hi everyone
thinking of fitting a style bar to my mx5. my 5 comes with the factory windblocker fitted and i can find only 2 bars that can be fitted with this wind blocker in place, ie one from mx5 parts and one from griffen engineering. has anyone out there got or fitted the one from griffen, i prefer the shape of it and its also a good £50 cheaper. appreciate any comments. thanks.

Regardless of where they come from/who makes em' - they are all easy enough to fit, bit of work/fettling, but you'll be grand!

Remember, they offer no protection if you roll or get rear ended by a higher vehicle. I fitted a Mazdaspeed halfcage recently and it stiffened up the car hugely. Handling better too. Got on E BAY over and all for 130 lids.

thanks for your advice, sense to what you say but hope it never happens. will go with style bar for now. griffen looks good and seems easiest to fit.
