i sold my r33 skyline for this as it was slowly making me poorer by the minute, so i traded it in and decided to be "LOW AND SLOW". so im starting slow to build my funds back up.
the mx5 came on some RH CUPS which were very very tatty and wernt my cup of tea, so i gave them a quick blow over in satin black and left them on for now. the MX5'S have an issue with rear arch rust and rust on the mirror brackets, so i decided to get myself some small racing mirrors from JJC RACE AND RALLY for now, so the engineer at work let me knock up some quick brackets to get started, they will be replaced soon
i also decided to tint the front repeaters and put in some LED sidelight bulbs.
I've decided to make this thread after 3 weeks of ownership so excuse the random collection of images I have posted, the RH CUPS are in such bad condition Ill just hide them away until I can get a new set of hoops, the cars got no trance at the moment so bare with me, there's a few issues I need to sort out with the car Including the front tie rod ends and a service and eventually a clutch.
