Auction: 2014 Mazda Mx5 2.0i 25th Anniversary Edition
Discussion
Hi, I see that the advert mentions some paint runs in the front and in the wing. Can you provide detailed photos of these? What was the reason for the paint, was the car involved in an accident?
Are there any signs of rust or bubbles in the paint anywhere, particularly in the normal problem areas of the inner wheel arches and sills? If so, can you provide close up photos.
Thanks in advance
Michael

Would it be possible to come and have a look at this car, as I am not too far away?

Hi, the car was bought from a dealership and had the stone chips amended prior to his purchase. No trace or record of the car being in an accident. Are there any signs of rust or bubbles in the paint anywhere, particularly in the normal problem areas of the inner wheel arches and sills? If so, can you provide close up photos.
Thanks in advance

In regards to roadzters comment, they don’t look like stone chip drips.
From the photo it looks like poor respray - reason for repaint unknown for now but I think the current owner wasn’t aware of it and doesn’t know the reason (it was painted before his ownership). If you look carefully you can also see some overspray on the front near side arch liner edge. It’s a ten year old car so not unheard of for paint to have been done, but difficult to comment on the quality or colour match without seeing the actual car. I think the advert also mentions paint runs on the wing, but I couldn’t see that on the photos.
Car does look good though, for me it’s a shame it’s 4hrs away from me so I can’t get to view it.

Why is there a 25th anniversary badge on the drivers side and not the near side. Could this be the reason for the front wing needing paint and the badge got lost in the accident or atb the repair shop?
Nope I'm pretty sure they're all like this – I have a 25th Anniversary Edition as well and I only have the badge on the drivers side.I agree with Ben on the wing badges. All the YouTube videos I’ve watched on the 25th Anniversary show only a badge on the right hand wing. The advert does make it a little confusing though as the wording states (incorrectly) that there are numbered badges on the front WINGS, making it sound like they’re on both sides
