Very nice Combover, you will have to watch out in that car. Once you get over 30 MPH your hair is going to blow over your face revealing the combover and blinding you to the on coming traffic.

HTH

I'm not worried...not even an Elise could shift my Bobby Charlton, so i'm think i'm safe in the Mazda.

At risk of invoking the wrath of the repost police, heres one I poached from another thread (not my car but an MX5 so figured it can go here)

Here is my new acquisition, a '96 Merlot (Registered in 06/97)

Is it a touch shy?

It was snowing outside, so she didn't want to leave her warm garage!

[Combover]

You're new to this clearly. Despite what one would think, the best weather for an MX-5 is snow and ice...strange but true....

Just not if you actually want to get anywhere

Took ours out for a blast yesterday and got caught in a blizzard.The snow was settling pretty quickly and the bd thing wouldn't stay on the road
All good fun though

The roof never went up either, despite the screams from the passenger seat

Just drive faster, you get less wet and the wind noise soon sorts the bionic speed limiter out!

You simply cannot go wrong for £900. You just cant. Even if you blow the engine tomorrow. You could replace it out of a scrappy add fitting and the total car would still be under say £1700.

If you want a faded red hardtop to go with that faded red bonnet....

[biggbn]

cant understand that one..im looking at the car now and the bonnet aint faded.....must be the way the camera reacts with the sun and the differecne between the plastic bumper and metal bonnet...

..or im in denial..haha...sod it, dont make it any less fun...

A few hours work with some good paint cleaner/polish/wax to seal and that bonnet will match the the rest of the car whatever the photo. Megs 3 Stage is cheap and cheerful.

Cracking bargain, you could sell that tomorrow and more than double your money without breaking a sweat I would have thought.

looks better here...

Mine a little earlier

[pmanson]

NCOT - very good!

O/T - Did you ever sort out your wheels?

[NiceCupOfTea]

No, they're still scabby Maybe I'll refurb them this summer but to be honest it'll make the rest of the car look tatty!

Only problem is they'll lose the "Mazdaspeed" logos...

I'm going to be doing ours at the end of the month (over the long BH weekend). Our's are a bit easier than yours though as i'm just going to be painting them plain black (matt or gloss though?) mmmm

[NiceCupOfTea]

Nice I will keep mine original I think, polished lip with black centres - they do look nice when clean from a distance.

Noticed quite a few new scrapes on the bodywork last time it was washed, I think people have been being careless next to it
