Here's mine!

That looks really nice - is the rear wing for style or genuine downforce?

It looks grey in the photos, so is it a non-standard colour?

[Johnny-Five]

Cheers!

The wing is adjustable but I'm not sure if it's actually doing anything to be honest. Going to do a few tests with it when I get her on the track. She can reach a pretty high top speed (for a 5 anyway! ) of 153mph and is very quick through the gears. It's also running 205's on the rear so is quite sticky and planted without the need of a spoiler.

As for the colour it's Ford Magnum Grey. Car had a bare shell respray in it.

Mine is the Silver car.

Mine...

BEGi S, KYB/Eibachs, GYF1s, etc...







Looking to offload a wind deflector and a chrome boot rack to anyone in the SW London area, and if anyone has advice on a good matched intercooler for the BEGi S and an air-conned import, be nice to hear from you.

[Combover]

That's NICE!

By any chance, did you used to drive through Raynes Park every day?

[e11nos]

In one. Yep.

[Wilburo]

Cool, I used to see you regularly in the morning, when queuing at the crossroads by the A3, as you went down towards the station.

I'll keep an eye out and give you a thumbs up.

e11nos... love your 5 mate. Looks really nice! What make is that rear spoiler?

I believe that is Mazda spoiler, supplied as standard equipment on some models of Roadster? A nice piece of kit - stylish whilst not being 'in your face'. I managed to purchase one off a Nutzer who is modding his car as a trackday car: all prepped-up for spraying, when I get around to equipping my garage as a spray-booth

Hmmm... really like that. Looking for something like that to replace mine. Let me know if you want to sell it seeing as it's sat in your garage. Waiting to sprayed. Taking up ALL that room.

[e11nos]

Yep - just a standard Mazda part. Came from eBay with a boot lid attached for £40 so didn't even have to respray it. Standard Mazda front lip too, so other than being lowered and the alloys and roll cage, it's pretty much standard in appearance.

Thanks for thumbs up from everyone :-)

With the number plate moved, the lower bumper looks a lot like the Mazdaspeed item, like it - shame about the black holes.

This is my Maz - bought for a giggle to go to LM 09......subsequently fallen in love and will be keeping and fettling for many years to come!

[e11nos]

French racing blue (aka mariner blue) - best colour ;-)

[BonzoGuinness]

A couple o' dodgy cameraphone shots of my recently acquired MX. Nothing done to it... save for some choice stickers .

Better photos once I've started properly fettling with the car

[DennisTheMenace]

Love the colour
