They've come out great.
When you get the car back, switch the indicators with the sidelights - USDM style y0

yup black again, thought it would be best to keep the colour oem as it makes life in the furture a whole load easier
Clio 172
Looks well. Like the look of those wheels should contrast really well.
As said on FB - looks amazing! Very fresh. Definitely not disappointed after seeing those pictures, despite it being the same colour.
I've considered a colour change... but not sure if I can be bothered with the hassle tbh!

Yeah, that'd be the easy option. But part of me still loves a white MX5, and the other part has taken a liking to Montego blue, which can look Very nice. Will give it a think before I tear it all apart.

looks can sure be deceiving as this doesnt drive like a dogs dick at all, i would agree with you if i was still running my ta technix but as im running hsd coilovers with monotube dampers, fully adjustable ride height by adjusting the mounting bracket on the damper this means a very wide range of height adjustment is possible without affecting the spring pre-load or the damper stroke length. So whether you want sporty or totally slammed, you still get the full performance of the damper and to top it off 16 Stage damping adjustment
so long as you spend money on your suspension going low wont affect it just got to take more care around town

As I've said before, So fresh. So very fresh. Only thing is... where do you go from here? Is there anything you'd like to do to it? Or just going to call it finished and enjoy it?

All that's left surely is to go engine mods. Forced induction or ITB's. Personally I'd say ITB's.
<3 ITB's. I want ITB's. Everyone should run ITB's, the world would be a better place.

Saxo tried baiting me at some lights today. Not a chavy guy, car looked standardish, lowered, very clean.
I didn't rise as I had someone in the car, then he went and god the induction noise was great.
