Thanks smile should point out I am not a fan of the white headlight covers, disgusting DRLs fitted in the front grille (coming straight out) and I don't fold my roof down with the window zipped up but these pics are from the dealers site!

It's pretty but I would ditch the white light covers. Are they white for a reason?

Welcome to the MX 5 fold wavey

Thanks, smile - I think someone has tried a bit too hard to do the whole blue and white thing! frown

Not sure how easy they will be to spray though as the car isn't its original shade of blue - it has had a full respray more recently so I would need to get them colour matched.

I would be surprised if the blue wasn't an off-the-shelf colour (even if it isn't a Mazda one).

Think that's a few PHer's on site.

How is the bloke from Jobsite that had the suspected cardiac arrest?

Recovering well as far as I know.

Spotted this parked in Langstone Tech Park yesterday! Looks really nice! Do paint those headlight covers though! ;0) OR...3M carbon wrap?? That'd look pretty cool.

I will proboably carbon wrap them - thats a great idea and saves me having to take it to a bodyshop.

Well I will only be there for another month, then I am studying instead so that will be 1 less!

There seems to be at least 4 or 5 Honda S2000s I regularly see, any of them on here?

Also a very nice old 911?

It looks great as well. It's pretty easy to apply and if you decide you don't like it, just peel it off! If the mood took you, you could always do the bonnet too!

The headlight covers are really easy to remove if I remember correctly!
