Great thread... so what's next?

Thought that steering wheel would be crazy but it goes really well with all you've done so far.

Last sunday i joined the local MX5OC for a drive out to Southwold to meet another region,88 MX5s took over the harbour which was a great sight to see smile





I've been after a pair of Zoom Side Repeaters for awhile,i remembered my friend Dan had some so a cheeky message over Facebook got me a pair for free! The plastic washers were missing,but upon looking at them they didnt look too bad with them missing! So they were promtly fitted and wired up







Since owning the car and buying the front bumper,i was always under the impression it was a Racing Beat Type 2. It wasnt until i was browsing through a bumper topic on Club Roadster then i noticed its actually a Forte bumper

Chris,

We need to catch up soon. I've got loads of mx5 related questions for you. I'm going in completely other direction, less trim, less weight. I'm going to be ripping out the aircon tomorrow smile

Are there any decent mx5 meets in Norwich ever?

So last year I got ripped off by James Sommerin for a product which was his take on the Garage Vary rear light panel. After paying him and him doing a runner with my money,him not answering any messages/calls I got to the point where I knew I was fighting a losing battle and knew I wasn't going to see the panel or money.


Around new year time I happen to spot a group buy from Rev9 for their famous Garage Vary light panels. So straight away I put my name down and paid the deposit and paid the full amount a few weeks later. The group buy didn't end till the end of March. The panel got shipped from Japan at the beginning of April and it landed on my door step today! (After paying a hefty Import Tax charge!)

















The car is booked into the body shop for the beginning of May biggrin
