Spoiler fitting attempt no. 2!

All clamped up, going to sit in the nice warm garage overnight to set.

Hopefully it'll stay on this time....

There's only one way to find out!

Or the 150 mile drive home tomorrow!

Spoiler's on!

Who said aftermarket spoilers hide the brake light?

I know it looks relatively flat in these pics, i'll see what i can do with a bit of polish once the lacquer has had a few days to harden

Decided to have a play with a superwide lens today

My dad and i built the MX5 in the background up as a track toy, 258bhp with an eaton supercharger.

i may put a thread up about it on here if you guys want

pics look good mate, bring that camera and lense to the SCP meet dude, we need some quality pics! also like you said the spoiler does look a little flat but I'm sure you will be able to sort it out.

how did you stick your front reg there dude?

Use long bolts with wing nuts , if you've got skinny arms then you can get them down the back of the bumper by removing the front (topmost) grill and hold the wing nut behind the grill, then pass the bolt through to meet it.

Alternatively, take the bumper off and its very simple, same process.

shame it looks really dull mate, looks good. oh what did you use to stick it on with? if your having problems, use tigerseal if you already haven't

I did use tigerseal, its still stuck on my hand!

I'm very tempted to just do lots of masking apply more lacquer with it on the car. It depends how it settles down after hardening.

Lows needed!

get hold of sum coils and its guna look wiked man well done

New screen went in today! I winced when i saw the guy cutting the old one out though

Hi is this a 1.0 E coz I got the same but I aint got fogs, alloys etc, pm me

Yes it is, added all that stuff myself Including central locking!

Service Time ! Just oil and filter, plus fuel system for now. I'll change the pollen filter when i get round to it, plus whip the spark plugs out and give them a clean later

Made a minor styling tweak-

Not sure it works with the blue but i'll give it some time

Apologies for bad pics , only had the phone to take em with!

Put on a subtle sunstrip this afternoon given that its now really sunny!

Those pics were taken mid way through the fitting, the bubbles have now gone after much squeegeeing

Gave the car a wash today:

Thought i'd try to convey the sparkley green flake in the wheel paint- really shows up in the sun!

Got bored with red:

I "liberated" this bad boy from my mum's car before it goes to the scrappys tomorrow, with the careful use of some paper templates i should be able to make some tailored mats from it

Watch this space!

All marked up.....

...... 10 min and a sliced open finger later.....

All thats left to do is tape up the edges! I might use some DPM sniper tape i have lying about, or just black

1 taped up mat:

I decided to retrim my switch panel, instead of revision

1 disembowelled filofax later, i had some trimming material....

And all finished !

Sorry for that massively underexposed pic, metering is playing up on the old camera. Will get a better pic later.

Finally the camera stopped menstruating all over the place:

Quick update: I'm picking up some new springs courtesy of Mr Saywell next weekend, and nothing's gonna stop me this time! Cheap lows here I come!

I've also just ordered some 100w main beam headlamp bulbs so i can actually see where i'm going at night!
