This is mine , a pic from a couple of days ago. Swopped red interior in over the last few weeks , she was a tan interior, now sold that on.
Hoping to pick up a good condition speedo cowl soon, mine was knackered. And I'm looking to carpet the tranny tunnel
like in the M2 1001 car, so need to modify the radio console as the centre console won't be going back in.

She's fairly standard so far, but Abw I'll be fitting 4/2/1 ,decat , mx5 parts back box, and some induction goodies to try and
tweak the performance. Also have in the cupboard .. Standard shocks and springs and full set of bushes , braided hoses , new pads & discs , and a few other bits
, so lots to do ! Track days on my wish list for 2014

Moving to a house with garage Abw in new year, so roll on 2014

Edit: Just noticed those wheels , these will be coming off and replaced with shiny alloys once refurbed !!

LOVE THE MK1, it's the best !!! biggrin

Which colour is that, gunmetal? Every grey i've seen from them looks like primer but that's got a bit of a vinyl wrap look to it, looks good!

Hi thanks its basically black and mixed with silver tinter's and you make the colour how you like by mixing it up, and the roof done in black to give a bit of contrast

Hi the time taken was about 8 hours to do including preparing it like cleaning and masking it, we used 12L of plasti dip from www.matt-pack.co.uk/ altogether cost less than £200 but you will need a spay gun http://www.matt-pack.co.uk/5-litre-starter-kit-c2x... easy to do best with help from a mate and buy him a crate of stella
