Anyone got pics of the Postert kit for the P5?

I went onto their site and they have a kit for the 323 which looks like the Protege 5. I'm gonna write an email to mgracing to see if that kit fits the protege 5 and also to see how much it would cost to get here. I'll post something soon as they write back.

I already see a problem with getting the front bumper to fit. The style of the headlights in the pics are more like the 99/00 sedans, and not the 01+ Proteges... Getting it all to fit might be extra expensive if you have to get the Sport20 headlights so that the bumper will fit.

Deceptipro... I was looking at that too. Now i'm wondering if that's another option for us 99-00'ers :] I see no reason why it wouldn't fit. the 323F is the same (front end) as ours I think. I like it.

It could be. Even if the bumper doesn't contour around the North American 99/00 headlights perfectly, it's a much better fit than with the 01/02's. And I don't have any doubt the side skirts will fit, since any side skirt designed for 3rd Gens will fit any 3rd Gen...

i don't know what you guys are looking at, but to me it looks like just a front lip spoiler, yeah? and it alomost looks like it would fit any 3rd gen. (of course i could be wrong if the bottom half of the bumper is shaped different)



boy those european low-profile bumpers look sweet!

It would depend on whether it's merely a front spoiler attachment, or a complete bumper replacement. All of the body kits that I know of require the bumper to be replaced with the new bumper...in that case it would depend on whether or not it's an early or late 3rd Gen.

ok, i have fully taken control of this thread.

now, navagating the german version of the site, the front spoiler as seen on the 99-00 front end is 230 euros, and the Hero front bumper shown on th 2001+ front end is 695 euros.

anyone want to go to europe to bring these back?

so if it is just a front spoiler, it will fit all 3rd gens? the price on thier website suggests it is just a spoiler and not a complete bumper.

I'm not sure...for some reason, I think the early 3rd Gens have a more "square" bumper than the later ones....or it may just be an illusion with the difference of the shapes of the headlights....

we'll have to ask Edwin about those...
