Looks buck-toothed like Bugs Bunny, see if you can get it back in the hole a bit

Hey mate, you do know that you can get a replacement slimline plate from vic roads for about $30. I think that'd look much better! Other wise good work, i'd do similar if it wasn't for the damage behind my plate due to the brilliant OEM design :roll:

Ben,

Haha, beleive it or not i had slimlines from day of purchase. However with recent change in rego i recieved thos fat ugly ones. Thanks mum!

I thought the slimline ones were close to 100 or something, if they are 30 i dont know what im doing with these haha, i dont mind the fat one on the back, but on the front i want slim.

And to be honest i like it where it is, maybe it could go in a little bit but the more u go in the less it becomes visable.

I recently purchased a slimline for the front of my car, I left the rear one standard. It was only $30- something for the one.

Oh nice, so you agree that the rear looks nice with the standard dimensions?

The way the rear of the na6 rear panel is designed the slim line would look silly as you'll be able to see pic below. I haven't really thought about it in relation to a nb, I think the rear one looks fine in the photos, though a slimline would probebly look a little better. However, the front would make the most difference.

Oh yeah definately agree, and ofcourse you have the rims i want

With a bit of luck i found a bloke selling them, might have them within a month or so, how exciting!

Awesome

They are in my opinion the best looking mx5 oem wheel, although thats a somewhat biased opinion :wink:

You'll probebly be one of the few people that I know of to run them on a nb8a.

Oh why not, even if i had 3 thousand to spend i would still buy those rims, they are probably the most asthetically pleasing rims i have ever seen and i dont know why.

I will def get onto that slimline idea, thankyou for your input.
