The thing that annoys me with the Orange and Ford. Is the colour match.

It's terrible, the photo doesn't show how bad, but you can tell if you look at the metal door compared to the plastic side skirts...

EDIT: Just noticed the RS bonnet vents too. Where they on when you bought it? I'm not a fan.

Lighter metallic colours often show up slightly different on plastic/metal, happens to Vauxhalls a lot too.

Rollover bar looks good, wheels are ok but not great, but for the love of god take of that backbox and rear lights, looks terrible.

Side reflectors too...

Is it some kind of US bumper model thing?

They all come with them, they are orange as standard, they do look better clear / ice.

I thought of that scene as soon as i posted it

But regardless, it does look strange.

For the rear light skeptics. I'll probably stick the clear side reflectors back on. I like the wheels and the backbox is staying as it sounds great.

Draeger · 2 May 2013 at 13:57

I have to say I prefer those rear lights.

But the back box still looks a bit out of place. It would look better mounted a bit further back, tucked under the bumper a bit more. Have you looked at maybe chopping the link pipe a bit to try this?. Would look so much better. Great looking little MX5 though, in the best colour IMO.

Fit the OEM Mk2.5 rear lights.

I'd probably spray the clear side reflectors body coloured.

LizardKing · 2 May 2013 at 14:22

I dont think anything would make those side reflectors look good other than filled in and colour coded

As for the exhaust please say there is at least an engine there that can make use of it? Its just to big for such a small car to not look out of place

else nice looking mx5

Recently purchased 2001 BMW 330i, still got Z3 till I decide what to do with it.

paradigm · 2 May 2013 at 19:41

Nice exhaust tips :/

And the wheels look odd.

[TW]Fox · 2 May 2013 at 19:51

Looks like the OEM 330i exhuast tips to me? Whats wrong with them?

Yea as far as I know they are :confused:

Accept the alloys aren't stock but they aren't exactly offensive, cheers for the feedback though para.

Tom|Nbk · 2 May 2013 at 20:25

Just out of curiosity what do they call the colour of the car, not seen many in this form.

mjt · 2 May 2013 at 20:34

Oxford Grün isn't it?

Tom|Nbk · 2 May 2013 at 20:39

It looks like it, I think it's fantastic different to what I normally go for!

[TW]Fox · 2 May 2013 at 20:43

Oxford Green II

The mx5 looks 100x better already after getting rid of those god awful chav lights.

Not keen on the exhaust, looks like one of them what makes your car sound like it is going 14356765885mph when it is actually only going 10mph.
