Time for some slimline plates too!

Second picture doesn't work.

Unfortunately, your car is going to be shark bait with that paint job, big chrome wheels and a P plate. Surprised they didn't get you for that seeing as it's not next to the number plate.

Looks like you're doing a good job though!

Yep... I predict that isn't the last time they will pull you over either... That car is screaming *DEFECT ME* becasue i'm young and drive fast... :cry:

That is why if I ever go FI i'm doing a sleeper job. I appreciate what you have done though!

very interesting how you have done that, does the soft top still function ?
its good to see some P platers like myself driving MX-5's

but yeah i think you will get some attention from the cops sooner or later, but hey thats just the way it is

How did that half-purple paint style originate?

Also, be sure to post a pic up of the carpeted sub box - I'm interested to see how subtle it looks!

Wow, having that sub behind your head is going to do nothing for frequency response :shock:

Nice idea for an install though and it looks oike you've spent alot of time moulding that box.

Subtle!...subtle!
You're joking right. It looks like it'll take an eye out :lol:

Let alone what it could do to Corey's ear.

I couldn't think of a more appropriate word

Maybe.. to see how much it can blend in with the rest of the car?

Here's mine:

Nice install. Shame about having to rip up the carpet (or at least that's what it looks like). How easy was it to do? Might be worth doing for my 6x9's.

The carpet hasn't been ripped up at all. I just had to remove the metal tray thingy, and the carpet sits there instead of being fixed down by the button thingies.

Removal of that tray was many many bolts. Some people I know just cut straight into the tray to install their speakers/sub - but for my sub install I just flat out removed it. So effectively my install is 100% reversible.
