Even your MX-5 has a regal silver tint. :mrgreen:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

So have you settled on a colour yet Stan?

Saw an NA6 at mania on the weekend which looked like it had been recently resprayed. Looked absolutely fantastic! Have you thought about staying with the standard colour?

After all that...... Classic Red it will stay. Most colour's which have been painted well, will look spectacular. I guess the red belongs to the NA's

I've got some issues with the front spoiler too......to be continued. :mrgreen:

Of course you'd then need to balance the rear end with something beefier too...

:lol: No bigdog :lol: I had to cut it off the old bumper as 1 of the screws just would not come undone. A 2nd has come out of the anchoring point from within the spoiler. Probably get it to hold back it with aryldite or something. I'll get some pics.

The 1st screw may gave to be drilled out in the end. I just dont have enough strength to get it undone. Drilling out a screw is not my favourite pastimes.
