Here's mine.

Not long completely resprayed by J-Racing here in Canberra.

The bodykit was originally off a wrecked MX5. Bought it from MX5 Mania. J-Racing did all the repairs on it. Only the side skirts were in 100% condition. They then resprayed the MX in Ford Blaze Red and the hardtop in a mirror gloss black.

Wheels are BSA.

MX5 Mania installed a 1.8 for me, replacing the 1.6. Along with a set of extractors.

Now saving for Wolf computer and cams.

Thanks happi_steve

got the spotlights from Autobarn. Can't remember the exact brand name, but they only cost me $60 from memory. I can check it out tomorrow when I go to Autobarn and let you know. I like them over others that I have tried. They don't have a long beam and are more spread beam with some distance. Almost like a low beam length so that when you are on high beam and these lights you don't lose any light in front of the car.

I tried the Narva equivalent spotlights. Awesome light and power, but they were full on pencil beams with no side spread at all, just round circles of light for long distance. I prefered the spread beam especially for the winter time fog around Canberra
