The same thing happened to me. A bird must have just wanted to run into my grill.

But the replacement..

Easy. All you have to do is jack the front up allitle for extra room.

Then just remove a couple screws/clips that hold the thing in.

Its about a 20 minute job.

Just say NO to mesh/chicken wire. It'll look like garbage. I hit a big chunk of ice last winter, replaced the grill for something like $20 in 15 minutes or so start to finish.

cant u just buy a new grill from another P5? thats what i would do.

A brand new lower grill is only $26.94 from online mazda parts. It will look far better than trying to do something with wire.

where i live i can hunt down a wrecked P5 an maybe snag a lower grill for 10 maybe 5 bucks

New Grill from your local dealer is the way to go.....No shipping from Online Mazda parts and Still under $30.....Dont do chicken wire....It just makes you a tool and a fool if you do.
