My Mazda MX5 S-Special Type II
Discussion
I think the badges look good! Plus aren't they pinned in?
I think the 'Roadster' text being in green (as opposed to the red like they mostly are) means that it has the later engine management / ECU. You should keep the badges on, now that you even have something boring and factual to say about them

That exhaust looks fantastic. I sometimes wonder about getting a custom made exhaust for my MR2. Mind you, the standard kit is loud enough. One of the nicest MX5's I've seen though, the carbon fibre trim looks quite smart and is better than the standard spec stuff! I always thought that storage bin on the transmission tunnel was a neat idea. It doesn't feel as solid as the MR2 storage bin (and upright item between the seats) but it is much easier to use when you're sitting in the car!

A Blitz Nur Spec or similar handmade equivilant is the best mod you can get for an MR2 imo!Been a productive week for the 5
Got my De-cat made, sounds alot better now with a nice popping on deceleration
Also fitted new disks and pads all round and painted my calipers blue
while i was doing the brakes thought I might as well underseal under the arches
Hoping to do the rest of the undersealing next week

Looks great pal! I got rid of mine a couple of years ago as it was proving impractical driving from Sunderland to Leeds twice a week in the snow! That and as a student the rust grew faster than the student loan could cope with!
Reading a thread like this makes me what to go and get another, but keep it for fun this time!
Good work!

Sounds lovely! Mind you, I always thought the standard exhaust on the MX5 sounded pretty good. It had a lovely burble to it!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8fy1OBe7fs

Havnt done much to the car recently mainly due to the weather but car had its MOT today and sailed through
only advisory was the exhaust is Loud LOL
Decided to De-tango the front indicators when I got back:

Havn't really done much to the car recently, been enjoying driving it too much
Pic of car from the Sussex Breakfast meet last month, was good to meet some fellow Nutzers
Decided to de-badge the rear panel today
Holes filled and all primered up ready for painting
Just waiting for paint to arrive, hopefully have it sprayed and fitted next week sometime, also have front number plate relocation bracket to fit at sometime

Finished painting the de-badged rear panel today and put it back on, a pic of how its turned out
quiet pleased with how it looks now at the rear.
Aslo finally fitted my front number plate bracket
Has left 9 small holes where it was mounted but hoping to have the bumper de-badged and resprayed next month.
Think I need a smaller number plate tho as it looks too big and will also put an OEM Lip on once ive had it resprayed
