Thanks to you guys I think I finally know all i need to get my MSP front bumper on my Protege5, the one with the stock protege front end. Im sure the headlights are the same shape, and im pretty sure the grill works on it too. The bumper support is questionable, but i know i need the splash guards. I have the CAI, so i need the splash guards to keep it dry. Where can I find the splash guard that will fit my MSP bumper?

 

The grille won't work. The bumper support is also different.

www.onlinemazdaparts.com has the piece you need, I can dig up the part numbers (I had to replace mine) when I get a chance. You can e-mail mazdapart@gmail.com and explain your situation, and Jason will find what you need.

There are Mazda dealer vendors on this site, so I'd give them a call/e-mail first. I just use onlinemazdaparts.com because the parts lookup catalog is awesome. Make sure you choose the "body" catalog instead of the mechanical. The splash guards you need will be listed as being for the hatchback or the "Protege w/ mps option". I think they are like $60something a piece :'(

 

I need one of those too but no wai will I pay $60 for a piece of plastic. Junk yards .. here I come.

Try www.car-part.com

 

for the support do i need "Absorber - Sedan 2001-03 w/mps option - Sedan 2001-03 w/mps options" Its like $45, the "reinforment" is like $200.

For the splash guards, I need different wheel wells and the plastic on the bottom too?

 

dude, isn't the MSP bumper the exact same thing as the p5 bumper?>
they even share the same fog lights on the 03 version.
now, if your talking about the lower lip....

 

Check out the link in my sig, i have a regular Protege front end, hold on a second *barf*, sorrry i really hate the front end of my car

 

The wheel well splash guard is also the one that goes under the bumper (protecting a CAI filter if you have one).

I think the reinforcement comes with the absorber pre-installed, but don't quote me on that. Send an e-mail to mazdapart@gmail.com (or make a PM in the protegegarage subforum in the vendor section since he's back on here) for confirmation.
