change front end of civic

Ok maybe this is a bit strange but we have a 1999 honda civic 1.4 mb2 (rover lookalike) shape that needs a new front end. We know its bolt on parts but can't find parts or donor car so wondered if any of the other models might fit. Its literally wings, bonnet bumper, grill ect.

Car drives perfect and with full nct apart from some ejit reversing into it so scrapping it be a shame.

Any suggestions

No other civic will be a straight fit, just check partfinder.ie or traynors.biz

dunnno if a 45/400 front end would fit. Probably would.

Convert it to a Rover 400 front end for laughs. Surely you'd get the Rover bits for nothing these days since there is no one left to buy them. Should be identical behind those slightly differant shaped panels. Those 400's after all were a Honda with Rovers own famous HG blowing engine.

OR just get the original Honda bits ;-)

Doors are different so it wouldn't be an exact fit. Didn't the aerodeck have the same front?

Try the Northern Ireland breakers as they should have loads of them. Most do COD service too

You could get an entire undamaged car here for €600.
