difference between 04 & 07?

[Jay_berns]

Are there any differences apart from the grille/headlights? and I'm guessing the engines (Cdtis) were the same throughout the cars lifesapn?

My headlights have a sky blue side reflector thing and the 04 has a black part in its place. is this just part of the facelift change or are the lights actually different in anyway other than colour?

I only ask as I've picked up a 04 to repair mine (07) the bottom end has gone on mine and the injectors are knackered on this some going to make a working engine out the pair then put that in the 07. but I'm also planning to switch the lights as one of mine looks like it's been polished with sand paper on one side <_< and bonnet has been horribly abused by a machine polisher and has gone through the piant so looking to nick a few other bits too.

Headlights are the same, the facelift just has clear indicators and a clear blue reflector. It's a nice mod, I did it on mine when I owned an Accord.

Bonnet is different however, as is the grill, bumper foglights etc.

facelift engines has revised timing chain ***embly, revised oil pump and different EGR arrangement but pretty much the same.

See this link for full details of the differences - makes good reading

A little off topic from the diesels, ive noticed from reading the specs on the 2.4s that the facelift type s have slightly less weight, slightly more torque (164 lb vs 162 lb) yet the 0-62 is a touch more and top speed is a touch less.
Thought it be other way round.

Cheer's for the replies, got car down unit today noticed a few difference's, looks like i wont be nicking the bumper its not as nice as the acelift one I'll just put a splitter on it, might still nick the older lights mind.

I'll have a good read of that link when I'm home. Will it still be possible to put the head out of the 07 onto this or am I going to have to just fork out for new injectors fix it then switch the engine over?

The head and injectors will be the same. Just make sure you code the injectors in. You may need to use the inlet manifold that comes with your head actually.. So just check the bolts line up with the other manifold first.
