked too big. Might get a smaller more subtle one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted November 8, 2018 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Sorry if it's the wrong place - but does anyone know if this is an available grille? Or a one off? https://pin.it/clz3qpivpb4otk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted November 8, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Think Kelvin is referring to the UK accord style looking grill, could be wrong? I would have thought it is a one-off as the this is facelifted bumper which has the grill combined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted November 9, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 What Stu said.....also from memory this guy was/is on the U.S forum that I was a member of and he said that he had made quite a lot of modifications in order for the grille to fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted November 9, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 How about this....I appreciate a little steep and unpainted. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Type-R-Mesh-Style-Replacement-Grille-For-98-02-Accord-Coupe-CG2-CG3-CG4/280949051672?hash=item4169de5118:g:IY4AAOSwlsda6hSi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess plastidip or something could sort that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertical slats and chrome surround. Read a lot of forum posts on US sites but got no info, hence asking on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted November 10, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 No it was from the US about 8 years ago. Actually I bought 2 as the first one wasn’t the style I wanted and I sold that to Geoff(Lennie Legend). The second one is the same as the one in the link I sent you. Back then I paid about £25-£30 delivered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
