think those doglegg things are 4x108 ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) i know its a bit pervy but i liked the look of the car between the paint stages, just rubbed down, but then I'm a scruffy sod. no worries on the brewski, was cool meeting ya, catch up with ya again soon.... will pick ya brains again- when I'm ready, is it ok to bring that gas bottle adapter over where ya wwork and see what fittings i need to blank stuff off. then ill get me some gas and have a welding practise frenzie ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . hows about doing ya momos black? or are they going back on the mx5

![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) gutted for you matey, but on the bright side, like you say,, hell pay and youll get a decent fender to replace it with... are they still available new for these, replica panels or anything. or is it a case of finding a good used one. in the meantime, the dents add to the cars charm ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

i luvs this car, looks ace without the indicators, would ya get away with putting them behind the grill?, maybe even tint them so they are only visible when lit! dunno about the stereo plate, looka good in alloy, but would look more discreet in black- but then , if ya drive a gold camaro, maybe discreet isnt really you! ;D ;D

another quick update... was after a roll bar for the motor, a few beers too many one night and i'd bid on a couple on ebay.won one at a reasonable price, all happy ;D looking g at pics of others, I think this is the mazdaspeed one. next day, got an email... had won the bidding on another one too ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) different type of bar though, this one goes down to the floor behind the seats, so seems a bit beefier ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) again ,looking at pics, think this is the carbing one. the bars arrived, tried the first one out, this goes from the top of the seatbelt towers, then the two rear bars bolt to the floor in the boot. when I tried the second bar though, I hit a prob, with the bar going behind the seats, you lose about 2 inches of travel in the seat, I did try the bar in the car and tried driving it just isnt comfy for me, I'm not that tall, don't like to be too close to the steering wheel ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) looks like this ones gonna be back on ebay ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) decided to paint the bar white, original plan was red, but I'm curse word at making firm decsions, might even end up red or black yet, once I decide, ill get it powder coated. have a few pics ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/016-4.jpg) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/021-6.jpg) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/032-6.jpg) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/003-7.jpg) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/004-9.jpg) also had me a couple of RR visitors, Dans, daily/track yaris, luv how me boot looks the same height as the wheel arches ;D ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/spazda/047-1.jpg) this jolly pain in the backside probably doesnt need an introduction ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/gavs%20datty/071.jpg) back in bed ![](http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g18/CarlB_2006/gavs%20datty/077.jpg)

nice, never understood why why a great handing rwd sports car is considered 'ghay' and a chavved up corsa/saxo/lupo handbag car isn't.... same here dude! Still anyone who knocks an mx5 in my book is clearly just a moron who knows stuff all about good cars Great pics dude, love those shots by the rock faces! wish I had places like that for photo shoots ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) cheers matey, were really lucky here i guess. thats my private test track a one way road that goes around the great orme, no real purpose for it other than the views. theres a speed limit but never see the police there, just sometimes get the odd moment where ya round a bend and theres a goat in the middle of the road ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) ohhh and the odd rock fall ;D part of the track is used as a stage for the cambrian rally, found this on pootube ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
