2nd day of MX5 ownership!

[Tommy Winchester]

My first 'proper' car.

Its a 1996 1.8l Mk1, came with:

- Hard top
- Spare original wheels with brand new tyres (still have the mouldings on them!)
- Personal plate

A couple of poor photos are below, not had any sunshine yet

Liking it. Looks good with hard top, less girly (joke joke)

Awesome car - MK1's are never girly, just cool. Looks good with the hardtop but IMO the wheels don't look great.

I think they are Mk2/3 ones - have a Mazda logo in the centre. The other wheels will need some work - showing their age.

Very nice

MK2 probably. They might look better a different colour, matt black perhaps.

I was consindering putting the other wheels (with the new tyres which are on them) on the car for winter. As they look a tad shabby I was thinking of painting them and keeping the Mk2 ones as they are.

Shabby:




The tail pipe is missing so I'll get it booked in for a new (standard) backbox and tail pipe at some point.

I've not seen those^ before, but I like them. Refurb those!

I wouldn't bother with the standard back box, go for a SS MX5parts one for the same cost and get a nice rasp

Looks awesome, make sure you say hello in the MX5 section too!

Girls' cars.

I really, really want one, but shhh!

The best of the MX5/Eunos's.

It was the sadest day in the world when pop up headlights were outlawed.

I think they are 323F GT wheels, Which are a pretty rare item (might be worth something).

Hmmm, I'll need to check whether they will fit the '5, they look a tad large.

If not, ebay it is!
