Very nice! If you don't mind me asking, what was the wallet-damage?

I'm still looking for a replacement to my written-off Gleneagles - nothing spectacular for £1.5k-2k within 200 miles of Glasgow frown

Why are you bothering to fit a front plate? My mini hasn't had one for 2 years and I've never been fined for it.

Looks like you've been busy with the polish/wax too smile

Tell me about it, I just bought this RS Limited and now there isn't a day that goes by without me going on Nutz and adding more items to my puchase list.



God I love MX5's

ETA: Your '5 looks perfect, I keep on telling myself I dont need a GV lip but I think i'm going to give in.

I dont think a GV lip would look right on an RS Limited. Not the right style of MX-5 IMHO.

I got the OEM lip for my RS, looks great, like it was made for the car...

yes on the pop up light alignment - sort it out! Makes the front end look so much neater.

If you pop the lights up on the button you'll see that the lids are attached at the 4 corners on a sliding bracket - loosen the bolts, adjust, trial and error, till you get them lined up nice and straight with the bonnet line at the back.

Don't worry about that malarkey biggrin, just give them a tug from the top and reshape them. The reason you get gaps is that people lean on the lights when the bonnet is open, and the lights covers are only thin metal, so bend. A quick pull to bend them back and you are sorted.
