What front bumper is this?

Post by ryanhorton1973 » Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:27 am

Hi. Hopefully buying an NB this weekend and have seen an MX5 on the South Island with a nicer front bumper (guessing it is an NB 2.5?). Does anyone on here know where I can get one from as I'd lilke to have front fogs on the car if I get it. I have attached a couple of pictures to show what it looks like.

Thats a NB1 with the factory fog lights and front lip
If you want to switch to the NB2 front you will have to buy the whole front as the headlight housing is a slightly different shape(also projector headlights theres a couple rewiring diagrams online) and leaves a gap
I assume this is what you mean

Slightly more aggressive than the NB1 front
