New MX5 owner in Southampton

[RichieMX5]

So its early times with my first mx-5 so I thought why not start a build thread


I found the car on Auto Trader at a trader just down the road, "garaged since 2007, very red, mint condition" I had to look!



Once getting there I was amazed how red it actually was, after a good check over and test drive I handed the money over and took her for a drive. I couldnt get enoughof driving with the rood down! First things first she was treated a bath and a full service



Next was a bit of personalisation, spayed the wheels matt black until i can afford some new ones



And popped in some old bucket seats



After a good search on ebay I ordered a few more goodies..

stick on front plate



induction kit



After fitting everything I went for a drive with the camera, so heres a few pics of her current stage













Thanks for reading, il keep any new mods up to date on here

Where the hell did you get that vinyl?!

Whereabouts in Southampton are you? I'm based over in Park Gate, I'll keep an eye out when I'm over that direction.
Nice looking car, definitely better with the matte black wheels.

Few more updates, sprayed the plastics on the buckets









Then had a play around with the lights.. I swapped the position of my side lights and indicators. The indercators are now in the smaller part and iv replaced the side lights with a small strip of white LED's
