Ideas for my respray

OK to get back on the subject.

I think someone suggested painting the the mudflaps black. Prolly not a bad idear as they are easy enough to repaint if it looks totally hideous & for when you sell the car.

badges. My own taste....I hate any Eunos Badge on an MX5......it devalues the car in a lot of minds. (including my own.) No badges means you may be trying to hide something. so its a tough call. defenantly display the Clubman badge if you have it. . At the very least. but again were talking opinion here which is always subjective.

I'm a traditionalist......make the car as it was originally. When it comes to the paint job, it increases the value once you try to sell it.

thats my take on it. agree with it ....or not. :mrgreen:

bout time someone said that..

Adam I would ... debadge the car, but keep the clubman badge on there. Spray the sills white, and keep the mudflaps. They make the back look more flared..

As for indicators rewire them to \"clear\" front reflectors, and get the air intake bits for where the parkers go. Then put some nice low-watt spot lights in the mouth, and wire them to take the place of the parking light.. stripes are optional.. ;)

I used to like my rear mudflaps but recently took them off just to see something different...

with out the rear muds I reckon they look a little tougher IMO if thats the look youre after.. coupled with some wider wheels and lowered thats what i liked anyway..

I since put them back on though as they hide by bald rear tyres.

I do reckon you should also spray the sills! makes the car look about 3 inches lower.. once again depends on the look youre after..

Yours has a rollcage, and its not a weird colour, just a bit of nail polish... sorry, pearl over the top :p

I'm really torn re the sills... I do like the black sills from some angles, but I'd like the body shape to be fully visible in photos and the black sills can make it look a tad odd. Decisions decisions

Front mudflaps.... hmmmm, that almost looks like a tasteful sideskirt end lol
