At what price though?

 

[Goodj]

Good colour you've got there, nice to see a decent spec '5 turn up

 

[SBV116]

I am impressed tbh, no doubt it's mint!!!

Still gay though?

I thought I'd commented but clearly not, I bloody love it mate, properly awesome. I've loved reading your updates before I've even seen it so it's good to see the fruits of your labour.

Re: the lip, repair it yourself. If you fail, you lose nothing. What's it made out of?

 

[aucky]

Lol, cheers.

I'm quietly gutted about the front lip though, it really transformed the look of the front end ;(

 

[Goodj]

As rob said, have a go at fixing it then, there's no loss if you fail.

They are pretty much 100% cosmetic though, unless yours is a super-special with flat-bottom under trays that is.

 

[Joe#]

As above, give it a go. It makes the front end look quite aggressive I think. Much nicer than the GV one which everyone seems to have.

I thought I saw you on Monday. Exact same colour as yours, but it was clean though lol. Some sort of aftermarket wheels on too.

 

[SBV116]

Still gay though?

Ish, lol!

 

[Jay.S]

Zip ties will fix that lip.

Proper job!

Where? It was out and about on Monday, and clean.

I probably could bodge a fix but it wouldn't be very strong!

 

[Joe#]

Going past the park and ride by Ash's place. I don't think it was you though.

What about that lloyds automobiles (sp) in Manchester?

 

[aucky]

Yeah I showed it Roy @ Lloyds, said its do-able obviously. But the man hours it would take would make it silly cost really.

Yeah, we know the lads who run it actually.

 

[aucky]

Yeah I'm going to show Ryan at the Big Chester Meet.

 

[SBV116]

Lol, I know Ryan pretty well!, ain't seen him in a while though!

 

[aucky]

I'm actually quite liking the style front bumper at the moment.

I'm actually quite liking the style front bumper at the moment.

That bumper could be nice but could equally look utter gash.....like in that photo, but the flat red paint and mid-90's wheels probably don't help.

You'd need some serious under-the-bonnet work to justify it anyway

 

[aucky]

Aye. Needs intercooler to stop f&f look.

 

[aucky]

Bought, soon to be fitted

 

[aucky]

A few more from the muddy drift day

I really need to pull my finger (and my wallet) out to get this sorted for summer now!

 

[Djw Dave]

Looks great, lovely colour.

 

[Kieran..]

Looks awesome fun!

 

[jesus]

I like this!

 

[aucky]

Why thank you

 

[NoahRobinson07]

One of very few MX-5's I like. A really nice colour as well!

 

[Reev]

Dem wheelz. Like the low-pro headlights too, was thinking it would spot on with a hard top as I started reading through the thread but you've already got that covered, ha.

 

[JoeyD]

Want another. Again. F**ks sake! I like that you're doing it right... Still need to see it in person though.

I see your MR2 is for sale Coming back to the fold?

 

[JoeyD]

Yes. Yes I am.

 

[aucky]

This pleases me.

 

[JoeyD]

Found a couple that I'd happily go and buy tomorrow. Just need MR Poo to sell. Then I can add all of my parts I've got left over from RACK (pretty much got the whole car left on my drive )

 

[aucky]

Buy mine to stop me sinking more money into it :|

 

[JoeyD]
