Amazing, perfect and cool. Too bad we've seen a thousand just like it.. 10/10 for effort and cleanliness, 3/10 for orginality. Toss something different under the hood and give it hell for a year, then we're talking  |

I can see the point of lowering to improve handling but that sort of lowering is just for show. I can't see the point also those tyres will wear too quickly. It's blantantly a show car and not a DD. For me a car has to be capable of being a DD or its pointless. Thats why I have no love for supercars.

I think it's laaaarvely, it features some of my favourite things such as Work Equips and carbon fibre. I can't see what there is to dislike to be honest. Except the driver's seat. And the rear window spoiler. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

No.
Sorry, that just looks like a fat kid sat on it. It must be f*cking horrible to drive. No wheel \ suspension travel and bump steer to rival the worst Porsche has to offer.
A shame.

I think the carbon lets it down too. If it were all black, I reckon it would be a lot better.
I'm not saying its bad though, its a fantastic looker otherwise.

The more ive looked at it the reason i don't like those wings has become more apparent! It looks like the black has been cut back to paint the wings. Sorta like sandpaper swirls.....  |

That's cool. If I seen that in real life I'd stop, have a nose and take a few snaps for sure.

I don't know what's not to like really, but each to their own! Sure it's probably lost some of its handling performance (and I personally think that's one of the greatest things about MX5's), but as soon as you start modifying any car you begin making trade-offs. Looks and stance are obviously more important to this guy than perfect roadholding. Others have different priorities, but that's what modifying is all about to me - making a mass-produced one-size-fits-all car into something very personal and individual.  |

I think The car is nice but the carbon fibre looks more like poor colour matching from a distance and the wheel choice just doesn't seem right. hasn't dirtied the mx5 scene though. |

This ^^ Personally I love the look of it from a visual impact point of view. If I'm really picky then I'd probably either ditch a little of the camber, or get the wheels sat a little further inboard. As others have said, I think the carbon doesn't quite match well enough colour wise, its too close to the body colour to work as a contrast, but different enough to stand out, and as a result looks more like a bad colour from a distance. I know someone who used to have an early Audi A3 in that kinda graphite grey colour they did. He fitted a carbon bonnet, and it looked awesome, it colour matched the rest of the paint perfectly, so from more than a few feet away you'd never notice unless you were looking for it. Very subtle and cool. |

One of my favourites this one, different enough to be unique while incorporating a lot of the things I love about a properly stanced Roadster. Once mines done, judging by the comments on here, a lot of people are going to hate it, because this is pretty much what I'm aiming for.
