How to fit EG6 bumper to EG8? suggestions required

[shabbir.1]

Hi All Pakwheelers!

I m going to fit 3 door civic (EG6) bumper to my 4 door civic (EG8). The problem is that it actually don't fit to it. It requires an expert body work. I have got following items in addition to my own car parts:
EG6 bumper
EG6 bonnet
EG6 fenders
EG6 parking lights
I want to execute this project in one of the following ways:

Option A:
If only EG6 parts are used they mate perfectly with each other at the front. However it leaves a continuous gap up to 2 inches between the fenders and the front doors. The mechanic told me that he can weld a strip with both the fenders, but i doubt how will it look after the job is finished.

Option B:
If I use the EG6 bonnet and my own 4 door fenders then the fenders don't align with the bonnet and also there is a small but unnoticeable gap between the bonnet and the fenders starting at the top which gradually vanishes downwards. However the EG6 bumper gives an aggressive look to the car and it also matches with the contours of EG6 bumper.

Please suggest which option should I opt or what other best way can you suggest.

Only Experts and those who have actually done this should reply. Also suggest me a best denter for this work in Peshawar.

go for option A, thats the right way to do it, ask the denter to make a strip and weld to the eg6 fenders....the lights and bonnet will line up very nicely. also as u have the front parking lights, the lights will sit flush and align correctly.

i have done the same, check out my cars pic for reference...altho i had eg6 parking lights which my denter lost so got the normal ones which dont sit right

if u fit the eg6 parking lights, they are smaller in size and so they fit nicely.....the 4 door lights are bigger and dont sit properly...

have to find some eg6 parking lights myself, if you have an extra pair then let me know please

Thank you so much "Waitnbl33d" for the reply. Yes you are right, if I am using EG6 fender then I have to use EG6 parking/corner lamp and if I am using EG8 fender then I have to use EG8 parking/corner lamp. However the 4 dr parking/corner lamps will never flush with the EG6 bumper.
I am myself inclined towards "Option B" above as the 4 dr fenders and parking/corner lamp are readily available if I have to replace them in future.
Can you please tell me how the fenders are looking after the welding job, do they look perfectly aligned on your car.

Brother I will try to find EG6 corner lamps for you. Moreover I have got 2/3 dr Fog lamps (brand new) with clear lens and also a 2/3 dr bumper just like the one fitted to you car. I am about to make a new thread for to sell these items.

Option A is still best as it aligns correctly but yes parts r not readily available. I've attached a.side picture of my car u can see the fenders aligned with the doors.

Brother if you check above the pictures from 9 to 12 one can clearly observe that if a strip is welded to fill in the gap between fenders and doors, the moldings on the door and fender will remain apart from each other.
But the side view of your car shows that they are touching each other. So have you relocated the fender moldings? and/or what procedure have you followed as they seem that nothing has been modified and the fenders are original as depicted.
Please also give me your cell number as I want to talk you directly.

Bro u don't need to put a strip between bumper and fender. You have to weld a strip between the door and fender gap on the fender side.

Sorry it was mistakenly written as bumper. But you have still missed the important part of my question. If a strip is welded the plastic moldings on doors and fenders will remain apart from each other, but in your case they are touching each other so my question is, have you relocated the fender moldings towards the doors after welding the strip? or what have you actually done that it doesn't look like a strip is placed in between.
