P5 front bumper

[Sharki]

I'm not sure if this topic is cover a whole lot but i need some input.
I have a friend that works for a mazda dealer and she is going to get me the
P5 bumper (super cheap) for my 03 protege Sedan. and she told me that it will fit. has anyone here done this swap before? and are the fog light wiring kit the same with the P5 and sedan? (plug and play)

What's wrong with the Front Air Dam for a sedan? Looks really hot, and so much easier and cheaper to do. I have it in my sig...

Nothing wrong, I got my MSP bumper handed to me by my insurance for $35... painted. Whats wrong with that? lol

The MSP/P5 front bumper looks better than the lip IMO.

That's awesome, thanks for the quote Jeg

Best advice I can give is to check out the MP3/MSP conversion thread that jeg posted, I got an idea of what parts I needed there. The fact that you can do the swap using stock Mazda parts makes it pretty easy compared to other cars.

x2 its much more agressive then the sedans. and i was never to big on the smiley fave it gives the front end

If your gonna do thhat type front end..Defiantely Get the MP3/MSP front bumper..Looks much cleaner without the side marker lightsthat the P5 has.

do any of you know if the centre grill (M logo is) needs to be replaced? or is the p5 and sedan the same centre grill?

they are different!

 

[Sharki]

what is the differance with the centre grills anyways? and do i need a p5 center grill to fill this bumper or could i get away with mine?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

the grill with the mazda emblem in it, between the lamps, will not interchange with sedans and protege5s. slightly different angles and shape to either.

 

[D-rock240]

You can see the difference here, especially the bottom part:

 

[Sharki]

Looks like the MSP grill is a little smaller.i take it that the curves down the hood on the saden match the P5 bumper?

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

The hoods are the same.

 

[ffocused.]

Hoods, fenders and headlights are the same correct?

 

[CiviCity]

Old threat much lol.

To answer you, hood and fenders are the same. Headlights, size wise are the same, but the p5 have two bulbs, one for daylight and the other is a high beam. The sedan has one bulb for low/high.
