    I like it. It brakes up the blue on the bumper.

    Just keeping this section alive around these parts...
    On our way to Thanksgiving diner. It was a big bird . . . but not as big as the beauty of driving over Cumberland, MD mountains.

    Winter shoes on of course (Michelin Xice3):

    Yes! :biggrin5:
    It's a small piece of good quality black vinyl.

    I wanted to try it because I always felt weird the bumper was designed to nicely receive a EU plate. Since I'm in the US and in PA it was a little on my mind every time I looked at it...

    I'll live with it for a while and see if I like it better :wink:

    It DOES look good and is pretty unnoticeable, unless you are MCS02!:devil:

    I don't know . . . I'm on the fence here. Does this count as a roadster? :biggrin5:


    Amazing rebuilt you did by the way . . . :eek6:

    Now, since this is the second thread with a role cage I got curious... Googled a few Miata years and realized many Miata generations didn't have a roll bar.

    I don't expect every driver to be racing, yet I was surprised by how many Miata accidents there have been just by doing an image search on Miata roll cage. try the MINI roadster and you'll have a hard time finding one.
    Of course the Miata has been sold in much greater numbers to the MINI roadster, so it's natural there will be statistically more accidents.

    It does make one wonder how effective roll bars are on the MINI? I'm sure it is good not to get crushed. But how is it going to really protect a passenger from head injury without the type or retention a sport seat provides?
    It's probably just there to increase your odds.

    Overall, I'm not too worried much at all about it anyway since I'm not racing, and don't do a tone of speedy drive. And the odds are still in my favor. But I have asked myself the question :arf:
