Paris: In honor of the MX-5′s 20th French birthday, Mazda rolled out the MX-5 Black & Matte Edition at the Salon du Cabriolet, Coupé & SUV, an event that I have never heard of before in my entire life.

From the French press release, it sounds like Mazda teamed up with a local designer to throw itself a party; fine by me, but the invitations must have been lost in the mail, because I ain’t there.

Starting with a 2.0 liter Roadster Coupe, Paris design house LK (run by Laure Kczekotowska) seems to have taken the black, matte Miata and covered it “with rhinestones, gems, [and] crystals”. I don’t see no rhinestones.

And of course, seeing this special all decked out like this does give me the cheapskate idea of just getting a good used one, or perhaps a used one in need of some body work, and just spraying it in flat black.
