mx5 nb gt200 wide body kit by Jetstream

Postby carlmx5 » Thu Dec 20, 2012 8:19 pm

hey guys a quick question, i've been eyeing on this body kit since i've had my mx5 and i was wondering if this body kit is adaptable for the early NB since my car is 99, and to the looks of it, this body kit is for the 01-05 model. From what i heard the sides and rear of the nb are pretty much the same except the front bumper which is a bit different, anyone have any thoughts?

How are you going to get it here? I would be all over that Clubman R package myself!

Anything is adaptable, it is all just plastic and fibreglass. It looks like the bodykit just sits over the top of the front bumper, I don't think there would be much difference apart from the slightly more aggressive headlights and the shaping in the bumper in the corner of the lights?

Yea i think it does sit on top. but would i have a hard time trying to get it to fit to the front bumper considering the different shapes between the 2 nb models?

Looks like there are some differences in the shape of the front bar on the corner. The bodykit looks quite complex, I think it would take some tweaking and a bit of bog to get it fitting really nicely.

Why don't you change the front bar and lights to nb8b? And how much is the kit?

I was thinking that but if the job is easy to just adapt it id do that. kit on the other hand is over a few thousand dollars
