Hey does anyone know a place online that sells Honda euro spec parts. I'm looking for the BB8 front bumber. If any one could help me out I would appreciate it.

 

BB8 = 5G Prelude with H22 engine and 4WS. The 4WS is the only difference between BB8s and BB6s.

So why does it need to be from a BB8? Also, BB8s are available in Japan as well as Europe.

So why does it need to be from a Euro version?

 

He most likely saw something on a euro BB8 and was told that it was specific to that car when it was probably an aftermarket part. OP, got a pic of what your talking about since the BB8 bumper is the same as a BB6?

 

Well they are the same EXCEPT
The BB8 front bumpers DO NOT have holes cut for sidemarkers (because they are mounted on the fenders).

Here is the website of a Honda dealer in the UK. If you have a part# you can order from them (if they ship to the US).

BB8 bumpers are identical to BB6 bumpers. However, any Prelude bumper that isn't USDM or CDM will have the sidemarkers on the fenders. BB6 or BB8 doesn't matter in the slightest.

 

The reason I was asking is because every bb8 I've see does not have those side markers, I'm sure I could just have a body shop shave them off when I get my lude painted but I wanted to see the pricing on the Euro BB8's because they do not come with side markers from factory.

 

BB8's are European preludes they're not made in japan just like the Euro-r Accord is not made for the JDM. If I'm wrong give me a link to prove other wise, because through my research that is what I have found, the bb8 preludes are only factory built for Europe.

 

You're double wrong. First for saying something incorrect. Second for arguing with me once you've been corrected.

Here's your link:

As I've already stated, BB8 simply means H22 engine + 4WS. Japan had 4WS also. Furthermore, as I've already stated, any non-USDM or non-CDM bumper will have the sidemarkers on the fenders and not on the bumper. So any bumper that isn't from North America will be what you want. That means you could also use a BB5, BB6, BB7, or BB9 bumper.

And to answer your initial question, check ebay and foreign Prelude forums like PreludeAustralia.com. Shipping might cost an arm and a leg though.

 

Ok thanks for the input, lol I really shouldn't argue with you.

 

Finally! :-)

 

LOL....All the info provided is all very true. There's no difference with the BB6 and BB8 bumpers. Both styles don't have side markers, but there are a few that have a big fog light on the sides that act as turn signals just like you see on the Cadillacs...

Why go through the trouble of finding one online when you can just simply have your current bumper shaved and repainted? If you find one online, you'll probably be paying more for it cause of dealing with shipping and then repainting it.
