Pre-facelift or facelift?

[EJ_driver]

Hello!

I have civic EJ9/1999/1.4iS

I decided to change front grill to mesh style grill so i need to know will my car fit 96-98 or 99-00 grill? If i don't have facelift will it fit from 96-98?
Bumper is from sedan i think

Thanks!

I believe north america got the facelift a year before euro/asia got it.

OP you need a "96-98" grille, even though you have a 99 civic, because it still has the pre-facelift design. It doesn't matter what trim because the sedan, hatch, and coupes all shared a front end.

Car first registration was in Germany 03/99.
Probably Billy is right.

So now i know that i have european 96-99 civic.
Thanks for help!
