Girlfriend's getting a MX5
Discussion
She used to own a Mk1 years ago and has just had her Peugeot 307 written off after a woman pulled across infront of her at a set of lights, claiming she didn't see her!
She is picking it up during the week, it's a 2002 1.6 Arizona. Now I know bugger all about MX5s so will be lurking on here quite a bit for the next few months, will use the search facility as best as I can but expect a few stupid questions.
Obviously the first thing being fitted is a PH smiley but she has mentioned she had a wooden wheel on her old Eunos, I'm thinking this won't be quite so easy on her new airbag equipped car.

Methinks she'll notice
Finally got to see the car over the weekend, nice little car, has a few little niggles to iron out, mainly aesthetic though I couple of things I need to pick your brains on....
1) Slight vibration when pulling away, similar to what I've experienced in RWD Fords so wondered if gearbox mounts are a common fault?
2) Very warm transmission tunnel after driving a while, the boot around the gearstick and area around the handbrake particularly noticeable.

Thanks guys, I knew you would be able to point me in the right direction. Time to buy myself a new tool box, haven't had a car to tinker with for quite a few years 
Don't want to 'bling' the car but lower grill, yeah or nay? That big open 'mouth' is screaming for something stone or wildlife to fly in there.
