my little red mk1

Been signed up for ages, but mostly just read stuff rather than commenting.  so anyway heres my mx5!  its a uk model, the early 1.6 with 115bhp and used to be owned by a lady who was registered on here.

started off pretty std, gave it a good clean and a polish

However I was never happy with the smelly cloth seats, so i jumped at the chance of a near mint set of red leather seats locally

From there I got a little carried away and fitted an oem front lip, a set of watanabe rs-8 wheels i have had for years and were originally bought for my polo.  I also colour coded a few parts, resprayed a few faded bits and made myself a set of TSIs

A mate of mine offered to make some copies of my home made tsi setup, so i fitted a set of diy tinted indicators and a vented headlight lid.

 

The car stayed like this for a while, till the tyres got low on the wats.  long story short, then got sold, and a set of rondell alloys replaced them.  oh, and i sprayed the windscreen surround and sprayed and fitted a replacement front wing on the drivers side.

future plans are to repaint the rear wings, fit a ducktail spoiler in place of the mazda one and to get the jackson racing airbox plumbed in.  Other than that, i just plan to enjoy driving it!

Very nice, love the seats
