This is my car and I love it! I have fitted a stainless steel style bar from MX5 parts since I took these pics so must get round to taking some new ones.
looking good get some snaps of the bars fitted nice wheels also
Nice looking car, and a cool shade of blue… like the seat covers also…
Happy motoring…post some more pics when you get a chance.
Nice…love the seat covers
Yes, very nice seats, arae they ALacantra?
Thanks, I really like the seats too, they were recovered before I got it but they did a good job. I also like the colour it looks blue in some lights and green in others, I have no idea what the colour is called though and I’m fairly sure it’s been resprayed so I hope I don’t have problems when I need to get the area around the rear plate sorted out as the laquer is peeling! I will take new pictures soon but I’m too embarrsed too at the mo because it’s filthy
That’s VERY nice indeed !! Love the seats and the colour … and those wheels are cool !!
Do you have any other plans ?
They did a great job on the seats, would love to get mine done, I found out recently that some paints are called pearlescent ( not sure of spelling ) and appear to be different colours under different lighting… maybe thats the paint you have on your 5?
I think I am going to get some chrome eyeball vents to replace the existing ones as they are quite loose and maybe some other chrome bits. I don’t want to do anything to the outside as I really like it the way it is. I like the wheels but they don’t look as good in real life as in pictures so may look in to getting them refurbished but i’m not sure how good they would turn out, maybe it would be better to get new wheels. Other than that I will be leaving it pretty much as is, I was quite lucky in that the previous owner did all the things like replacing the roof, recovering the seats etc so don’t need to do any cosmetic stuff like that[:D]
I can totally recommend getting your alloys refurbished, I got mine done and well worth the money spent on them… from memory it worked out about £40 per alloy from a company called Nu-Luk Wheels (what a great place)… whatever you decide I hope you will post some new pics as you make the changes…Happy Motoring
If the colour is the same as mine, blue in some lights green in others then it’s probably Montego Blue. (think the paint code is M8?)
This is the colour used on the RS Ltd, 94 is also the correct year.
You may be lucky!
Thanks for that, I think you are right and that mine is montego blue, the only reason I thought it was resprayed was that i hadn’t seen another in the same colour. My car was advertised as metalic green so I was quite surprised when I turned up and saw a blue car! I just had a quick browse for montego blue 5’s on the net and they look excactly the same as mine. I even saw one advertised for £4950 (the rs ltd)! No idea if mine is the RS ltd but i only paid £1400 and that was with new hood, cat 1 thatcham alarm, stainless steel exhaust and bilstein suspension, don’t know if any of these things are standard but I think I got a good deal anyway [:)]
The model type should be on the sticker on the drivers door pillar.
Bilstein’s are standard on RS Ltd but if anything like mine (my teeth still chatter!!) I would change them asap.
Just has a look at the sticker and mine is an RS ltd, so hopefully that’s a good thing! i know what you mean about the teeth chattering!!
Montego Blue was also the colour used on the “Gleneagles” limited edition (nice with a tan leather interior)
I have a lowly s-special but it does have the blisteins so I also have regular trips to the dentist for excessive teeth chatter.
Will change them in the kinder weather.
