Seeing as they were a topic of conversation today at the Swansea meet,.. and one has arrived in the Readers Rides forum... Anyone got any nicely modded examples? There are a bunch of small pictures here : homepage2.nifty.com/h-h-h/cs_member.htmlBut the ones I like don't have any more info on, and I can't find any other pictures of them..

i must say the purple stripes one looks hellish, superglue and a ramraid session at ripspeed me thinks. I do however like the yellow and silver ones with the different front end, looks kinda like a 60's coupe racer, interesting.

Annoys me a bit about the stereotypes of only hairdressers and women driving them, they're a well-balanced, cheap, RWD car! Sound like good fun to me! but its true.

I know, I tried to prove a point driving round looking at MX5 drivers and 4 out of 5 were women.

"I wanted to make some rear brake vents in the skirts and thought some louvres would look nice so I got this double aluminium vent from Homebase" Yes folks, Homebase.

Yes folks, Homebase. The rest of it isn't to my taste, but that's a really cool idea! Quite inventive

Most people direct cold air onto the brakes to cool them down . He seems to trying to draw the air awy with his homebase vents. He should have gone to Wickes they would have been cheaper I am really a fan of MX-5`s. But I don't think bodykits suit them decent wheels and the right stance are all they need. Brilliant handling little beasties just the right amount of power and grip and everything is so direct. Only problem is they are too small for me so when I drive them I end up looking over top of the windscreen
