DLR's??? or DRL's. You're lucky I took the car out of my garage let alone set up a beautiful shot

.. ah, typo.. DRLs
I'm sure taking your car out of the garage takes less effort than Wun kick-starting this bike-thingamajig

I thought they looked a bit too straight to be your handy work.

Awwww crap. You know he's going to take this out on me now. Should have seen him examining my stripes and taking pics of any problem areas to be used against me.

Dat sexy ass!!!

So in a moment of madness I decided to cut my rear bumper. It was my plan on my last MX5 to cut the rear bumper but I never had the balls. This time I did. Ever since I picked this car up and looking through the dismal selection of aftermarket rear bars for this model I decided I needed to cut the bar down. Looking on clubroadster I saw a couple of cut bars with RB lower braces which I thought was awesome, so I ordered myself one of them as well. I already had an aftermarket stainless exhaust so I just polished that up and then I painted the rear tow hooks to blend them in a bit. You'll have to excuse my dodgy vinyl work at the rear, it will be fixed soon enough.

My next project has just arrived in the mail. It might take me a while to get this done though but it will be awesome. Door pulls in black alcantara with red stitching. Centre console cover in black alcantara with red stitching and centre console lid in black nappa leather with red stitching. Should look fantastic. The only issue being that my gear lever and hand brake boots look nasty next to the Nappa. Stay tuned

what happened to the tail light surrounds??

Also, looking great with the new mods. Not a huge fan of the stripes but I'm just one man.

The taillight surrounds are in progress. I'm having a few issues with the paint and I just redid them for the third time yesterday. They'll be on soon. Can't have everyone be a huge fan of everything, I'm just glad you like most of it :beer:

Looks fantastic... seeing these black NBs makes me feel like getting a colour change for mine. Definitely my favorite NB colour.

Thanks, although I'm not sure if you like the colour or the car

Black is fantastic but all this can be done with other colours just as easily and just as effectively

Both, well the combination of elements here in any case... Wheels, bumper cutout, the way the body colour works with the NB lines and the way it contrasts with the exposed muffler all come together really well IMO.
