The changing face of the MX5

Postby Nevyn72 » Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:55 pm

Stumbled across this image recently and I was surprised at just how much the "Face" of the MX5 has changed over the years! :shock:

By cutting it down to the simplest elements it shows not only how much variation between the series there are but also how much there is with model revisions too.....

Hope this doesn't start any fights. :oops:

Maybe you should consider 'researching' for a living, as you always come up with this stuff.
No fights - we all know the NA is the best. Lol

:

ND headlights = Too small
NA headlights = Too big
NC headlights = Too bland
NB Mk2.5 headlights = Just right :P

To me the NC is the r33.
Na/nb very similar, dimension wise. NC is the barge.

So the NC is not my favourite but still represents good value for money and has many improvements over an NA.

The size isn't important, it's how you use it, and NA headlights pop up so clearly it's the best.

On that poster, the ND looks like it's constipated & really pushing hard. NA all the way.
