The front bumper of an MX5 NB (1998–2000) is the face of the car. This body part largely determines the appearance of the front end and is simultaneously exposed to stone chips, weather conditions, and minor parking damage. Furthermore, the underside of the bumper is constantly exposed to dirt and water kicked up from the road surface. That’s why owners who pay extra attention to protecting the front end often opt for mud flaps that help minimize splashing dirt around the wheel wells and bodywork. Around the bumper, there are also mounting points, grilles, and covers that together ensure a clean fit with the bodywork.
