Mazda MX5 Mk2 Car Parts

The Mark 2 (NB) features fixed headlamps instead of pop-ups, a glass rear window replacing the plastic version, and improved structural rigidity. While some purists prefer the Mark 1's character, the Mark 2's refinements make it a more practical classic, particularly for daily use.

The Mark 2's glass rear window is bonded to a plastic surround, which can delaminate over time. If you're experiencing this common issue, replacement is straightforward with our complete window assembly. DIY repairs rarely provide a long-term fix, so full replacement is usually the most reliable option.

The usual suspects are window regulators, rear boot seal and brake callipers. The front lower ball joints also tend to wear. We recommend preventative maintenance of these components rather than waiting for failure, particularly for cars used regularly. The cam cover gasket and coil packs are also known weak spots, especially in high-mileage Mk2.5 models.

The Mk 2.5 front wings are 1120mm x 680mm, while the rear quarter panels measure 890mm x 740mm. These measurements are crucial when sourcing panels, as there are subtle differences between early and late Mk2 variants.

While the 2020 ND model is technically superior with 181bhp versus the Mk2's 140bhp, many enthusiasts prefer the Mk2's mechanical simplicity and more compact dimensions (3995mm length vs 4050mm). The Mk2 weighs just 1065kg compared to the ND's 1090kg.
