I saw a car outside an apartment belonging to friends in Italy that had hail damage.
It literally looked as though someone had attacked the car with a hammer…
You wouldn’t have wanted to be caught out in the open in that hailstorm…

If you are after a blower these have very good reviews and I regularly see them being used on YouTube detailing channels

I have a pair of Stebel TM80 horns in red from MX5Parts, still in their box and complete with instructions, relay etc.
Happy to sell for £25.00 posted

Finally after a fair few other jobs on the must do list, I’ve spent a few hours on the car, just cleaning.

Zing!! That looks cracking! I notice that the majority of people taking pictures of their 5’s have roof down, windows up. It’s the same on the ‘Favourite Photo’ thread as well. I personally prefer taking pictures with the windows down, but it seems I may be the only one.

A whopping 112 DBs according to the box.
I very an idea the Rings are straight diaphragm horns, as opposed to snail wind-tone types, s go beep rather blare.

Fitted a metal floor plate. Not just bling, though. My CarbonMiata floor mats have a heel area and the lip around the edge catches my heel every time I operate the clutch. I tried sanding it flush but that didn’t work, so got this plate which is slightly larger, and covers the lip.
