Thanks Broady - skirts are on the way from the US next week, they'll require repainting along with the fitment so it may be a month or so.

You probably swear a tad more than I do though (I reckon I was around 300 during my sway bar install).


Agreed - even though it took so long, it was worth it I reckon. :mrgreen:

Thanks Stu, yep, the eye teeth an absolute (swearword)!

Anyone else looking to do the same thing with a larger intercooler should know how to remove the front bar...

Booked the car tentatively to go into Impact Panel this weekend (weekends are by appointment only), and once it's finished, the outside will be completed. Holes in the back will be fixed also, so Davex3 may finally shut up!! :mrgreen:

Pics to follow as soon as I get my baby back!

Nope - not yet. I was considering the full LED version, but didn't like the ring of lights going around the perimeter...

Either way, most will hate it, and Davex3 will call me a ricer but I'm cool with that.

looking a lot better

Now all you need on the rear bumper is to replace the SE badge and the MX-5 badge.....wait......wut?

Damn, I wish I'd gotten around to installing my skirts!

I wonder what it would look like completely unbadged front and rear......can't quite decide.

Just a thought.

I must admit, I had my doubts about "the skirts" but they do look good, not tacky or "try hard" at all.

Car's looking pretty damn good Crapweasel!

Now for the pista de resistance:
