Why spoil a pretty little '5 by nailing a dodgy looking Aston Martin style front to it? Shame.

The photos in the rest of the advert look like they have been taken by my 4 year old girl.

I looked at the pictures before I looked at the title and I didn't once think oh that looks like an Aston Martin from the front. It just ruins the whole look of the car.

Why would someone graft Mx5 front lights onto an Aston Martin?

Words fail me!

Well, it was inevitable that some tasteless idiots would get MX5s at some point.

I doesn't look too bad and using a vinyl plate stuck flush to the bumper would improve it no end IMHO.

Last year I took my Quntum 2+2 Turbo to Goodwood breakfast club and there were hundreds of MX5's there one of which had been done up to look like an Elan, yuk there was a real Elan near it and the MX looked as though it had eaten all the pies!
Just for once I think the Japs got a car spot on, like the original 240Z you cannot improve a MK 1 its perfect.

The Elan is simply the best looking car ever, however I would want to be in one in a crash.

I look at my MX5 and think it is so balanced and especially good with a hard top.

Looks like it's got a hare lip! That said, the full AM kit for the MX5, while still monstrous, looks better than this.
