JDM mx5 in the uk

[Jaymo_sx]

I've owned the car for about a week now, so this first post has a couple of edits in it from throughout the week!

So I now own an mx5, never thought i'd get one as i've never been much of a fan of them! but after driving it I cant believe how fun it is! So So Grippy! (although im more into drifting)

I have a few things lined up for it, but this is how it stands right now:



Its in relatively good condition really, a few marks on the body work here and there but the rear bumper has faded badly! (Being replaced for a fresher looking one! on its way already)

Its sitting on what look to be rota D1's...but they arent, so im unsure what they are lol! These are currently for sale now as I have some new wheels on the way from rota


A garage vary front lip......which makes the car IMO!

And i may get a hard top soon for it


My wheels turned up:
Rota - BM8 - 15x9 et0



then got my tyre's fitted:




More to come after this weekend when i've rolled the arch's and got these rims fitted, should be a bit of a task but do-able!



Added:

This morning got to work on fitting the wheels which involved:
Roll arch lips
Pull arch's a little
Lower coilovers (all the way)
Remove front arch liners

Did this reasonably well thanks to Chris for the loan of the arch roller again! (actually used it this time!)

This is how shes sitting now Pretty happy, just some other parts I want to Change/Add to it












More bits turned up today which I'll be getting to work on soon

Wait, were you serious about not knowing what those SSRs are? If so, punch yourself in the nuts right now

[SeanDub]

[Dudermagee]

SSR's to rota?
Nice upgrade bro

[Shmo]

Those Rota's really make the car look better than the SSR, but dropping it more helps too

[Jaymo_sx]

They weren't ssr's guys lol, they were just stickers!

Trust me I checked haha, weren't real splits



Thanks for the comments, I have some legit shit in mind for this car haha

Car looks stunning! Just about to get a hold of these wheels for my friends white MX5 MK1. Hers is UK Spec IIRC.

[slimadi]

Looks awesome them rims really have made all the difference

car looks awsome btw, i reckon those fake splits were calibre dubs as they look exactly the same!
