Mazda 6 Front Grille Replacement Parts

The Mazda 6 has run across three generations in the UK: the first generation (GG/GY platform) ran from 2002 to 2007, the second generation (GH platform) from 2008 to 2013, and the third generation (GJ platform) from 2013 onwards. Front grilles are specific to their generation and are not interchangeable between generations, so always make sure the part matches your car's generation. Confirm the exact year range with your breaker against your registration to be sure.

The third-generation Mazda 6 (GJ, 2013 onwards) received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front end including the grille, bumper and lights. A grille from a pre-2017 GJ car and one from a post-2017 GJ car may look different and may not interchange correctly. Confirm with your breaker against your registration whether the specific grille they have crosses that 2017 facelift boundary and suits your car.

These two cars sit either side of the third-generation GJ facelift boundary, with the facelift arriving in 2017. The front-end styling changed at that point, so the grilles from these two years are likely to differ in appearance and fitting. Check with your breaker against your registration before purchasing, as whether the specific part interchanges across that 2017 boundary needs to be confirmed for the exact grille in question.

For the Mazda 6, trim level - whether that's SE, SE-L, Sport or Sport Nav - does not affect which front grille fits, as the grille is shared across the range within the same generation and facelift period. However, it is worth knowing that some trim levels may have had slightly different finishes or detailing on the grille, so the part from a different trim may be a cosmetic mismatch even if it bolts on correctly. Your breaker can advise on the specific finish of the part they have.

No - the front grille is part of the shared front-end structure across body styles within the same Mazda 6 generation and facelift period, so whether your car is a saloon or a Tourer estate does not affect which grille you need. The key questions are which generation your car belongs to and which side of any facelift boundary it sits on. Confirm these details with your breaker against your registration to make sure the part is correct for your car.

Give the breaker your full registration number, as this allows them to identify your exact generation, facelift period and specification without any guesswork. It is also useful to mention the model year and body style so they can quickly match the part from their stock. This is especially important if your car is close to a facelift year such as 2017 on the third-generation GJ, where front-end parts changed.
