Love it. Loved the ratty look of the pixelated camo too.

+1, Even the Desert Storm Beige / Military Desert Tan looks good, Kudos!
2006 NC Galaxy / Black manual soft top. Ipod, K&N, leathery bits & piano black with smoked repeaters...The love affair has moved up a notch.

Welcome Chris,

I've been pondering doing my people mover in blue digital cammo.

Thanks for sharing the progress so far. :beer:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Thanks for sharing! Definitely different to our local ones. Especially the camo and khaki looks. Not to mention the minilite 13s. :D

White NA in camo, in the snow, is something I would never expect to see here!

MX5s seem to be less than half the cost in the UK compared to here.
So tempting for us to come to Europe, find a decent cheap MX5 and drive it for a month instead of a hire car. :)

Like the tan significantly more than the cammo but still cool at all stages regardless.

Liking this car. Weird to see an MX5 with bits of rust though, haha.

Thanks for the feedback so far! Painting the car Desert Tan was always going to be a risk,especially as alot of people liked the digi camo.I think i've pulled it off well. I was going to do it Nato Green or Olive Drab,but alot of people have done that already and i've never seen one this colour.

Superlites will be going Black (Ford Panther Black to be abit precise) Its a deep black with some silver metallic in it. Heres a sample photo
