Wheels look good. I've been waiting to see some real pictures of repainted iS wheels (instead of my Photoshop versions) so thanks for that, you've made my mind up for me smile

glad i could help. put them on in the standard alloy colour and they looked really bland against the gold so opted for a metallic/gunmetal colour. Ended up going for "rover gunmetallic grey", and i think it works well, though new wheels look better, Rota cicuit 8's.

will try to get some new pics up soon.

I didn't say which way you'd made my mind up though... winkbiggrin

For me I think they're a bit too dark, so when I get round to it I'll be going quite a bit lighter. Or I could just leave them as brake dust coloured as that seems to be about right.

Here's my recently acquired steed! Also posted in 'Readers Cars'. Plan is to get a few jobs sorted and do some trackdays next year!

Hope you like!

I do like that!

Looks a bit like mine (apart from the rollcage, and the exhaust ... and the shine).

Cheers! Not quite as good as an RS though! :-) Some more pics here:

Picked up my Roadster on Friday, the grin still hasn't worn off my face!

Took it to a Cars and Coffee in Cork, and met another VSpec!

Well I've previously posted in here, when I had a Mk2.5 for 6 months from Dec 08 to May of this year. Sold it to enjoy a brief fling with a Clio 182, but now back in an MX-5 - I knew it wouldn't take long.

Picked this up yesterday, absolutely loving it so far! biggrin
It's a '56 2.0 Sport with Bose stereo & Climate control. I've got some plans, including lowering and maybe an exhaust. It's had the geometry done previously by Tony at WiM but hoping to get him to lower and re-do it in the future, when I have some money again!

A few pics of my mates mx5 on our random trip to find fine weather away from west yorkshre. Went to Cleethorpes... left cleethorpes, went to to humber bridge, through hull, to withensea, finally spurn point, with sun! cool

Warning about spurn point, £3 to drive there, 3 miles to walk otherwise. and back again... and dont take lowered mx5's down there, as we almost scraped the underneath with the normal suspension. yikes
