In theory it should fit, although you may need to punch some holes in your door cards. I would advise that you remove one of your door cards and have a look at the mounting holes behind. These pods require mounting screws along the lower edge and a screw level with the top of the speaker hole.

I notice, looking at the photo of the speaker pods that one of them appear to be missing a mounting lug level with the top of the speaker. If it is broken off, but included, this should not be a problem as it is under compression when fitted and a bit of glue or plastic weld will be sufficient to hold it in place.
 
i dont really care about scrows as i can fit them somehow. the problem is with the shape of the back of this part, is it all flat or is it curved? for example:

It's curved....pics from a 5 door ELX

Behind that curve it is empty and butts up to the card. So you would need the whole door card (n)

I take it you have an sx 5 door?....3 door (sporting) speaker pods are flatter, but if it is for a 5 door they would be no good either as they are much longer.

Cabrio ones are too long also, being 3 door and also curve.

So I know these pics will be no use to you really, but for anyone else wondering about fitment...
