I never used to like the MX5 and this week you've shown me both the Pit Kit thing and now this fastback and one in Lotus Elan colours... Bad RR, making me want things I can't have.

anyone else catching a slight whiff of Veryron from that yellow one? just from the rear wheels backwards. [EDIT] found a crappy pic of one I saw in traffic once:  it's just the rear arches, bumper and lights really. And I did say only a slight whiff....  ;D |

Ouch! A quick google revealed you can buy the one in most of these shots from the US. For $2,200!

Different exhausts and a blue paint job (Shelby Cobra style) and that last one would look cool IMO. What engine is in it? Needs some go to match those looks.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say I'm not actually overly keen on this kit. I love the idea, but I don't think the kit suits the MX-5s shape all that well. It's mostly the rear screen, and how high the area around the boot is that spoils it for me. If it came down to meet the boot earlier to give it more of a coupe look and less hatch-back, then I think it'd work a lot better. I'm not sure I've explained that very well though.
Despite no-longer owning an MX-5 I actually still really want to make a hard-top conversion for one. It was something I was planning to do with mine in the long-run, but I needed something more practical so it had to go. I even know a company who would probably be up for making a few to sell once I've made a mould for them to use. So yeah, next summer, if anyone local wants to donate an MX-5 (preferably with a hard-top) for me to borrow for a while then they'd be welcome to keep the first one to come out of the mould. I'd be aiming for something a lot closer to the factory version, but with the rear screen coming a little lower to keep the majority of the boot's lines.

Seeing how the initial concept and design was based on the small British sports cars of the 60s it not surprising the hardtops were also copied from the le mans spitfire.   |
