Nope, I found them on ebay.co.uk The seller had "eunos" and "roadster" ones, he sold mostly mx-5/miata parts. :)

2 new parts for me :mrgreen:
1. eunos/euro front bumper support; courtesy of SuperK :2thumbsup:
2. B-pillar bar ; courtesy of JWMX3 :2thumbsup:
Image

stock support (top) vs. euro (bottom)
Image

What a difference having the right part (euro support) makes when fitting a eunos front bumper cover :shock: both fender-to-bumper gaps line up perfect, fog lights aligned perfect, tow hook fits perfect...it's almost like the two parts were made for each other; ie factory :laugh:

In case anyone was wondering
Stock / USDM bumper support: 11lbs 2.4oz
Euro / Eunos bumper support: 6lbs 11.2oz

Hey I just picked up an MX3... I'm from the Allentown area as well. What the heck is that rear window spoiler(?) thing? I've seen it on a few cars.
