I’m a new NA MX5 owner - having wanted one for years. I must say I’m not disappointed - it’s wonderful!
It’s a real pleasure to drive, and I love all the quirks of owning an older car after having had new cars for the last 6 years.
I have always wanted a classic car, but without the hassle and cost of maintaining one - which is why the MX5 appealed to me.
I have however, seen some photos of a body kit, which I really like. I can’t though see what the body kit is or where to get one, and wondered if anyone else had seen it or tell me where I might get one from.
I’ve attached photos and eagerly await a response.
Pitcrew Racing, from Japan. Mega expensive. http://www.pitcrew-racing.com/
The entire kit is about £2k plus shipping; you might be paying close to £3k for it.
I know there is another one in Watford, as it was recently for sale, painted in peach (I nearly brought it). I was offered a front clip from NZ with the bumper; £500ish, and it was broken, at the most important bit, where the fron Pit Crew nose meets the wing. This is not really a bolt-on kit. Unless you’re prepared to spend a bit on bodywork, and repainting the whole car, this is what you’ll end up with:
Note the “join”. Since it is bonded here, used noses are going to be broken at that bit. Fine if you’re all prepared with the Isopron.
Try visiting mx5nutz.com, there are 2 guys over there with them; Robsroadster who is building one from scratch and madaboutmx5s who is doing one up that he bought!
Good luck with it, they look stunning when done well, but as has already been mentioned there is a lot of work involved,
