well as we all know my 5 got hit by angry car the other week, but today i am proud to say it is all in working order again and looks perfect..(well... almost :lol:

)

james at the mx5 center did the headlights and bent the original top red plates back into place so they now function and look pretty good after a bit of touch up paint went on. he also let me swap my wood trim including nardi wood steering wheel, gear surround, 2 vent rings, door strips and a radio/ac surround for a new nardi leather wheel (same as the wood one but with leather and silver spokes) and some badges i was missing.

this morning i took it to dick at mx5factory and he fitted the replacement fender which just happened to be red

.

and i also thank ben (meanmx) for the very kind donation of the side mirror.

all up.... headlights - $200 fender+fitting+polish_touchuppaint - $290

Happy as!!! Photos coming soon
