Great choice in colour :lol: (we red one's need to stick together)
looks like you were one of the lucky ones who got the lip and side-skirts
gold seems to go alot better with red than I thought it would

That looks fantastic, it seems that you like to polish! And the red with gold looks fantastic!

Yup red MX-5s are good aren't they :mrgreen:

I guess now Craig's taken someone else had to get a reputation for parking outside the local school. :P
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

(before I bought it - not looking as shiny now)


Very nice. Your headlights look very clear - have they always been like that, or did you revive them by polishing?

I REALLY want to know where you buy those Round Foglight / Air Vents that were on the front bumper of the "before" photo......................... :?:
I'd like to use one as a cold air intake.

Umm, if you're thinking that my car is a before shot of Fundie's car, it's not :) It's a stock JDM/USDM/etc front bar I think, from the markets that had fog lights in NB8As.

I've seen it on UK cars too, and it's far more likely to see JDM parts over here than USDM ones.

JDM NB8A bumpers are the same as ours

JDM NB8B/C bumpers are different to ours, as they have grille instead of the foglight like we have here.

afaik the only bumper that comes from factory,with the foglights in the nb8a bumper is the USDM bumper.
