Looks great.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yep, looks great in the sun! I'm still not sold on the rims though...

i think the rims look great on it, i'm just not sold on the sidemount front no. plate bracket, makes the car look unbalanced, however that is just my personal opinion, you've done a great job on it MasterZ 8)

That colour looks a bit like the NB8B Garnet Red.

well when i originally started thinking about respraying my NA i decided to go for garnet red (this was about a year ago). it's just about my favourite factory / standard mx5 colour . after that i got thinking about orange. then i thought that was a bit ricey so was looking at blue and settled on winning blue .

i think i've come full circle and i'll go back to garnet red ...

Just being pedantic (nor having a go), but you can't park on the nature strip nor that close to an intersection.
