Will the grille from a 6 fit my 2006 3 Hatch?

[wannazoomina3]

I want to change the grille on my 2006 3 Hatch and found the style I want...but it's from a 6...will it fit on my 3?

Here is a picture of the grille from the 6...

If thats the same as the i model grille then it will fit if you cut your bumper cover....there is a "how to" somewhere on this forum or ************..

If it's from a Mazda6, I seriously doubt it will fit. The 3 sedan and 3 hatch don't share any body parts, so I can't imagine why any from a 6 would work.

Both of those grilles are still designed for the Mazda3.

The 6 grille will not fit without serious bodywork.
