First hardtop I've seen with a chrome fuel lid. Apparently the Mazda chrome Fuel Lid does not fit the hardtop.

I'll have to source one from GoMiata.com

Seconded! Certainly, i can NOT envisage yellow calipers working on your car! Silver maaaaybe.... !

Loving the chrome/black theme otherwise. Just, no chromies please! Well, SSR's or Work Meisters with lots of dish... THAT would be okay :D

They do have a fuel lid for the NC hard top but you do need to specify it is for the hard top, It is different than the soft top one. They actually sent me the wrong one first time round and had to re-send the right one.

The spoilers are different too and looking at the one that Go Miata are selling I would say it is for the soft top only, there does not seem to be any option to specify the hard top. If you do speak to them and find out I would be very interested in the spoiler for mine.

On miata.net forums there was a discussion about a spoiler for the hard top that a Canadian Mazda dealer is selling that seems to have been made by a local firm, But I do not like the look of that spoiler and much prefer the MS one. I guess one will come eventually but does seem to be taking a very long time.

I guess you will be fine with the scuff plates, the only difference in the cars seems to be the boot area.

Again, let me know if you have any luck on the spoiler!

Cheers


No it will not fit the hard top unit





All the best,

Greetings,



I own an Australian Mazda MX5 2007 Hardtop Automatic and would like to purchase the following from your website.

1. Genuine Mazda Miata MX-5 Rear Lip Spoiler 2.006-2008

2. Genuine Mazda Miata Scuff Plates 2006-2008!

3. Miata Chrome Fuel Door 1999 - 2008

Now the Spoiler and Chrome Fuel Door lid that Mazda Australia supplies does not fit the australian Mazda MX5 in Hardtop.



What i want to know is if your items above will fit my Australian Mazda NC Hardtop MX5?



Let me know please.



Thank you
