Remembering my ex-Mazda MX-5 (NC)
This was my wife car back in 2009 before we bought the Porsche Boxster S. We bought the car at JASMO Motorsport and got it for about BND$26000 if I can recall. The car was Black in color but we had it stripped off and went for original Mazda Galaxy Grey . We did spend a few accessories on the car and most of it was imported directly from UK. The car is a fun car to drive, in fact this car has one of the best handling capability I had ever driven before Boxster S.

Here are some accessories I bought from www.mx5parts.co.uk from UK. The site cater only for Mazda MX-5 from GEN I to Gen III.

After-market short Antenna
Chrome Roll Bar Cover
Chrome Rear View Mirror Cover
Clear Side Indicators
I had bought three cars myself(MX-5, Boxster S and Lexus, Skyline doesn't count as it was a gift from my parent) and this Mazda MX-5 is the first car I ever sold that was owned by me. Now that my Lexus is gone as well, we are thinking of getting a proper bigger family car. I will post more update on which new car we will buy...
