Air Dam

Post by penelopepitstop » Mon May 18, 2009 9:42 am

last night i hit a possum and wrecked my after-market fibreglass airdam lip. We have never seen another lip quite like ours and are wondering if anyone can direct us to someone who can sell us a new one? Cheers.

It looks like a factory lip spoiler. You can get them new from Mazda or second hand from a wrecker.
The alternative is to get the spoiler repaired if it is fibreglass.

Mine is a fibreglass factory replica, as yours appears to be, and got it from MX5 Mart in Hamilton. (see link above)

Just ressurecting an older thread.

Has anyone priced up a genuine front lip from Mazda? I want to get one but, in general, am not keen on fibre glass bits for parts of the car that are in the 'firing line' (i.e. kerbs, gravel etc)

I've been keeping an eye out on Trademe and Mx5 mart for a OEM rubber/plastic one but haven't seen anything yet.

I don't suppose you have any pictures of the two? I have only seen the OEM one piece lip with the two holes in it. Curious as to what the two piece looks like?

Ditto- I'm only aware of the lip with the two 'brake ducts' on each side similiar to the fibre glass replicas that are avaliable.
Edit:

A- Lip would be fine: Image

C-Lip would be better 8)
