Classic red from The Netherlands (Europe)
Hi.. Here my little story about my mx5 project...
2 years ago, i bought my first Mazda MX5.. Glad like a child i drove it to my home.. with a big smile on my face.  This is the car how i bought it. In meantime i did a lot of work on the car. I added some red leather to the interior...  Another steeringwheel and leather chairs in red / black. I added also a couple of clear bumperlights. Then i tought my rims are not what is should be... Because new rims are very expensive for me, i painted the originals black and added a red line to it.  So when i painted them black, another problem was comming up... My little car looks like a 4x4... So i had to lower it.... I added some new coilovers to lower it 3 a 4 cm's....  In meantime i added DRL in the grille an painted the mirrors black... A little black spoiler added to the trunk....  Because i missed something on the back, i bought some styling bars... Very nice extra !  After i added the styling bars, i painted the aroundings from the front windows black (don't know how to call it in english)

Re: Classic red from The Netherlands (Europe)
Because i added a lot of black parts to my car, i tought it would be nice to smoke the bumperlights and added some led lights..
I also bought a bumperlip in black !   I also smoked my sidemarkers and sideblinkers...   i bought a new rooftop.... Very nice piece of fabrik. I wanted to buy a Vinyl one, but someone emailed me with a very, very good offer. I could buy a one year old fabrik rooftop for the same money i should pay for a vinyl one.. So, i bought it ans i'm very happy with it... See the pictures...    After that i added some lazy eyes... nothing special, but it's fun !   New taillights and other Rims... I like these because they are wider then my old rims.. What do you think ?

Re: Classic red from The Netherlands (Europe)
I attached a Tow loop on my little car...
I also painted the MX5 logo on the grille..   I made Low profile headlights by myself... Buying new ones was to expensive for me so i made it myself. First i had to find out how to make the lights going open less far... That was no problem.. i shortened the bars in the headlight units and bend the pivots from the headlight motors. I bought 2 headlights from a company in germany for under the 100 euro's... This is the result     To see the difference between original and my DIY low profiles :  Added a twin exhaust... Nice sound..

Re: Classic red from The Netherlands (Europe)
I bought me a new Cat and a stainless steal manifold...
   After that, i added some stainless steal to my dashboard..  So, my 5 year old doughter want to make a new 'horn' for me... So she did....  The word 'toeter' means Horn in Dutch I also added some extra gauges.....   A new spoilerlip... I removed the black little one, and added a new red one.... I like it....     In meanwhile i bought a new steering wheel.... first i bought a flat one, but they did deliver me a deep dish..... I think i will hold it.... it's a nice wheel.... A new Audio/Navigation system is build in... And new carpets are in the car....    i also painted the spoilerlip in semi-glossy black....  And that's how i drive my mx5 at this moment.... 2 years after buying it... So it's a long story, but hey, who cares...
