7th gen 2008
Purchased this, however doesnt look like it fits my facelift 2008 7th gen accord cdti. might have to sell to get some funds in as got a baby on the way.

its brand new, still got the sticky tap on,

 
Silly question but was there any fitting instructions with it? And in what way does it not fit? You may have to remove the black diffuser then refit afterwards for this to fit I'm thinking?? :unsure:
 
ive not tried removing the black diffuser, i just tried to line it up and the curves of my bumper dont seem to line up.
 
Not sure if the rear bumpers are different, but that is definitely a pre-facelift rear unit.

A bit of googling seems to indicate that the bumpers are slightly different.
 
That look like the rear spolier from my 2004 tourer (expect you've it upside down)
 
I have the type s kit and that definitely isn't a type s one, looking like its the a-spec on
 
It's definitely a spec, the part numbers on it tell you that... just not sure on what version :huh: :huh: :huh:
 
Ok, so been digging, and am not sure if this is any help, but the prefacelift a-spec skirts were all unpainted, if you bought new you would get a primed piece, and all the facelift stuff was all prepainted.
