While my Tamora (below) looks ok, there are some cosmetic changes I would like to make.




I have always admired the styling of the the MX-5, so wondered if anybody was making car bras like this for the Tamora? yes



It would stop it getting paint chips on the front and just make the car look a lot better, hiding its plain styling and adding some interest.

Does anybody know where I can get one for the Tamora?

The other thing that would improve it would be reducing the huge ride height and arch gaps, it needs to be flush and running lots of camber to improve the handling. I can just avoid speed bumps.

I was aiming for something like this. It looks like it would work well on the roads here.



Advice welcome ears

I like the wing idea, but that one is a bit subtle and not carbon fibre.

How about:



Is it ok to use self-tapping wood screws into the fibreglass? I have some in the shed and that would be the quickest way to fit it, maybe with some 'no more nails' as well to keep it on.

If I am going for the carbon theme, then maybe a wrap? This sort of thing:



That would complete the car.

Definitely,
I am not that much into Tamoras and the idea of their owners in improving them.

Where did you get a picture of what I wear for winter driving with the roof down?

I always assumed people were pointing at the car, but maybe it does look a little odd.

I am hurt that people aren't taking my suggestions for tasteful upgrades seriously weeping

As a protest I will be leaving my Tamora as the designers intended and shelving these plans. For now.
