Absolute rubbish. Not the same shape / size as the original. Supplied fittings rubbish and fixing holes do not line up to match the original. Now stuck as damaged the original beyond repair getting it off the car. Very disappointed - with so much poor feedback, why is this respected site still selling this item?Editors Note: These plinths are a direct copy of the Genuine Mazda one that is no longer available. They were never supplied from the factory and were fitted by dealers in the UK when the cars were new, and they were the ones that drilled the original holes. We suspect that Mazda UK did however change supplier part way through the cars production, so we can only sumise that there are two types, the one we had copied being the later version, and may have the holes in a different place. For reference, the hole spacing on the Mk2 & 2.5 plinths we sell are 34cm.

I had this professionally fitted with my bodykit and certainly looks better than simply having the number plate directly stuck to the bumper.As usual, super fast delivery and excellent customer serviced from the MX5 parts team!

Usual prompt delivery, bit disappointed with product however its very flimsy and I cracked it unpacking it! Thank the lord for superglue. I just wonder how long it will last?

I have to agree with the other negative reviews of this item. Am on to my second from MX-5 Parts and both have shattered on light parking-type impacts with walls, posts etc where they really should not have. Also very expensive for what you get.The plastic is simply too thin, brittle and weak at the corners to stand up to any contact. Plus getting the thing to fit to the bumper involves screwing it on (forget the supplied clips - they won't hold it securely) and the rubber surround does not fit well. Please, MX-5 Parts, upgrade this item!! Why not manufacture in a semi-rigid rubber??It does look nice when it lasts though!!

This item works well and fits well as long as you ditch the totally useless fitting plugs and use a couple of self tapping screws and washers, I can only imagine all the negative comments relate to the fact it doesn’t unwrap itself from the packing and attach itself to the bumper like a homesick limpet the second you open the box!

Very poor quality item. The plastic creacks very easily, the fittings don't hold the plinth on. Dissapointed.

MK2 : Did the job but it needed quite a bit of filing and drilling to get the holes lined up. The trim surround had to be tamed by putting it in boiling water before fitting ( so it would mould to the plinth) and the plastic bolts which come with the kit were not up to the job so had to be replaced by a couple of self tapping screws. Apart from that , it was easy!
