Fitment on a used front bumper varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The MX-5 has run through four generations: the NA (Mk1, 1989–1997), NB (Mk2, 1998–2005), NC (Mk3, 2005–2015), and ND (Mk4, 2015–present). Front bumpers are generation-specific and will not interchange between these platforms, so always match the bumper to your car's generation first. Confirm your generation by checking the registration with your breaker if you are unsure.
Both years fall within the NC (Mk3) generation, which ran from 2005 to 2015 and received a facelift in 2009 that restyled the front end including the bumper and lights. A 2009 and a 2013 car are both post-facelift NC models, so they share the same front-end design and a bumper from either year should be directly relevant — confirm the exact part against your registration with your breaker before buying.
The NC MX-5 facelift in 2009 brought a revised front bumper, grille, and headlight design, so the pre- and post-facelift bumpers are not the same shape. Whether a specific pre-facelift panel can be made to fit a post-facelift car, or vice versa, is not something we can confirm — check directly with your breaker against your registration to be certain.
On the NC and ND MX-5, trim level does not determine which front bumper shell fits, as the panel is shared across the range regardless of whether the car is an SE, Sport, or Sport Tech. You may find cosmetic differences such as fog light apertures, lower air intake inserts, or paint finish between trims, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match the right look as well as the right fit.
The ND MX-5 RF (retractable fastback, launched 2016) and the standard ND roadster share the same front-end platform and the front bumper design is the same across both body styles. This means bumpers from either variant are relevant to your search, which can be useful when sourcing from a breaker as it widens the pool of available parts — always confirm against your specific registration with the breaker to be sure.
The ND (Mk4) generation began in 2015, so a bumper listed for a 2015 car sits in the same generation as a 2017 car and is worth pursuing. The ND received a mild update around 2018–2019 that included front-end changes, so if your car is a 2017 model you are both pre-update and the 2015 bumper is relevant — confirm the exact fit against your registration with your breaker before purchasing.
