Another mx5,nothing new here......

[jonsmart]

So after selling my mg I had some cash laying around and a friend was selling his uk 1.8 mx5. I'd never sat in a mx5 before but I was sold the moment I sat in it. Test drive went well, apart from my friend showing me the handling of the car, loosing control and chucking into a hedge and damaging the bumper. Anyway, this was when I got it



The wheels were awful and illegal so ordered a set of these



But I couldn't put nice wheels on before lowering it so that was next



And then the day they all came together



Next up was fog light delete, bumper cut and mx5 parts exhaust



And finally to fix the front bumper, fit lower spoiler and respray with plastidip!



It's been a busy and costly few months, but I'm completely sold on mx5 ownership!

Looking much better already though, those xxr wheels look great. Was it easy to relocate the fog light?

Looks tidy! Those wheels look so good.

Looking good.

Is this your exhaust? http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/stainless-steel-exhaust-...

I've got a mk1 and fancy making it a bit noisier.

Nice, are those the axe wheels? If so, I have the same on my eunos.

was really easy to relocate, just a case of splicing a wire from the foglight to one of the reverse lights, then change the bulb. hardest bit was to cut the bumper straight!

Great looking MX5, love the wheels.

I had the twin version of that exhaust on my MX5, it was great around town and in car parks but on a long motorway run, my god it was awful lol
