vodapas ordered the 2nd one i believe and it didnt even fit o.O for his msp. no difference btwn p5's and msp's though.

no idea about other ppl's experience though
 
I _think_ you have to remove a tab or somesuch from it, since it's for the JDM version; Aside from that, I've heard little to nothing about it... I actually like the 258GR model grille (the third), as it looks like the grille from the 6s/MPV of the same era. I think it would be a nice, subtle change.
 
those grills are made for the different front bumpers ---

if you buy one of thier bumpers -- the stock grill will not fit -- so you have to buy a grill to go with the bumper

so your question -- will it fit a US version ----------> NO --- itll fit in the hole but not line up all the way ----

Any ways these statements are from me and me only --- this is just my 2cents on what was interped from the web site ------ enjoy :)
 
I have the second one and it fits perfect. I didn't have to do any modifications, except the 2 holes to mount it on the top.
 
The top 2 will fit the stock Australian 1.8 model bumper, it won't fit on the US P5. They may fit on your ES models? Sorry I am not sure about your 1.8 cars...
But the bottom one looks to be much the same again, the P5 has a shallower grill height for what these grills were intended, which is the Asian/Australian market I'd say...

Chicaboo.
 
The P5 and MP3 bumpers are the same. I have an MP3 and it fits very nicely. There were some other people who got this one also, but I don't remember thier names. Maybe ghostp5 was one of them.

I just got the 258gr last week..it doent fit I have a p5 and the bottom part is pointer than the bumber, you need to modify it alot to make it fit. It might fit if you sand it to make it rounder, but i havent tried yet.
 
this is from the web site its self -- i wont say i told you so --- hehehehe -- jk :)

Mazda 323 which is different from the US Protege, therefore needs modification
in order to fit the US models.

Proparts, did you attempt to fit the 258 grill yet? I want that one also but am concerned how much modification is needed. I am sure I can do the work but would love to have it drop right in. What did you pay?
 
I have the top one, didn't fit perfectly. My bodyshop had to sand down the bottom of the grill (as mentioned above) to fit.

Overall, much cheaper than the original Mintblue.
