On an MX5 NB (1998–2000), emblems are more than just brand or model identifiers. They are part of the original bodywork finish and are often located in places that immediately catch the eye. At the front, they often blend seamlessly with the grille and other visible parts of the front end, allowing various body panels to form a unified whole. On the trunk lid and front bumper, emblems are exposed daily to the elements, cleaning, and UV-radiation. As a result, over time they can discolor, become damaged, or detach from the sheet metal. Especially on a car where details are so crucial to its appearance, neat accents often make all the difference.
