“Received my Grille today and went straight out to fit it. Should have been an easy fit, except one of my tow hooks was bent down blocking fitment, so 2 1/2 hours later...grrr....Anyway, would normally be a 10 minute job. Very easy, no instructions needed.Once I had it fitted, stood back and admired. Cleans up that horrible gap nicely.Fits nicely, looks great, cheap upgrade. Can't go wrong :-)”

“I have fitted two of these now, one to my own '05 Icon and one to my friend's '03 Nevada. The hardest part was removing the bolts on one car, but a squirt of WD40 helped, and they came out using a 10mm socket. I replaced the bolts with stainless steel ones to minimise any future problems if I have to take them off again.Delivery and communications were faultless, and the grilles slipped easily into place on both cars. From the bits of twigs I saw wedged in the front of the radiator while I was fitting the grille, it is apparent that the rad is very vulnerable to debris hoovered up from the road, and these grilles provide reassuringly sturdy protection when fitted.Recommended. 10/10 for both the product and MX5parts.”

“Delivered within 24 hours. Took 5 mins to fit. It took longer to get my socket from the toolbox.Followed a previous tip and sprayed the 2 bolts with WD 40 ages before starting. Finishes the look of the front end just right, not too flashy with the added bonus my radiator has got some protection now .”

“Looks the part, very easy to fit & safe in the knowledge that the radiator is protected from the open mouth, the hard bit was releasing 2 10 mm bolts that hadn't moved since the car was made.Copious amounts of oil & a good ring spanner are essential but definitely well worth e effort”

“We have bought a couple of these for both our MX5s and they are really easy to fit, and after three years still look as good as new.”

“Takes longer to make a good cup of tea than it does to fit this, forget your smart socket set, grab a 10mm ring spanner. Not as 'flashy' as the wire mesh versions (more for the "I want to look like a Jag" brigade), but at half the price you can feel reassured your radiator is safe from any terrorist attacks”

“Once again unbelievable service from MX5 Parts. Ordered one of these grills just after 10am on the Thursday, arrived before 12 noon the following day. Dead easy to fit, a quick tip though, give retaining bolts a good soaking in penetrating fluid and use a socket and extension bar to remove, it works a treat and when fitted looks really good. Once again a big thank you to MX5 Parts.”
