Hello!

My name is Chris aka Hoodedreeper i'm 22 from Norwich,England

A full service was first on the list and then came some modifications

re-located number plate,style bar,Custom Digital Camo Graphics,Mini Superlites 13x7j ET-7 with 175/50/13 bridgestone tyres,TA Technix Coilovers











Which was followed by some sideways action...

Lockwood Dials

[FEB 2012] A minor accident at a drift day





Bought some lexus lights really cheap,and changed them abit



Fitted to the car

Removal of the damaged wing



Bumper was damaged aswell (was damaged when i bought the car) so removed that



Got the new door,wing and bumper on and decided to paint the whole car Military Desert Tan (i rolled it on)













Took a 260 mile trip to London,UK to visit the Banksy Graffiti Tunnel (Banksy is a famous Graffiti Artist)

[MARCH 2012]

TR LANE Roll Cage fitted (soft top removed aswell)







Sparco Sprint V Bucket Seat fitted



Sparco 4 Point Harness purchased

And thats how the car stands today (infact the seat and roof was done today)

Other plans are:

Garage Vary Lip
Ducktail Spoiler
P5 Chassis Rail Braces
Paint Interior

And Banksy is awesome

Love it. Loved the ratty look of the pixelated camo too.

+1, Even the Desert Storm Beige / Military Desert Tan looks good, Kudos!

damn that looks awesome!

loved the camo...the brown rocks also

Welcome Chris,

I've been pondering doing my people mover in blue digital cammo.

Thanks for sharing the progress so far.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely different to our local ones. Especially the camo and khaki looks. Not to mention the minilite 13s.

White NA in camo, in the snow, is something I would never expect to see here!

MX5s seem to be less than half the cost in the UK compared to here.
So tempting for us to come to Europe, find a decent cheap MX5 and drive it for a month instead of a hire car.

Like the tan significantly more than the cammo but still cool at all stages regardless.

Liking this car. Weird to see an MX5 with bits of rust though, haha.

... again? What colour?

I like it. Looks heavy but its well on its way!

Thanks for the feedback so far! Painting the car Desert Tan was always going to be a risk,especially as alot of people liked the digi camo.I think i've pulled it off well. I was going to do it Nato Green or Olive Drab,but alot of people have done that already and i've never seen one this colour.

Superlites will be going Black (Ford Panther Black to be abit precise) Its a deep black with some silver metallic in it. Heres a sample photo
