GV LIP INSTALLED AND LIGHTS FIXED

16bit · Postby **16bit** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:40 pm

just got these yesterday with a gv lip too but i think its not the correct one and does not fit. i think it looks quite sharp and should reduce weight by a little. main benifit will be the vent as I am in the middle of making an undertray which will close the bottom up a bit.

whoa to the bonnet

looks sick.

not too sure about the boot lid. where the boot lid is supposed to line up with the tail lights, it looks like there's a gap there......

Well done, looks awesome. Thats the first vent in a mx5 bonnet that I've really liked.

Where did it come from?

Nice work 16bit !!!

Carbonfibre GALORE, all you need now is a CF hardtop, and CF the GV lip.

And polish up those foggy headlights

Phwooaarr... power :lol:

hump AND a vent... that's a nice touch!

Like the other guys... details details!
full carbon? carbon overlay?
how much lighter??

Definitely have a good theme going there though

its all garage vary stuff. the quality is first rate. not too sure of the weight. its not rediculously light as it is still wet carbon. I think its top layer then the bracing is fibre glass. you have to see it to appreciate the quality. I bought it all new from japan through takakaira.co.jp. postage was a killer but i would have paid more to buy through an aussie importer anyway.

Request a slimline plate for the front, and get a sidemount bracket for the plate.

yeah probably going to get a personalised plate soon. the car has 5 months off the road so I think there will be time.

The good boags came over tonight to confirm i do have the correct lip but I just needed to force it a bit more to fit. I have mocked it up with some tape. I feel it looks pretty good. Not sure if i am going to leave it unpainted as is or give it a few coats of black.
