I'm impressed, I wish I had the skill and space to do stuff like that, my Clubman needs the front end slightly realigned aswell I think

Zossy, how did you or the panel shop go in getting the Clubman sticker off?

Thanks, Chris!

Looks fantastic. All going to plan? Hardtop looks good too. Are any mods getting painted white? Indicator intakes?

My MX5 highlight in Darwin was a white NA8 with Bilstein sticker. No Clubman sticker though.
I may have seen three MX5s total including a couple of NBs.

No sign of the Darwin forum members, though.

Once I've recovered at home from the break I'm keen to catch up with you. :)

Deal :)

"Your" car is now ready for rego - just needs a good clean. I have been a slacker with the pics but they are imminent. Damn this rain though!

Is the sticker going back on?


I'm just back from HJT's factory unit and got to see lots of NA areas to learn about drainage channels etc.

The mx5mania GB TSIs look great. Have you tried on the Enkei wheels yet?

Phew, what a day!

Went up and picked up the car this morning. The paint looks great! I am really happy with the finish :)

Yes, the Enkeis will go on soon - but I spent today cleaning up the other car a bit :) Both will go down for Blue Slips in the next couple of weeks :)

The Clubman decal was slightly damaged when they removed it - i'll shoot you a PM, 93_C :)

Tomorrow I am buffing the black car, then the white car will get some more attention :)
