there is only one size through out the E30 range.

there are different light surround grills such as the USA spec that has bigger lights as they are sealed beams, and some have different air flow cut outs - but even these are practically interchangable.

as far as im aware there is 1 size kidney grill. my reason for saying this is before i bought my current car off last owner i had a kidney grill off my old pre-facelift which i sprayed black ready to fit my car which is a facelift!
if there were any differences i think it would have been between pre and facelifted cars imo :)

I think there's two types, both the same size. One for vehicles with a/c and one not. I think this was the case when I was looking to get a replacement.
