Keep an eye out for them on ebay, that's where I got some from and they were reasonable. Can't find a pic at the moment.

There's a guy on eBay america that sells the factory ones. In the end I think it comes out to being about $60USD for a set (ie fronts or rears). Not bad, but not great either.

I'm still half on the hunt for these, but with still no luck. The ones from MX5parts don't look factory. Especially those rear ones... not a fan of those at all. Plus at about 60 pounds, that's most definitely not cheap.

Let us know if you find somewhere that can get them at a reasonable price :D

Front factory covers and [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Miata-Body-Kit-Rear-Lamp-Bezel-Tail-light-bezel_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33654QQihZ007QQitemZ170071706991QQrdZ1]rear factory covers.

If you're keen on them, maybe we can do an order of two sets of front and rears? It might save us a fair bit on the shipping, and bring them to a much more reasonable cost.

bargain at only $15999 1989 as well should have gotten that instead of my 2000 NB8A :roll:

back on topic though
I wouldn't mind a set of those headlight covers, don't mind if they are the full surrounds or the eyelids but for a reasonable price

I'm quite new here so what's all this I keep reading about group buys?? if there are enough people interested could this be organised??

Yeah, if we group buy, it saves on shipping (hopefully).
I'm much more a fan of the full surround. The eyelids don't particularly interest me, but the factory surrounds look quite noice if I do say so myself :P

So who's actually keen then?
