Richard from MX5 Plus has been talking about doing something like this...

I don't think the stock bumper would need such extensive mods though with his plan.

I like it! :D

He has the prototype sitting there made up. All it needs is for it to be finished perfectly and painted to take the mould from.

Can I add a maybe?

There's abit too much of a gap between the bottom of the NA jaw and the top of the NB grille... if you reduce that... I think you'd have a winner

But it does start looking like some of the aftermarket front bumpers around

Unfortunately not Moggy... I found that link on the miata.net site... not sure if there has been any update since I last checked.
