Mazda's Kodo design language gives you one of the cleanest factory silhouettes on the road. The problem: so does every other Mazda 3 in the Woolies car park.
If you want your build to stand out without looking like it was assembled from a random eBay haul, the kit you choose matters. The material matters. Fitment matters more than anything.
We've spent years out of our Riverwood warehouse fitting kits to Mazdas across the lineup: MX-5 NAs, Mazda 3 MPS BKs, CX-5s, the lot. We've seen what holds up. We've seen what cracks on the first speed bump. So when people ask us which Mazda body kit is the best, we don't give a generic answer. We give model-specific recommendations based on what you're actually driving and how you drive it.
Body Kit Materials: What Actually Holds Up on Australian Roads
ABS Plastic: the Gold Standard for Daily Drivers
If your Mazda sees daily use, ABS is the material you want. It's the same stuff OEM manufacturers use for factory bumper components: strong, flexible and impact-resistant. It won't shatter on a speed bump or crack on a steep driveway.
Our Maxton Design range is manufactured from ABS in Poland with TUV Materialgutachten certification: a German-standard benchmark for material quality and durability. Every Maxton component is 3D-scanned from the original vehicle to ensure precision fitment straight out of the box. Learn more about choosing the right body kit material.
Polyurethane: Built to Flex
Polyurethane (PU) offers even more flex than ABS. It absorbs impacts, returns to shape and handles the Australian climate without cracking. We stock PU front lips and full body kits for multiple Mazda models.
The trade-off: PU is heavier and needs adhesion promoters before painting. It ships unpainted in a matte black raw finish, which means you can run it as-is or have it colour-matched.
Aero Function vs Aesthetics
A splitter is not just eye candy. A properly designed front splitter creates a high-pressure zone above and low-pressure zone beneath, improving front-end grip at speed. A rear diffuser manages underbody airflow to reduce drag. These components deliver real aerodynamic benefit when they're designed to fit your specific bumper geometry.
The keyword here: model-specific design. Not "universal fit."
Best Mazda Body Kit Recommendations by Model
Mazda 3 MPS Body Kits (BK and BL)
The Mazda 3 MPS is where we see the most demand. It's already an aggressive platform. The right kit takes it from sporty hatchback to genuine head-turner.
Mazda 3 MPS BK (2006-2008): We stock Maxton Design ABS components including the front splitter in gloss black finish, rear side splitters, central rear splitter, side skirts and spoiler cap. All TUV-certified. All 3D-scanned from the BK chassis. On the polyurethane side, we carry CS-style and STI-style front lips that bolt onto the factory bumper.
Pro tip: pair the Maxton front splitter with factory side skirts for a clean OEM+ aesthetic. The result looks like it could have rolled straight off the Hiroshima production line.
Mazda 3 MPS BL (2009-2012): For the BL, Maxton Design's V1 and V2 front splitters give you two levels of aggression. The V1 is subtle and clean. The V2 extends further for a more track-ready presence. We also stock the BL central rear splitter, rear side splitters and spoiler cap in ABS. On the PU side: CS-style and Sport-style front lips.
Not running an MPS? We also carry a JDM-style front bumper lip for the standard Mazda 3 BL (2009-2011) and a front bumper lip for the 2014-2016 Mazda 3.

MX-5 Miata Body Kits: NA, NB, NC and ND
The MX-5 is the most modded Mazda on the planet. We stock kits for four generations.
MX-5 NA (1990-1997): This is where we go deep. Our OEM RS-style full body kit in polyurethane is the standout: front lip, side skirts and rear lip that capture the factory aesthetic with a subtle performance edge. We also carry standalone GV-style and OEM RS-style front lips in PU, plus ducktail spoilers for the classic silhouette.
Every piece is manufactured from flexible polyurethane, supplied unpainted in matte black. Run it raw or get it colour-matched: your call.
MX-5 NB (1999-2005): The NB gets GV-style and RS-style front lips in polyurethane to sharpen up those softer second-gen lines. NB1 (1999-2000) and NB2 (2001-2005) each get their own model-specific lip design: no guesswork, no trimming. We also stock side skirts that fit both NA and NB generations (1990-2005).
MX-5 NC (2005-2015): For the NC, we lean into that wider, more planted chassis. Our NC2 GV-style and OE-style polyurethane front lips (2009-2012) sharpen the front end and lower the visual stance without cutting into your ground clearance.
MX-5 ND (2016-2020): Our MP-style polyurethane front lip is purpose-built to flow with the ND's factory bumper. It lowers the visual stance, adds road presence and gives you that aggressive-but-subtle OEM+ look that MX-5 owners constantly ask for.
Shop all MX-5 generations: NA | NB | NC | ND
Mazda 6 MPS Body Kit (2005-2007)
The Mazda 6 MPS doesn't get enough love in the modding scene. It deserves it. Our polyurethane CS-style front lip adds serious presence to the front end without sacrificing the sedan's mature lines. If you're building a clean touring aesthetic, the 6 MPS is a strong canvas.
Mazda CX-5: Road Presence Without Losing Clearance
SUV body kits are a growing market and the CX-5 is leading the charge. Our range includes front and rear bumpers, rear roof spoilers and garnish accents designed for the CX-5's proportions. You get a factory-plus look that still handles driveways and parking structures.
Mazda CX-9 (2016+)
The CX-9 is Mazda's flagship family hauler but it doesn't have to look like a standard commuter. We stock window visors and weather shields that add a practical, sleek touch to the exterior while keeping rain out when you crack the windows.
Mazda CX-7 (2006-2012)
For the CX-7, our window visors and weather shields with chrome trim offer a sleeker, more streamlined profile with everyday functionality. Designed to fit the CX-7's distinct lines with no modification required.
How to Avoid the Fitment Nightmare
Fitment is the single biggest frustration we hear about. Every Reddit thread, every YouTube comment section: the same complaints.
"The bumper doesn't line up."
"I had to sand, trim and heat-gun a part that was supposed to be bolt-on."
"The gaps are terrible."
Here's how you avoid that.
1. Buy model-specific. Not "universal fit."
Universal means it fits nothing properly. Every kit we sell is engineered for a specific make, model and year range.
2. Check the material.
If a full kit is under $400, ask yourself why. Thin fibreglass and cheap plastic are the most common reasons for poor fitment and early failure. You can buy a cheap fibreglass lip twice, or you can buy a quality ABS or polyurethane kit once. We know which one looks better at 100km/h on the M5.
Read our guide on mistakes to avoid when buying a body kit.
3, Look for included hardware.
Quality kits come with mounting screws, 3M tape and installation notes. If the listing doesn't mention hardware, that's a red flag.
4. Make sure your mods are road-legal.
Height clearances and protrusion rules apply in every state. Here's what car mods are legal in Australia as of 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a Mazda body kit myself?
Many of our lip kits and spoilers are designed for bolt-on DIY installation with basic tools. Polyurethane lips require drilling holes for mounting screws and we recommend using 3M double-sided tape for a firmer hold. A heat gun helps mould the PU to your bumper for a glove-like fitment. For full bumper replacements or multi-piece components, we recommend professional installation for clean panel gaps. Here's what to expect when installing your first body kit.
Does a body kit affect my car's fuel efficiency?
Well-designed aerodynamic components like splitters and diffusers can actually improve airflow. The weight of ABS and polyurethane parts is negligible. Poorly designed "universal" kits can increase drag and create turbulence. That's why model-specific design matters.
Will a body kit void my Mazda warranty?
Cosmetic modifications generally don't void your entire vehicle warranty, but Mazda's factory warranty won't cover aftermarket parts themselves. Always check with your dealer or insurer if you're concerned about coverage on a specific component.
What is the best material for a daily-driven Mazda body kit?
ABS plastic or polyurethane. Both offer the flexibility and impact resistance you need for everyday driving. They won't shatter on a speed bump or crack on a steep driveway. Fibreglass is cheaper but it's rigid and breaks on impact. Read why proper fitting matters regardless of what material you choose.
What is the best body kit brand for Mazda in Australia?
For Australian buyers, Maxton Design is the benchmark. All components are 3D-scanned from original vehicles, manufactured from ABS plastic in Poland and TUV-certified.
