Default You don't want to do that. *waves hands* You don't need to see his identification...

It'll look super-duper-goofy.

First off the styling just doesn't match, but I guess that's a matter of taste.

More practically, the wheel arches won't line up right since the B4 is flared more. Minor, but noticeable.

You'll have to either find or fabricate brackets to hang it. Also I don't think it will mate up to your under-engine pan, if you still have that, so you'll have to find a B3 pan if you want one.

The lights have to come from Europe, no lights like that were sold in the U.S. Lights from a 80, 90, Coupe, S2, and some Cabriolets (?) will fit. You'll also need to find the lower grilles, junkyards can help you there.

Get an S2 or Euro Coupe bumper instead, they will look much better than the B3 sedan bumper on your car. Look at q.Pilot's signature pic to see what a Euro Coupe bumper looks like on a B4 sedan, it's pretty sharp.

What's wrong with your current bumper? Why are we looking to do things that aren't "that bad"?
