Unhappy Front bumper Fogs

Hey All
New to this site as i've recently just bought a Honda civic 1.6 Sport A Majorly needed upgrade from a corsa 1.0..:P
My front bumper looked a little different to other sports... And i think the guy before had replaced or changed the bumper from a different model.. And now has seem of of left 2 scruffily cut out holes in the bottom of the bumper..
Now my question is Can any one suggest what i could do??
Would Fog lights fit? Or could any one offer up other ideas??

Much appreciated!
Thanks all

Hey
Thanks for replying, Those Lights dont look too bad.. But the question is would they fit??
I seem to think that the guy i'd bought the car off (through a dealership) Had put an Si Front bumper or maybe an Ep3 bumper?? (You'll have to excuse my lack of knowlege..) lol
There fore i found these...any ideas? look good? would they fit?

Thanks

So since I'm not up to speed on my Euro spec Civics......you guys have Si models? I thought it was just Type Rs and such.

Errr...Just did some research....Your bumper looks very close to the 2004 & 2005 models but only one thing...there's a more plastic(painted) between the grill & where the fog lights are suppose to go. But the fog light spacing does look like the same shape. But don't go off of me tho...because I'm not absolutely sure if they really match.

^ that's not quite it.....plus that isn't his car. Although the previous owner could switched the bumpers (I know people do that on 96-98 and 99-00 civic in the US).

What year is your car? and what is the chassis code? Like ej6, em1, ek9, etc. Google it if you don't know.

EDIT: It's a Type S front bumper. BOOM I win!

Hey All!
Thanks so much for all the replies, I most definately think the previous owner changed the bumpers.. but as i said not sure to what.

My civic is an 04 1.6 sport, i think the chassis code is EP2?? il hav a quick check later tho

But i have been looking around for lights to fit those spaces, and honda only wanted £244 for it..! And thats Excl. vat and fitting!!
In my own nosing around iv found these-

Clear Fogs - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...-/200535482100
Yellow fogs - http://www.advancespeedshop.com/0205...2y-p-1207.html

Any ideas? I was leaning towards the clear ones?

Thanks again

Agreed...the clear ones look much better IMO..and everyone has the yellow ones on their Civics(around my way anyway). I mean...just image a Black car with white headlights & yellow fog lights.
Now...image a black car with white headlights & white(clear) fog lights.

You tell me which looks more crisp.
