Front bar for Na

[lowmiata]

Probably best to ask Lowmiata.

was 365 bucks from car mate
if you cant do the work youself expect to pay roughly that again + a bit extra to get it to fit properly

and on top of that it wasn't the bar that I originally ordered.
after waiting 8 weeks to be told sorry we sold that one to some one
4 weeks later they send me my bar with bomex sunken sections and the 10mm rudius cutin all the way around all has since grown on me but I wasn't happy

I did all the work myself so I can write the cost off but if you were getting someone to fit the cost could get exy

I bought my RB type 1 bar from miata sport in adelaide along with the rest of my kit
I since sold the roadstercover to drift fury and the rb1 bar to UA

defianatly buyer be ware

FWIW the RB1 copy (SSV Miatasport)fit quite well and offer a sexy alternative to the front lip and the bottom section does come out as far as the nose

I have had the front lip the RB1 nose and now the one I have got if i were to do another mx it would have the rb1 or 2 nose

if you can get genuine rb stuff it fits really well and worth it

i'm thinking a little bit too much blue saturation in photoshop

the RB1 nose i bought has some join marks in it at either end, near where the reflectors go. looks like the end bits are joined on after the main part is moulded. i guess it'll need to be bogged up or something, before painting. is this normal ? ? i gotta say i was a little dissapointed with that. i thought it would be a simple job to fit it, but this complicates things a bit.

yes this is normal
they are casting marks
reason being when the female mould is made the inner wheel arches of the mould have to be removeable so you can remove the piece

some body kits come with this already removed but it depends on how much you spend on a kit

(anything made in aus usually has these casting marks)

no bar though would come though ready to put paint on even rb stuff or genuine VS stuff would have to be guide coated and final preped before paint.

ok, thanks for the explanation mate.

that yellow car is from new zealand...the front bar had some minor repairs done to it and is still looking good....(same cant be said for the supercharged car it came off!!!)

[lowmiata]

Can anyone let me know if these two front bars are the same?
I am looking at getting the Carmate BX front bar, but the only picture they have is the blue one and it's not clear enough to see properly.
Col

yes they are the same however carmate will have a dislaimer saying product might vary blah blah blah
mine wasn't like pictured
mine actually has the top section looking the same as these ones but bottom is totally diferent
bottom bit was correct IE what i wanted but i didn't want the sunken lights

I am happy with it now though

whats the price from car mate?
I would go bomex over the other one

is it autosalon style you woant or just better than stock looks?

there is a kit that gives the mx a very S2000 look at the front that would be worth looking at not sure wether carmate stock it though but have seen it in aus

[lowmiata]

the one I was thinking of is on their site as the MD style front bar

but it has the line and nostroles like mine and doesn't look anything like it was copied off!
