Wow! :shock:

Thanks a lot for that Caffine, I think the lighter colours (White/Slilver/etc.) will work really well on the ND. :mrgreen:

I have just returned from SEMA and was lucky enough to be at the Mazda stand when they ripped the covers off the car. Must say I was pretty impressed in the flesh and will upload some dodgy I-phone pics once I have a chance to go through them. They also had the 15th ever MX5 there which became the first Spec Miata race car and the first ever race winning MX5, vey nice piece of history

Was also lucky enough to get to visit 'the collection garage' at Mazda HQ Irvine, MINDBLOWING cars and experience! Will put some pics up
