Wow. That looks really brilliant, all the hard work has definitely paid off!

No thread on the mk1? I love how you both got one together! Nothing like learning about cars with someone else in the same boat.

We can go for a run in both to compare. The mx5's have a certain enthusiasts cool about them, so I don't know if you'll be swayed by the BM, apart from maybe the noise...

That'll make for some decent pictures, be good to meet you too.

Cost you a small fortune? Glad to see it's not another car just being broke for parts. Doesn't need a new front bumper surely? There's so many ph1's being taken apart on here surely you can source parts. New wing, old bumper, have wing painted and blown into bumper. Sorted.

Fair play, I think you'll end up going silver again TBH. ;) I'm down there every Tuesday for the next few months mate, so whenever is good.

Driving down on the morning and camping the night of the show.

Superb. If it doesn't rain, a Sunday morning blast will be AWESOME.

Fair play mate, as nice as it seems, I'm not I could live with a welded diff. I'd love a passenger ride at some point though? I'm down your way on tuesday for college if you fancy a mini meet in the evening? I've never been out in one of these old mx5's so I wouldn't mind seeing what all the...

Being a South Londener, anything above the m25 is northern!

Result on finding another, PM me a link? So you're admitting that's it's dinner, and you're just calling it tea? ;) On a serious note, and I'm really not over exaggerating, I've honestly never seen a car with CSL reps on. Proper flipping epic! I'd love to see what it looked like...

I f**king loved that car, seriously, like a child. You couldn't have sold me a better motor, and TBH if I hadn't ever met you, camping as CSS wouldn't be half as fun! All in all, a worth while purchase.

I've been waiting for this thread since I saw a post where you said you'd got one. 2 seats is the way forward, welded diff though, how's that working out for you???? You going to pop down to the grasshopper meet so I can take a look/finally meet you???

Are you going to bung some decent wheels on it? Very nice (first iirc?) car.

This looks really nice, needs to be a touch lower, but the colour combination is great.

These look brilliant. Great work. You could make a pretty penny selling these on.

Does it need to be 3d? I can knock it up in sketchup in accurate sizes in 10 minutes for you? I can probably do it in CAD too.

Can I meet y'all before you join that road so we can go for a blast? Where you come off the m25 on the other side of the bridge?

You bend it, you buy it. Cheers mate, best car I've ever owned TBH. I really really love it. The 172 was my first ever "fast" car, and it had a special place in my mind which I didn't think I'd find again, this just blew it out of the water TBH. Sunday yes, :o See you then, no doubt...

You coming Saturday Luke? We'll go for a little spin, you can drive (as long as it's not raining) ;)

I've made the educated decision today that I'll be replacing them with fully refurbed mint ones, an option that'll cost me £340 :( I have a £180 option, but this doesn't involve splitting them, and will powder coat over the bolt holes. Funnily enough the guy on the forum that does them has...

I'm not sure exactly what that means, but cool. :D

Knowsit Tom. Wick came out in it yesterday and was sold. Just buy one, you know it makes sense. No kids (that you know of) means two seats is just purrfect.

The current trim is quite "satin like" though, being brushed. I'm going to get it done in carbon no matter what, as I've already got the trim and if I don't like it I'll pass it on to someone on the zed forum :) I think that photo on ebay makes it look more shiny than it really is TBH.

Since I purchased this car you've definitely been nicer to me Alan. That'd be awesome though, like really. Edit: One more thanks mate

I like the look of that carbon. Can't wait to get mine back, still got to post it mind :o I <3 BMW, phoned parts, asked for the gearknob, £52, have it by sat morning. BONZA. Alan - £2.50? Have you misplaced a decimal? I'd certainly give it a go! Baller spec. Oh, another opinion (Tom, Ant)...

Tom, mines looks more like the bottom one, it's just brushed metal. If the piece around the gearknob etc was in perfect nick I'd keep mine no contest, I'm just a fussy fucker. That woodwork though, very... not me? ha Called the place in essex for the gear knob, none in stock and it'll...

On the bright side I've found a place in essex that does the ZHP knob, but not the illuminated one. I may fit that Saturday.

Only light up ZHP I can find for sale is ebay and german though... hmmmm

FFS I was just about to order a normal one. I can't believe I'm this torn about a f**king gear knob.
