Used side skirts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The MX-5 has run through four generations: NA (Mk1, 1989–1998), NB (Mk2, 1998–2005), NC (Mk3, 2005–2015), and ND (Mk4, 2015–present), and side skirts are body-specific to each generation as the bodywork is completely different between them. Always match the generation first before worrying about anything else. Confirm the exact generation with the breaker using your registration to be sure.
Both a 2008 and a 2013 MX-5 fall within the NC (Mk3) generation, which ran from 2005 to 2015, so they share the same basic body platform. However, the NC received a facelift around 2009, which brought changes to body panels including the sills and surrounding trim areas, so whether a pre-facelift and post-facelift skirt interchange is not straightforward. Confirm with the breaker using both registrations before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of a side skirt on the MX-5, as the underlying bodywork is the same across variants within a generation. That said, higher-spec or Sport trims may have had optional or standard body styling kits that give the skirts a different appearance, so the part from a basic trim car may look visually different even if the mounting points match. Check the cosmetic appearance with the breaker to make sure you are getting the style you expect.
No — the NA (Mk1, 1989–1998) and NB (Mk2, 1998–2005) are entirely different body generations with different bodywork, so the side skirts are not interchangeable. You need to source a skirt specifically from the same generation as your car. A breaker will be able to confirm the correct part against your registration.
The ND generation (2015–present) was offered as both the Roadster (soft top) and the RF (retractable fastback), and while the two share the same platform, the body panels above the sill line differ between them. Side skirts sit low on the bodywork and are likely to be the same between Roadster and RF, but you should confirm this with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume.
No — engine choice has no bearing on side skirt fitment on the MX-5, as the bodywork is identical regardless of whether the car has a 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, or any other engine. Focus on matching the generation and, within the NC generation especially, the facelift period, rather than the engine. A breaker can confirm the correct part using your registration.
