Gonna bore you with some more random photos. Its gonna be at least another 6 weeks until I have another decent update :(

The car is filthy,and this was a last minute decision :) I only had the camera and tripod,so had to rely on the camera settings and lights in the car park,which didn't help a great deal :/

Small update:

I got these made by Dan Heeks while the car was in the body shop having the respray. Finally got my good friend at Vinyl Works here in Norwich to fit them for me.
We did try fitting the stripes on the side skirts,but with how the skirts curve,it distorted the overall look of the stripes and didn't look right.

I've been honored to have Top Miata post quite a number of photos of the Purple Monster on their Instagram. They're doing a limited run of stickers,so thought it'd be rude not to represent.

It was nice to have some sunshine yesterday,so I took advantage of it,removed the hard top and took a coastal drive

(I made the mistake of making the car level,and not the house in the background,oops!)

Last sunday i joined the local MX5OC for a drive out to Southwold to meet another region,88 MX5s took over the harbour which was a great sight to see :)

Image

I've been after a pair of Zoom Side Repeaters for awhile,i remembered my friend Dan had some so a cheeky message over Facebook got me a pair for free! The plastic washers were missing,but upon looking at them they didnt look too bad with them missing! So they were promtly fitted and wired up

Image

Image

Image

Since owning the car and buying the front bumper,i was always under the impression it was a Racing Beat Type 2. It wasnt until i was browsing through a bumper topic on Club Roadster then i noticed its actually a Forte bumper
